You're from RI?

Any timeframe for making some passes at the track? Just curious what this thing would run? Any idea on what it weighs?

Nicely executed!!! That should stop short now.

I am hoping to do this by this time next year.

I don't know when I'll get it up there. I'd like to have my drivetrain completed first. I want atleast 400 streetable horsepower and maybe something like 500 on a race tune. So, I'm leaning towards a 347 or a 351/351 stroker. I like the extra cubes but I don't want such a cube monster that it slurps up my entire paycheck everyday. A nice driveable combo would be ideal. Then I'll aim for 12 second timeslips. I'll be happy. Right now, I think it would run about a 14.5-15 quarter. I like to be a realist. It feels about the same as a stock fox body. Definitely has more grunt and more pull, but it also shows it's weight and lack of aerodynamics above 60 mph. It's really a 0-70mph car right now. It doesn't feel safe to push after that. I have gone well over 100 in it before, and that's when the roof literally blew off. I've tried to get the car as low to the ground as possible to give it stability, but it's still not a sports car. When I get a set of 18's back on there it will feel a lot better, but it will also be slower due to the added mass.
