ARP L19s installed along with FELPRO MLS Permatorque HG. I know the car won't be running in time for this years meets but I think I will have her in the car which will make it worth towing to meets. Fingers crossed.

I have been reading up and down your blogs and i can never find how much hp you are planning to run. I persinally would like to know for when I build an engine (but im not wanting a 9 second car, too many tickets)
The engine looks freeken fantastic! very nice

That's because it has always been about the et not the power. He'll i think everyone has it wrong in the dsm world because i went to.the panams this weekend and a slow car ran 9s and almost all the cars had less power than the dsms you see running 9s. We should be figuring out how to lose weight better not make more power.

 

[Billiam]

Very good point, you are so right and our cars are surprisingly heavy, are you going to get carbonfiber or fiberglass doors, fenders, hatch etc to keep the weight down? What kind of suspension are you going/running to get the power to the ground?

Weight reduction ill worry about once she's together but it is def on the to do list. Suspension will be ksport custom spring rate coilovers.
