W2W, STENOD, LMR, MADMAN, Pick one and send them a car with a check for 75k and they will build you what you want....

You should know that currently the fastest LSX based drag radial car is running 7.80's... deep into the 7's is still uncharted territory.

You can find this info all over the site already...from your post, it looks like you can use all the knowledge you can get.

Deep into the 7's? Better buy two LSx engines then...

ha ha. I laugh at the $75K comment

Ya better cut a check closer to $100-125K.......
esp if there doing all the labor

I see close to $20K for the motor
$10K for the turbo kit
$4500 for dry sump
$3K rearend
$4K trans
$3K converter
$7500 cage if not more for 25.2
BS3 $2500
Suspension $5K+
brake $1800
fuel system $4K+
labor $20K if not more
plus wheels, wiring, cutting fabricating and what not
plus all the money spent on fuel and track time tonget the suspension dialed in

It adds up fast.....
I'm sure I missed alot.

if you said that the price for my 25.5 roller was out of your budget, i think you may want to reconsider building a different kind of project. its not cheap to go fast and safe.

I am sure thats what u have in your roller but that dont mean you didnt pay too much for your stuff and the work you had done. I got 2 quotes from 2 diffrent chassis builders and they were both wayyy cheaper than the $19,000 you were looking to get. I didnt see your car on here or racing junk anymore did you sell it or decide to finish it? either way good luck it is a nice car.
