Jackson, TN dragstrip is about to start the exact program though.

There were some pics
Have you seen the new 1/4 track they are building in west point? Will be good to have one so close home. Fulton is a horrible track, I cant stand going there anymore..

422 Makes me wish I had gone bigger.. Oh well its not that hard to pull out and sell. Once I get it back in..

Cant wait untill I get a shot at one of the gt500's.. I'v seen several around while my motor is down but.... Seems like thats always when you see them and cant find them any other time.

Its not super fast like a front mount but from a dead stop if I punch it It feels like no2 of the line then hold on to your drawers! Bigger is not always better I wish I had more controll of tq its like I a freight train I like the pull but its barlery controllable

You spool much faster then I do. I get full boost at 3800 without my pipes being wrapped. What A/R are you running on the compressor side?

Those are all pretty sick. I can't wait until my engine gets finished. Then i'm going to race it until I break the tranny. Hopefully, I'll make it worthwhile and get some good vids for you guys.

Everytime I try to take videos of me whooping my friends FI (domestic) cars, the damn camera always dies!!
Since I wrapped the exhaust, I had to have picked up 30+hp/tq. Plus, I boost a lot sooner. If I've been boosting at all or just spooling up the turbo, then downshift and wait to race...the car just takes off like a bat out of hell (literally no lag at all!). I'm referred to as "a beast" among my non-ls1 friends.
