That's mighty ambitious. I'm surprised I haven't broken my car yet, and I only just got into the 13's.

mid to low 12s. Haven't finished putting the motor together yet, so that might be way ambitious if I don't make the power!



4.77 gears should be in the mail today!

I use reliable in a very loose way.



That was the whole point of doing twin turbos, they will flow tons of air at low boost, the reason for buying the trans, etc...



Hell if it will go out and run 10's i will be happy...

It better run 10s! Let's not get too humble here. That car ought to be a beast and a half.



By when are you actually going to put rubber on the track? Be sure to let us know when you will grace 75-80 so we can check it out.

Don't get me wrong Bobby. I am not trying to say how fast the car will or wont be or anything. I just know that 9 second cars break parts often. I am sure that any one with a 9 second car would agree, but hey there is a first for everything. Good luck, you have your work cut out for you.

Yeah, I'm not dumb.



Breaking things is part of the game with drag racing.



Will it run a 9? i donno yet. Will it run consistantly? i donno. Do I have the skill to pilot the thing? i guess we will just have to wait and see what it does.



Tom, it all depends on when the trans gets in. They have been giving me the run around for a month now on when they are going to assemble/ship the thing. Pretty damn annoying...



Trust me, you will know when she is complete
