Thanks guys!!
I am really excited to get everything together as you can imagine.
Brian from ARE is doing the whole engine buildup and is very meticulous and sharp. I am looking forward to see the final combo together
Goal is 10.60's-10.80s@127-129mph on slicks at 3400-3500 pounds
Low 11's@126mph plus on a DOT legal street tire
I'd love to hit 3200 pounds raceweight but it is going to take $$$.

Car update!!!
Motor is in the car (waiting on pushrods)
BMR Extreme Torque arm/subs are in
Fuel pump (Racetronix 340 with harness) is in
headers are on
Exhaust (Off road Ypipe with dual cutouts) gets made tomorrow and then it is going on the dyno
I'll keep you posted I should be picking up the car tomorrow night. If all goes well I am going to break it in all week and hit the track on Saturday or Sunday for a few shakedown passes
Can't wait to hear the dyno numbers!!
