Hey guys I figured I should post some info/pics over here for those of you that are not on Yellow Bullet. Here is a link to the FULL build thread:

http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=432473


The old car has served me well in the last two years running a best 1/4 ET of 8.47 a best 1/4 mph of 164.5 and a best 60 foot of 1.340 on the 275 radials. I drove the car a LOT putting roughly 3500-4000 kms on it this summer alone.It made over 1100 rwhp thanks to an FPS built 370" LS and twin Magnum 76mm turbos.

After this season ended and I had got the boot for only being legal to 8.50 I took a step back and realized I would not be happy slowing down so I decided I needed to either cut this car up to make it 7.50 legal or build another car...... I chose the latter


The basic plan for the car is as follows:

Car and Chassis

25.5 cert cage
Mini tubs
Full tube front frame rails forward of strut towers
Complete custom tin work inside
Custom dash insert with Holley 5.7" LCD touchscreen
Custom seat mounts for Kirkey race seats
Strip entire body to bare metal,repair any rust etc
Shave wiper cowl/gas door/antenna hole


Powertrain

FPS Built 438" LSX
World LS7X Heads
Jesel SHaft mount J2K Rockers
Beck Sheetmetal intake
Belt drive fuel pump
160lb injectors
Twin turbos (havent decided which ones yet)
PT2400 Intercooler / water to air trans cooler
Reid 1.80 straight cut powerglide
PTC custom converter
Holley HP ecu/coils
Racepak sportsman logger
Aeromotive Belt drive fuel pump
35 spline 9" 3.50 gears narrowed housing
Dynatech alluminum driveshaft


Suspension/brakes

Aerospace drag brakes front and rear
Lightweight manual master cylinder
Manual steering rack
Lightweight solid steering shaft
Team Z offset double adjustable lower control arms
Team Z Double adjustable upper control arms
Team Z spherical housing bushings
Team Z tubular K member/ A Arms
Strange 10 way adjustable front struts w/coil overs
Strange Double adjustable rear coil overs
