Sounds pretty nasty....what sort of ET are you aiming for in this beast?

Congrats! It's always a rush to hear it run for the first time!

I hope it at least runs 12s


don't want to get my hopes up to high...I do have a goal in mind but need to get the bugs out of it before I really start leaning on it to see if its capable of doing what I built it to do

this car is a "street" car...it will have tags/inspection/etc etc....couldn't make the black car street legal anymore so stuffed the go fast goodies in a different body.

The black car is going under the knife for some much needed chassis upgrades...might move everything back and try for 8s

Question

Did you have to run a small base circle cam with your 396 set up? Care to share the actual cam specs? Also, what rods and pistons did you use?
