holy fkn turbo..looks like a very clean build..love the 'cage too. i am assuming the LCD monitor in place of your dash instrument panels does exactly that.. i was wondering wth the big bundle of cut wires was for... and those rear wheels are fkn sick!!!..and you said you had to narrow a 9".. what gears are you running? times in the 1320?

yeah its a digital dash that plugs right into the fast standalone and lets me monitor any parameter that the FAST sees.



it also has 120 min of typical Datalog time for 25 inputs at 10
samples/sec

The wires hanging down are unterminated ends of the dash harness they allow you to add in sensors for anything the FAST doesnt see. Fuel pressure, oil pressure, EGT whatever

no times in the 1/4 and its got 3.70's in it right now probably drop down to 3.2x or somewhere around there

I think it should be plenty. the intercooler core is actually like 8 inches back from the bumper openings so the air has plenty of room to get in and spread out. I also cut the bottom "flap" on the bumper off so air can get up in front the IC from underneath

Hey is the mini tub just for drag racing purposes? Or pretty much for anyone who wants to fit wider rims? Or is the cost to do it too much just to fit bigger street rims?

haha I cant believe it was for sale as long as it was. i watched it start at like 8k and ended up finally going to look at it when it was down to 3500. and i brought it home for less than that. The LTX should be fun suprising people, i mean how fast could it be its just a lt1

I like the look of that deep dish on the rear . How many inches was the rear shortened ?
