Nice

Curious how much time you have in making the dash? How is it supported? I am thinking about making an aluminum one for my car.

It took a couple of hours. Its going to be supported by little braces that we will make and they will be held to them with nuts and bolts.

No news on Dyno numbers as of yet. But in about a week there will be. We have a race next weekend and were kinda shutting down shop next week to get her all ready. So no worries, more updates to come shortly.

Super nice car and setup. Maybe I'll be able to do something like that one day. I like how the turbo sits up front like that. I bet it spools like a frieghtliner

Its a Air to Water Intercooler . it uses water for the cooling instead of air . Good for drag cars because you can run Ice water and get your Intake temps below ambient temp.

It is true that 42R cars are everywhere, and more are coming, but I think mine is a little less run of the mill then the good old top mount or bottom mount manifold set ups.

You can say that again!

Doesn't take much to notice the hours put into the design and build of the exh manifold and the rest of the car for that matter........

Patiently awaiting more info on how your car performs
