The stall and wheels are going to impress. Really eager to see the finished product. I see 1.6s in your near future.
haha, it'd be karma. as for 60' we will have to wait and see, this converter will allow me spray off the line which is something i really wanted from the beginning.

I bet the converter and gears will cut an easy half second off the cars normal times. That looks like a real high quality piece! What's the final number you come up with for the nitrous? I left the line on a 200 shot with the old 5.0 and it's was a violent and hard to plant the power. Blew off the tires a couple of times before I got a clean pass.

Well, with the NX setup I was shooting for a 100 shot being that they rate at the wheels. I'll have to get with n20 outlet but essentially I'm shooting for or around 400hp/mid to upper 400s for tq. I'll start low with the jets and we will work our way up to where I want it to be. I've got a pretty awesome rear suspension setup so I think I can make it hook, especially since I'll be running a 15" wheel out back and will actually have some sidewall and a better tire all around. No idea what it will end up running honestly, changing a bunch of stuff.

That thing is slowly turning into a race car. You'll have a roll bar welded in before you know it. Wheels look good. What manufacturer?

I know, sadly I've even considered the roll bar if I get hassled lol..... the wheels are race star industries drag stars. Pretty cheap but I know a guy running them on the street all last season and hasn't bent one yet so hopefully I have the same luck if im careful where I drive when they are on.

Looks good, but traction is going to be a b!tch with that set up!


Actually they do look good, and what tires are you going with? I'd like to change my front skinnies this year and get the taller skinny that Mickey Thompson has now rather than the shorter one I have currently.

I would think with 15s out back traction would be much improved.
