Looks great I like the down pipe. You will like the S-10 a lot, they are very easy to get down the track with.

Looks very familiar to our build from last winter! Turbo on the other side to help side/side weight and some other things that are a little different here and there but same style build! www.photobucket.com/flpracing for some pics...

Oh and to that traction comment... Went 1.29 60' on Drag Radials (See Avatar)

A set of caltracs and split-leafs will be your friend!

Oh btw, we have a set of tubular upper control arms from Speedway we'd sell, and the billet specialties wheels you'll see in the build photos as well.

Yeah, maybe if you are into fireturds.

I didnt know but the old tubular control arms were sold already. We do have the aerospace front brakes and the billet specialties wheels though still for sure, and belltech drop spindles. We'll be coming to memphis pretty soon too so we can deliver
