Well i figured i would go ahead and start a thread about this new project. As some of you know I recently purchased CDubs Red Rocket. First i want to thank Jesse for giving me the opportunity to buy this awesome car. The car is everything i was hoping for, and more. They are a great group of guys.
So onto some details that i have planned for the car. It is going to still be a track only drag car. Not setting a time limit on the project, its getting done right no matter what. There isn't going to be any crap or any settling for a part just so it gets done. First of all the part I know im going to get crap for. The car is going to be switched to a 5 speed. That is really the one main difference. Of course engine components are going to be different, but it WILL be an 8 second car again.
There are a couple people that i plan on working very close with for the project, and one of them is Fernando at Ostar Motorsports. Definitly one of the coolest and most honest people that iv had the pleasure of dealing with in the industy. So the majority of things will be coming from him, and I would definitly suggest that everybody go to him for anything you may need. Everything else is going to be done here in house at Pollo Performance.

So onto the parts list so far:
Bottom end:
- Filled block .20 over
- Custom 11.5:1 CP Pistons
- R&R aluminum rods
- Kiggly girdle
- L19 head studs
- ARP main studs

Head:
- Custom Headgames Motorworks Drag head

Intake:
-Magnus Motorsports Cast intake manifold
- Q45 throttle body

Fuel:
- Dual magnus fuel rails
- ID2200s x8

Electronics:
- AEM EMS v2
- Dynatek ARC-2
- Aem Uego WB02

Random:
- CNC staging break

Brakes:
-Strange rear brakes


Ill try to keep everybody updated as net things happen with the car. Im sorry if the updates come here and there. Im pretty busy with things, so the car doesnt get attention on a daily basis. Sorry for the long read. And in the second picture, yes that is the shifter.

Nice to see this car being worked on. When I was talking to Nick at the shootout and when told me Jesse was selling his car I was like WTF?

Congrats on getting the car, one of my favorite DSM's there is.
 
Nice grab! What is jesse got in mind now? And is black twin car still running times?
 
Last I heard this car was going to be RWD converted! Glad to hear/see its staying with the AWD platform and cant wait to see what you can do with this car!

O yea its staying AWD. The thought of goin RWD crossed my mind, but awd is where its at.

The clutch and trans you need is for sale in the classifieds right now. It's only a 10k combo tho LOL.

Also, can you post some pictures of the rear suspension.

Im getting a PPG dogbox. They made us one for our shop car that has special treated gears that are a little stronger then the standard. And for the clutch, in going with a Tilton carbon/carbon. Thats probably gonna be the last thing i get, unless I find a good deal on each. I plan on stopping by the PPG booth when we go to PRI, so we'll see what happens.
