Possibly making a haul to Shakedown later this fall? If this thing REALLY flies, it would have a chance.

cool. now you won't be rushed to make the runs (not sure if you were anyways). Can't wait to here what your car is capable of doing with the new combo. I hope the mods to the block work out in your favor. It will be awesome if you have a car that runs low 7's like a bracket car

Got a bunch of little **** buttoned up this morning. Scaled the car yesterday, came out to 3230# with ~100# of ballast in the car, front came out alittle heavier than I had expected but Brian(Madman) says it will be fine cause we'll need to add weight anyways. Friday we'll head out and try to dial in the A/F before we take any big shots. Trailer is here getting loaded tomorrow.

Read your VERY first post, "gonna use a 6.0 iron block for a fun street/track car with a 96MM turbo......target weight 2800 LBS"


You think your combo changed much since?
