Default Finally picked it up...
Shitty cell phone pics from the ride home last night.




I love this thing, after thrashing on it last night I don't know why I didn't buy one of these years ago.

This weekend I'll throw on the 2.76 pulley, tensioner, Bassani ORX, and a set of M/T Radials, it already has a Borla cat back and JLT intake. I also need to get rid of the ugly front plate bracket and give it a good wax.

Ives seen a bunch at atco. seems mid 11s is the max for the indy rear. solid swap and skys the limit. They love a small 50-75 hit to take the heat out.

Those things are quick. Ported blowers have run some good numbers but then fall on their face usually after repeated runs because of heatsoak.. The first thing I would do is a new pully a heat exchanger and a 50 shot.
