i'm looking for someone who'd be interested in a sponsorship program, i'm going to try and get this car into a few magazines, drag week is a possibility, and the car will have a TON of internet exposure. Really a great opportunity for a car dealership/speed shop. I've got every intention of making this a top-notch operation complete with nice uniforms, a magnetic graphics package for the car etc. I will be travelling to eddyville, IA; Topeka KS, KCIR, and Mid-America Motorplex on a regular basis.

The motor is an iron 6.0, with ARP Main/Head Studs, Crower rods, diamond -24cc custom pistons, stock crank, cometic gaskets, PP stage 3 truck heads, 230/221 115lsa cam and the carb'd intake with 96lb injectors, with a 90mm Wilson TB rounding things out.

4l80e built by Finish Line Transmission in Woodale, IL; Weldon Racing fuel system, GT47-88, TiAl WG/BOV, and BigStuff3 spec'd by Jeff at InductionMotorsports.com, lots more to come!

This chevelle is an original 42,000 mile car that went fairly consistent 9.90's @137-138mph with a 3850lb raceweight on a 10" tire with stock suspension; all motor BTW.

right now i need a set of billet fuel rails, a high-mount alternator kit (no alternator yet), later model PS pump, and a way to drive the stock speedo.

the turbo is rated to 1700hp, i'd say at 25lbs of boost i'd expect 1300-1500 rwhp but truthfully don't know what to expect.
