That looks absolutely BadAss!!! Sorry I could not be there to help. You know where I was. I will be there again today finishing up what I started yesterday. You will have to let me know when you get back in town so I can come help you get that Badboy on the road. Glad to see they finally got it put together for you.

Thanks guys! THere is still quite a bit of fab work to do - oil cooler, FMIC, gotta notch the hood for the elbow, connect the fuel system, etc. But at least now the engine is in place so I can figure all that stuff out. Gonna KILL ME to be out of town for the next 2 weeks....

I can only dream about my car being as fast as those 2....but IF it was, I might be able to challenge for fastest blower car on LS1tech*. KP = 8.92 @ 151....dream on sleigh-boy. I think it needs to run first.

*Disclaimer - I think Bob Bean (EPP) will wear that crown this year!

Maybe so... but my car is about as fast as a banana slug compared to yours.. LOL. Being the fastest one out there is surely a good thing, but hell... even just running 10s is badass.
