Almost Ready
Almost Ready We are very close to running our Blue Beast with the new setup. We have made a lot of changes to the car since it ran the 12.02 @ 111 on a 1.57 60' at Famoso. This weekend, we will return to Famoso to test out the added parts. I just need to install the Simpson 6-point harness, the B&M Trans Shield and an oil change. Jenibella took it out on the street today to warm it up so I can check the fluids and look for possible leaks. The car really screams and pulls very hard. Everything checked out. For a list of the specifications, go to her website!
I would like to thank all of those that have made it possible to get to this point:
Chad of Tire Pros for figuring out the last minute details to run this car down the track safely
Jim of (ex)LeToy Motorsports for helping us to get the car running right and tuning some minor issues with the car
Ken from HPTuners for programming software support
The staff at BMR for providing me the parts I needed when I needed them
We will be taking it out to Irwindale Dragway this Thursday 11/2 for some initial shakedown passes. Please come by and check it out!

We were already at 3080# with just the interior gone (less door panels and driver's seat), we have since added an aluminim kirky seat and removed all the dash support, ABS, power steering pump and rack, power brake booster, crash supports, plus your hood, as well as any extra stuff and wiring not needed. It should be well below 3000# now. 
HP, we'll see when it is finally tuned.
