As soon as you get back we can line them up. That's about the only time I would have a chance.

Dont forget about Lt.Dan's Turbo car!!!! He said the other night he's getting some special pistons that are going to allow him to make well over 500rwhp and walk you on the big end!

Exactly. I think I could push mine faster than fireball can push his right now since Mine has no Drivetrain in it.

Yep Zturd is gonna widdle some pistons out of wood for me. The fact that they will burn up while the engine is running will help make some extra power on the big end

This couldn't have been a cheaper paint job. It's made by 5 star and called hot rod black primer. It's a laquer base so the only other thing to buy was laquer thinner for a reducer. Total cost was under $100 and I sprayed it. Not the best job but it will do for a race car.

Either you pull your car with the golf cart and have both chutes open or I can pull my car with mikep's litttle viper ATV. and you can use the golf cart.

Really like the stance of that car. Only question that remains is how will it live up on the track, Look forward to seeing some time slips on it.

Its already been 9.13@152 but I'm sure Chad will get it into the 8's this season.

We have alot we can do as far as the tune. There is a ton of timing we can put back in it. Still more boost to add too. I'm either gonna run 8's or blow the damn thing up......Then I start the x275 build.

I think it will go 8.80's with just seat time and a better tune. A little more boost and it might go 8.50's. I would like to bump the 2 step back up if we can keep the front end down. That 1.30 60' on the back tires would have been a 8.90 pass if you didn't have to let out.
