No problem, and if your freaked out and think the chute will pull the bar out you can also weld extra bars to tie into the roll cage.
See I wasn't but now looking at it I kinda am lol. You passed tech though it couldn't be that unsafe. I think if find a way to secure it to the frame or cage somewhere centralized it would be safer but your not just relying on the chute to stop you it's just a aid. Especially with a gutted track car with just the basics I think this will do.
Yeah but they mounted my cage to the trunk floor not to the strut towers like you see a lot. I'm not worried about it right now I need to build the motor to make 150mph power before I worry about that.
I've already got my eagle rods and wiseco pistons in my block . Chop, chop!!!
My rods alone will cost as much as that combo though j/k
Trust me it is def at the top of the to do list now. I have been part of a group buy that would save me almost $200 on rods too on the link forums that I was waiting for and it only needs one more person so timing on that is like perfect. I just needs the rods my weisco 1400 pistons and l19's and I can finish my short block which will be a huge step because once that goes in everything will make it's way into the shell. Wiring will be this weekend or next.
Hey Carver or Jay hit me up let me know if either one of you guys can come over to the car give me a hand with the wiring harness. Mechanical I am pretty sure about wiring is not my forte that's why I get PnP stuff lol
Got the JHRacing Fmic kit I originally wanted to run and I'm glad that I did because now the only piece that I have to modify is the flange where the hotside pipe connects to the turbo. It's setup for a GT42R outlet the Hx52 even though similar in power potential and size has a smaller outlet. But I think this is a big step and it looks badass on the car Even though she was cold I got the gf to help out
only a 67mm inducer i thought it was gonna be 72mm or 74mm inducer for sure my gt40r is a 67mm ind.
Yeah but it flows better than it's garret counterparts. This turbo is flow rated to 96lbs/min so it has 900whp in it with the right tune. Not to mention since I have been educated on where I can buy E85 close to me for like 1.85 a gallon right now I will be running 10:1 compression and running solely that so I think this car should be pretty lively to say the least. The group buy for the aluminum rods is about to happen and so the shortblock will come together and then that's when things will take off. Stay tuned
I'm working on a big project too hopin for 8s on the auto.
I feel your pain bro, its a big deal. I'm closing in on the final tid bits but looking back where you are you still got a lot of big dollar parts to pick up. I wish you the best bro. These cars are a disease.. Always neat to see another African American builder.

Thanks and good luck with yoru build man. Yeah it's good to see all different types of people modding dsm's and I'm def not the typical guy you would think would be on here all the time and modding a car like this.
Yes im addicted to these things they break money or not shes getting fixed, within the year even as i write, love the build, and its great to see AFrican Americans into the hobby, its kinda rare from what ive seen.

I want one of those, great work, any eta on that thing being finished?
Hard to tell. The build makes leaps and bounds. Like I said from the gate the only date it HAS TO BE DONE is the shootout. I"m not cutting corners or compromising to finish early for any event. Realistically 3 months. I will have most of the little stuff rapped up soon and then it will just be a matter of saving up money for the trans the rest of the engine parts and this DS and tcase I really want. My second job just gave me a significant raise so it may go faster than I thought. In a nut shell how fast I can save up 7-8k will determine how fast she gets done. If I had a credit card I would be done in less than a month lol.
Yeah, you have about $10K plus worth of stuff left to pick up, and that's finding a lot of it on sale or on the forums. I remember how hard it was to get where I am. I wish you the best bro.
I refuse to build a car on credit, but with that sort of a time frame wowee options become limited..
. Chop, chop!!!
j/k
Good build man what happened to the 420a? AM i gonna be the lone ranger.
