Shop car almost done Took the Red Rocket back to make an extreme street/track car on a somewhat budget.Working on it mostly saturdays for almost a year we have it running. Will pick away at it till next spring when the track opens up again.
Basic run down
10 point cage with net/ parachute from Halls custom
427ci resleeved LS2 from Shawn at Virginia speed
TEA/TFS 235 heads with upgraded springs/valve from Total Engine Airflow
Comp cam, speced by us
FIC 127lb injectors - idle perfect at 800rpm
T400 fully built from RPM Transmission
Converter from Yank
Midwest Chassis rear package with 35 spline and 3.00 gear
AFCO coil overs, strange brakes
BMR front end package
88m Turbo from Forced induction
All piping done inhouse- testing out our new Tig welder
Here are some build pics, have a ton of them

Some finished,so far. Also the dyno graph from seating the motor and driveline. Only ran 9lbs of boost on straight 93 octain for now. Will be turned up to 15/16lbs this winter.
Special thanks to

Someone always pics out the old altinator. Lol. It will be replaced.
It's a budget to us because we did all the labor. I'm hoping it pulls of easy 8.5's on pump gas/ methanol and has no issues next year. Reliable 8.5 car that easily drives on the street.
Next year I might upgrade the cage to a 25.5.
