1998 Formula Original V8 6 speed

Paint and body is very nice, has a few scuffs here and there.

This is a race car .
Full certified cage (fresh cert last year, good for a few more years)
Window net, 5 point belts.
Has single front seat, light weight black carpet and car is very light, weighs 2850 without me in it.
Subframe connectors and out riggers welded in the floors for bracing to support cage and flex.
Cage and suspension was all set up by MADMAN.
Full Autometer gauge set up inside the car, does not have the stock cluster anymore, a panel houses to gauges now.

Front suspension is all BMR, tubular everything, has power steering still also.
QA1 coil over’s in the front
Aerospace drag brakes
RaceCraft bump steer kit
Front end travel limiters
Extended race studs

Rear suspension is all Madman parts, Solid adj lower control arms, big stuff heavy duty everything.
Madman adj torque arm, 60 ft's 1.29 consistent
Blingsley 9" housing with bracing and anti roll bar.
Strange center section, alum pinion support with spool and 35 spline, star flange axles.
3.89 race gears
5/8 race studs
Narrowed rear , aerospace rear brakes.

Transmission is a TCI pro built glide originally built for 2000hp, Set up with a dedenbaer case. Deep alum pan, Transbrake
Coan custom nitrous converter, made to flash great on motor but lock up on the 300 hit of NOS on the hit.

BIG STUFF 3 with INTERNAL Data logging.
This is a standalone set up

NOS fogger set up
NANO Nitrous set up also

Rear mount battery with all big high quality cables and cut off switch.

Engine:
6.0 370 cube Iron block professionally built by BES race engines Tony Bishoff
Stock crank
13:1 custom nitrous pistons
Eagle rods.
Custom nitrous cam
Double roller chain, meling oil pump
ASP balancer, Katech belt tensioner
HEADS are old 243 castings that have been worked originally by Lingenfelter, they have had more work done to them since and have ferra valves in them now to handle heat.
Heads are completely gone through within the last 4 passes on this car.
As was the engine torn down for inspection and completely rebuilt. This was not due to breakage but a good measure for a race car at the end of a season.

FAST 92mm, 92 mm TB set up.
Intake is hard line plumbed with the NOS fogger nozzles. This set up is very clean and works great
Spraying 300 off the 2 step and transbrake
Mororso alum oil pan, remote oil filter block by CV products with 12 an line
Moroso alum valve covers
Comp 1.7 adjustable rockers.
Meizere electric water pump
Fast fuel rails
TWIN in tank pump set up

NEW PARSTARE AS FOLLOWS. installed a standalone fuel system with now using a200 HP plate kit behind the trhottle body . I have not used this yet. IM SURE THE CAR WILL GO 8.50'S with that tuned in .



WHEELS are WELD alumastars front and rear powder coated black, the front tires are Mickey Thompson drag tires as are the rear with 28-10.50-15, rear tires have 4 passes on

I’m sure I missed something this car is a very nice race car , it is set up to light up the bulbs , 2 step it and hold the transbrake with it flat footed to the floor and hold on .
Very simple to drive, easy 1.29 60ft about every time depending on the track, wheels up and flying. Doesn’t go on the bumper but carries the wheels real nice and far.
BEST ET has been a 9.17 @ 147
Consistent 9.25 about every time. From 146-148 mph.
With the new converter in it I am 100% sure it would go an 8.80-8.90 on the first pass with a capable driver.

I’m not in a money crunch to sell this car but thought about some other options. I have a lot of money in this car and will not give it away in this down economy. If it doesn’t sell I’ll be racing it .
I would maybe do some trades but there gonna have to be something I have to have. Email me with trade options or a cash offer.
I am asking $25,000 many more pics I can get for anyone interested.
