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.

I have seen a few turbo cars here and there with the exahust similar to the way I am doing it....Never gave it a second thought.

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
