The procharger kit I want is still short of a bow through carb and a fuel system that can support it.

I had to take some gears to the chassis shop for my rear end and this is what has been done so far. I'm pretty stoked!!

Really digging the build man, but I have to agree, Twin 76s can make 2000rwhp... No need for something that large, PT6766s or maybe a PT7175 would be sufficient.

Nothing is set in stone yet, so we will see what happens when we come to that part. I am focusing on the foundation first and we'll worry about the heart later.

Thank you! I'll keep them coming, I have never been good at keeping secrets!

This is similar to how it will sit when he's done.

Those back tires look like they are right on the fender well. Do the tires rub in that car?

He said they dont. They lowered the car for those pics a little more than where it actually sits but it is close to that. Here is a pic of his car completed.

I only wish, but then you get whiners if you run on the streets of Mexico if you have that much tire on a fox. Already whining about the weight of a fox.

I know a s10 can get light but these things are crazy from what some claim. A guy I know named Brian says 2250, no sub frame connectors, glass is all lexan. Arm bet here says his is 2350.
