I'm going to update this thread with pictures as the car progresses.
Goal: 9.60's reliably. the car will spend most of its time at the drag strip. But, I am not doing anything so extreme that I cannot drive it on the street, or take it to the local roadcourses. With that in mind, I am keeping the stock IRS. I am going to run ET Streets, or the new MT drag radial (they are actually outperforming the et street)
Ok, so here is what I am doing right now
-TEC built Twin Turbo's. I've been asked to keep the specs disclosed so don't ask
-Custom manifold with dual TiAL 40mm wastegates.
-6 Point cage NHRA legal to 8.50's
I will run the PowerFC for now, 850/1600 injectors with dual walbro pumps.
As soon as the fabrication is complete I am pulling out the motor and race porting it. It will be a copy of the motor in demetrious's drag car (minus the whole Alch thing)
Intake manifold will be left stock at the molment. A sheetmetal intake mani is in the works, but i cannot afford this at the molment. Mabye by the season? Doubtful though.
Trans Will be a Jerico DR-4 dog box. 4speed, straight cut gears, no BS. jerico is building my tranny right now, should be done in "3 to 5 weeks." The shifter will not fit the stock location. It is the same lenght back as the stock shifter but will sit on the drivers side of the console. A hole will have to be cut and a peice of tinning will cover it back up. I already have the adapter kit, driveshaft and 3 clutches. I am going to run the ACT xtreme PP and sintered Iron Disc.
Rear end is a TII unit with stock axles (again the budget is coming into play)
I'm still running Van's Feed IC, but the endtanks are modified for use of 3 inch pipes.
There might be a NX wet Kit to help these turbos spool. It depends on the deal I can get, and if the car really needs it.
I think that is everything I am changing.
It's going to be one hell of a car. Power output should be way above 500rwhp at 15lbs, and there is PLENTY of room to go up!
