With someone who knows what they're doing, the stock shortblock will handle 250hp of nitrous for a long time.
Good luck getting your car to 2500lb race weight.
good to know. Also shouldn't be too hard to get to that weight, the car weighs like 2800-2900 stock. Its not a mustang...

Yup, thats me. I also found out that bone stock they only weigh about 2700#. I have gotten rid of a few things so i figure it is down to about 2600 or so. the SBF/tranny is said to only outweigh the rotory by liek 50#. getting rid of the A/C, air pump and getting some brackets and pulleys from Mach should have dropped that already. So i should be back to stock weight engine/tranny wise.

Hooking shouldn't be TOO horrible. It has a independant LSD (Turbo II)rearend. and will have 17X10.5 Cobra R rims out back with 17X8 Cobra R's up fornt. Most likely going to run M/T ET drag radials. Looking for high 10's low 11's. which should take about 400RWHP. I may actualy go down to a 15" rim if i can find some decent looking ones.

The car is all white, with a body kit and tinted windows, so the rims should REALLY set it off!
this isnt my car, but the same kit, with tinted windows adn blackish rims, mine will look a little better:

Well, i just did the trade for the nitrous kit in the first post. Only going to run a 125 until i get me 347 built. Should be a learning experience as i have never even seen nitrous here,let alone driven with it.

im not a fan of the import cars but that car seems like it will earn alot of respect. it will be kool to hear a car like that with a deep loud rumble at idle and a monsterous scream at wot! instead of that annoying buzzing sound fart cans make! makes me want to swat them like flies!
