welll... if we take it as "car enthusiasts" then you will let us in on the specs. Unless this guy just wants to "hustle" people (Which I doubt will happen) you can just tell everyone what is in the car.


If that does happen, and it runs a legitimate time at the track, it will get many props from the people here.

Honestly I think you have your hands full trying to beat that record.. Those heads do not flow near enough for what you are trying to do but I think if you went with an auto you would have a better chance. Get a better set of heads, 2 stage kit, or more compression or all of the above.
Good luck with your build!

ever tried a progressive setup with a 6-speed? They don't work that great since you have to physically shift to 2nd pretty much instantly after launching. You are better off with a 2-stage kit, smaller shot for 1st, bigger shot for 2nd-4th.

You need to make a video when it's done. Sounds good. Good luck.
