this car is very sweet, and he actually drives it on a daily basis- well 4 or so days a week. He has put a lot of time and money to get it to the point where it is now.

Tommy are you finally happy or do you want more? The car looked nasty taking off the line. So when you getting a cage?

its the spohn 1" solid sway bar. its not adjustable but its been working very good so far so no need to change it. it does kick a hair more to the right though-maybe one more click on that shock.

no cage for me until it becomes a race car if it ever does. i dont go to the track enough to justify it. i drive on the street so much if i ever got in an accident it could cause more body damage to me. just an odds thing imo.

again guys thanx for all the compliments! i spend a lot of time on this car its my hobby/ borderline obssesion. everything has been put on this car in either my garage or my buddys (his garage is waaay niver and has a lift. plus hes pretty knowledgable in case i get stumbled) at some point i will likely turn it into a race car and get crazy with it but its just my street toy for now.

and the clutch is a mcleod rxt. twin unsprung ceramic puck disc's. 26lb 2 peice steel flywheel (yea its heavy but my cars heavier ) between that clutch, 3" steel nitrous ready ds, and dana 60 rear its amazing this thing makes any power on a dyno.

beautiful car and obviously fantastic results at the track.

getting it dialed in will make it even that much quicker/faster. car is gorgeous, it's rare to see such a nice ride being beat on...keep it up!

Do you run a front sway bar on the car?

If so, do you disconnect it when at the track?

Thanks man
