To make it fit I'd have to lose A/C and heat and I'm not prepared to do that, street car. If I get another car later down the road and try to make this more of a car that I don't take out downtown or something then I'd love to do it, otherwise I think the twins will suffice.

This is Stacy Barnett's TT GTS (met him at TX2K10, car has since been sold) on medium boost making ~1200RWHP:

My goal with a built motor in a year is about 1200-1500 to the wheels. That is if I keep the car that long. It seems the twins can get the job done, but I like the idea of a big single, less stuff to break/go wrong.

Think he just got bored of it. He brought it and his IS-F to TX2K10 for SW to take and sell.

Was his IS-F the turbo one there? Were you there in your Viper and if so what wheels were on it?

I like the fact that steve's car was still a 6 speed too. I only wish I could row gears to 8 second quarter mile times.

I did see you there. I towed a 28ft trailer with a friend's mark 2 in it. I was in a solid back Chevy dually that was bagged. His mark 2 broke the rear twice then popped the motor it sucked we didn't get but one run.

Haggled the crap out of it. Bought it from a dealer in Daytona, he was asking $37k, had it 30 days past his state deadline to pay taxes or something, left with the car after giving him a $30k check and that was it. Clean title, carfax, and 27k on it. From what I'm told I got a good deal, most BW cars go for $35-$40k.

You are the man I swear haha. You never are satisfied...but then again, neither am I. I just got done with the new setup and I'm already planning out the next "long" build...LS + boost. It'll be a 2 year process while I finish school...but it'll be a beast when finished.

Goodluck with the twins, I'm anxious to see it finished.

Not really an update per se, but I dropped the car off last night, ETA : 3-4 weeks. I'll get updated pictures throughout the process.

Haha, it never ends. I somehow found myself looking at rods/pistons and stroker kits this week and I haven't even got it done on the stock motor yet.

I've always loved your car, can't wait to see what's next!
