Thanks
I PURPOSLY posted this in the drag racing section because in the FI section it would get lost with all the ghey threads. I find this section Wayyyy more informative with DRAG RACING...
I think my car will be gathering a ton more attention once it gets closer to being finished.
We will keep everyone posted with the work as it gets finished.

I mainly went with the SBC cause of cost invovled and the fact that there are not too many LSx guys pushing 25 plus pounds of boost and making over a 1000+hp that can keep the heads on the car and I did not want to wait for the LSX block and heads to hit the market.

Thats what I figured. I am not building the car to run a "class", just want to have fun with the car.
BMP is pretty lax about tech any way....LOL

Also alot of the guys running big singles with the side exit have found that the thrust from the exhaust actually moves the car on the big end 
Love your car
Nice job!
