Default 4.8+ GT45 on notchback

starting my 4.8 build on my notch back.
process will be slow but will get done eventually.

here is what i have so far

my GTO has a gen 4 4.8 with 799 heads and a ls9 cam with good valve springs/pushrods. this will be going into the notch.
my GTO went 10.75 at 135mph at 4000lbs race weight with a 1.80 60ft on 17psi.

hopefully i can push this setup into the 9s with the same power.



8.8 rear







15x4 fronts
15x8 rears











fuel cell and th400

I really like the look of a Fox notch with slicks and skinnies.
