It should be a beast.
If it doesn't go high 7's or low 8's then something is wrong.

All I can say is that's one legit build. I can't wait to see what kind of ET's you put down in that tin can of a car.

Nice looking build but I don't see 7's as posted above on a 250 shot. Also curious what n2o jet is that? I had a hard time with QA1 shocks on my 85LX SBF w/spray hooking consistently. My DA Afco on my 4th gen are head and shoulders above imo.

We will be running mostly 1/8 mile being as thats all we have besides z max and rockingham which we may try eventually...but we are looking for mid 5s in the 1/8th anything close will be great considering pump gas...but car is mainly set up to run on spray as you cant really have the best of both worlds with a stall without compromising a little of each...but ot should still run decent on motor

If it makes around 550rwhp thru the TH350 Ill be happy...theres a few people who think it may make close to 575-600rwhp range but like I said anything over 550 will be considered a bonus to me so I guess we will see plus its still using an 8.8 with 33 splined abd narrowed so that will help also...Ill post up once we dyno it...the stall should help its a 4500 on motor and flashes 5500-5600 on spray according to Lenny...

I'm in for updates too. I'm very curious to see what this thing runs in the 1/8th and 1/4 mile. It would be a bonus if you have videos of the passes too.

This sounds sick. I would love to do a build like this on my Fox. But I think she's staying on the sbf platform. I'd like to see some pictures of the Fox

In for track results!!! Should go 5 for sure. I like how you dont get your hopes up. I do the same. Think realistic and anything extra is a bonus!!
