The radiator is 22 x 13 double pass, you can get one from Madman with the water pump right on the tank. If I was to do it all over I'd get an all in one.

2900-2950. The weight breaks are coming, if they allow big block twin 91s to run at 3250, the small block single turbos are going to be around 3000-3050. We went 4.70 on a shitty track with power pulled out of it at 3300.

Looks good Phil. When do you expect to have her back together and running again?

Hopefully sooner than later. We're still waiting for our ECU to come back from BS3. I'd love to see 4 weeks and its done.

I have had alot of help for guys like Shawn(Virginia Speed), Brian(Madman), and a few other guys that have really cut down on the cost in exchange for some business opportunities. Doing all the fab/build myself has been a great learning experience and I can make sure no corners are cut. My sled may not be on the same "cosmetic" level as some of the other cars in outlaw radial but we also have probably 1/2 of the dollars as normal guys and 1/6 of the "well off" racers but we run right with them.
