I'd never tap a fat chick in a thong

Good work on the van though, would catch a lot of people off guard.

I think this may use the same drivetrain parts as my SS Silverado. Mine made 850hp on engine dyno, then 603 at 4 wheels on the chassis roll with same tune. 603 was good for 11.4X at the track at 5500 pounds, although it only ran 117mph.
The van is cool, probably breaks some hearts at the track.

It's making around 550-600 AWHP (depending on race weight 6000 - 6500lbs) on a stock 5.3 short block. Wonder what the drive train loss is on it.

Kurt, your right. Infact it all started when I had a ss silverado in the shop for work. The front diff is smaller (from the syclone) but most of the van is chevy truck. We havnt broken anything yet.......and hopefully wont since the goal was high 12's, its done. It probably wont even get raced all that much anymore. We did the 4l80e conversion for reliability and rossler builds a kick *** trans. The onlly thing thats weak is the turned down output shaft. When we did the 4l80 the new transfer case input wasnt out so the only way to do was with the turned down output. If it breaks, then well obviously switch.

I m just about to ship my 4l80e for my conversion van out, and Ill be useing the new transfer case input instead. I think I may get a trans break too, but that might hurt some things.
