Nice Don!

I didn't think there were too many cars going that fast with torque arm setups. It is pretty dang stout though. The fabrication looks mint.

A few people are running 7's with torque arms It's the rest of the setup that count's.We didn't just throw in a legal cage,the shop made sure the cage strengthened the chassis so the car will go straight. I've seen a few 25.5's lately that just past the rule but the cars will twist like a pretzel when they hook decent power.

Now those are some subframe connectors.

If you leave it NBM, it'll be fast.

I've had a ton in mind. Since I need to wait a year to finish this I'm looking at how people do with the LSX block. Right now I'm thinking 427 or 454ci with a big single,definitely a glide. Well,I've looked at the Warhawk 481ci too
