After seeing all the dollars my friend was spending in the never ending cycle of land speed racing, I decided to take a step back for a while and build a vehicle that if I wanted to some day could be finished for racing if I get that itch again, or just satisfy my need for speed now. I built this my way and pretty much went at it and crossed each hurdle as they came. No real plan going in other than an end goal of 800-1000hp and a rat rod with a 4G6x motor in it. I pretty much don't care what anyone thinks and hate everyone equally, so no ones opinions will even matter. It came out the way it did, I like it, my friends and family do and that is that. It should bring miles of smiles for a long time to come.

And now here is my hacked up creation.

The transmission is manually shifted. It has a manual valve body in it. And no kick down. Does not get any more manual than that. And clutches i am no longer interested in. And we are drag racers and land speed racers. All we care about is top end and ultimate speed. The lag does not bother me nor will any of our cars ever have a compound setup. This entire engine is out of my old colt. Been running this hx52 for over four and a half years now.
 
Why an ignorant and irrelevant post? I stated clearly in the first post how it was going to be.
 
That thing is lookin sweet man! I'd love to see it in person sometime.
