I'll take some better engine bay pics soon.

Here is the dyno sheet of 9psi on reg 93 octain compared to 19psi 93octain/methenol. Got alot more tuning to do on the whole boost range but the tires were balling up on us causing the tires to spin. We have a few months before the track opens.

Yeah that looks nice. What material is that driveshaft? Is it carbon fiber or aluminum with a woven cover? Also, did a driveshaft let go at one point in the cars life? Just noticed the floor pans looked a little hammered.

The block is 4 bolt. Tea just gave us 6 boot heads incase.
Floor has been hammered for clearances ect.
It's a carbon shaft.

Car is built for some fun track time and cruise nights. We have no doubt it will go under 8.5's first day out. Next step is if we are going to upgrade the cage.

Wheels are billet specialties. Nice and cheap but seam strong.

Altinator was junk laying around the shop. Just hasn't been top priority to replace yet.

We still need to hardline all the vacuum lines,polish the aluminum,ty up wiring ect. Big thing was to lay into the motor/driveline and make sure it's all good which it is.

What is the dump on the down pipe in the engine bay for? Fender exit cut-out for the track and then run the down pipe out the back through a muffler for the street?

Looks bad *** Don, great fab work!

yes,it's for the track(electric cutout). I might still just make a 5" pipe straight out there and just swap it for the track which will drop some weight.
