Let Speed Inc build the turbo set up and put a huge decal on the left door and let SDPC do the motor and put a huge decal on the right door. Then toss a decent shot on it for the pinks hustle effect. Put in a nice suspension and a 400 or a glide and that thing should boogie!
I watch a lot of Pinks and the best way to win is have a faster car and never run it all out. Let them think they are close when the whole time you never even sprayed the car yet. It works evertime and most of the time it's 3-0 at the end of the show. The most important thing though is that you get the car together with enougth time to get some shake down pases in and get this bitch dialed in. I have seen so many guys lose their cars on pinks because they never dialed it in right and they took it straight from the shop to the show.

faster car seems to win most of the time, but it is a big hustle, thank god we have a chi town street racer driving, couldnt ask for anything better.

i like the idea of l92 heads on it, you can say its a stock block, stock headed motor, lol. we just wont talk about the portwork on the heads of the internals of the block

My two cents that nobody asked for:

Although this street racer seems like a great candidate, I vote we have a girl drive the car. Better yet, somebody teach there grandma to drive a stick. On top of everything the Blue Oval Boys would be losing to lil ol' Betsy.

As far as donations. How about if (when) we take that stang, we raffle it off, and every $5 donated toward the buildup of the car counts as a raffle ticket. Any surplus cash could be put to use hiring a wizard to fix our search feature.

We hope to finish the car while driving down, wrenching on it inside an inclosed trailer, all the while pounding Red Bulls.

Actually we plan to do the opposite. Hope y'all come out.

So when you get the donations set up will you take Canadian money? I would suggest that you open up the request for donations and that any money that might be left over donate to a charity. You might be able to do that at the start of the show. I would think that a turbo setup would be ideal. Change the boost to whatever you need. The ford camp is not going to be slow.

JUST AN OPINION


I aggree, but I'm kinda lost why you don't want to take donations. Yes it would be great for people to show up, but it would also be nice to have member support. What would it be like for pinks to say that this many (xxxx) people, mostly strangers, teamed up to build this car. It seems like many, many, many people want to have a hand in helping and feeling like a part of the project wether it's 5 to 50 bucks.

Yes, the forum is here with a BIG help from the sponsors, but it's also here because of the people that use the forum. And even though it wasn't asked for, there my opinion.

DONATATION FOR THE WIN!
couldnt of said ot more perfect.

im registered for pinks all out and my car isnt done, ill take sponsors and donations

ya john, let us help out, we want to be part of this even if we cant be there, you know how many proud ls1techers want to watch ls1tech kick some *** knowing they helped do it. this has to be the best forum there is with the best community. we want to do our part

I would stay away from a boosted engine. I saw one episode were they only let them run so much boost and had a data logger to track it. Boost can come back to bit you. I say direct port hidden inside the intake and a kit on the outside hooked up as well.

who went 9.274@ 151 in an LS1 maybe a bastardized lt1 i am sure that will be beaten soon enough.

Thats what I say. Run 2 seperate kits, and have one of them be Dave's Moneymaker. Agree to run on the motor, yank the bottle for the other kit, and dust them.
