    Slicks/skinnies offset question..

    I'm ordering a set of AR Track Star 2 piece wheels.. I've got 15x4's for the front with 1.5" of back-spacing. The rears are 15x10 with a 6" back-spacing. I will be running a 28x10.5" slick.. Does this sound right? Just wanting to double check my math before I order them. Travis

    Picked up my twin turbo kit today..

    This kit, with the bigger 67mm turbo's and larger piping was just shy of 8K from HP. I think you can get a twin 50mm kit, minus the suspension parts for around 5500.00

    Picked up my twin turbo kit today..

    This is actually a continuation of a long term project that I'm working on.. I'll be detailing the powertrain build up, as well as the install/tuning of the car. I suppose it could be moved to the Talk section..

    Picked up my twin turbo kit today..

    My 9K budget just went through the roof in the quest to build my track car.. lol.. I picked this up this evening.. 67mm compressor wheel with a T350 turbine in a .82 A/R T31 (T3 based) exhaust housing. Each of these will make roughly 650-700whp, so, that should put the rough...

    Project- 9's for 9K.. :)

    The stock clutch reared it's ugly head as the night wore on.. and I got adjusted to the new car. 2nd gear burnouts yielded some mid to high 1.7 60ft times.. but, the stock clutch wouldn't give me anything better than that. I suppose I can't complain.. 60K miles, and no telling how the previous...

    Project- 9's for 9K.. :)

    It will be a custom cage, built to NHRA spec. I'm not sure how it will pan out, but, it is being built by a local shop that's bad@ss, and does a lot of chassis/cage work. I know that he's using mild steel, and it'll have 10 contact points in the car. I've asked him to tie at least 4 points in...

    Headed to the strip in a few to see what the car will do before we rip it apart further. I'll have pics/videos up late this evening.. Travis

    AODE NOT STRONG ENOUGH!!!

    TH400 from JW Performance.. under 3K for a complete setup, with converter, bellhousing, flex plate and shifter. It'll handle 1000hp, no sweat.. and it'll most likely hold up better than any C4 you put behind your motor.

    Project- 9's for 9K.. :)

    Just about finished gutting the car today.. We rained out, so, I won't make it to the track until Saturday. The car is sitting on a pair of 27x10" MT's on 15"x10" AR wheels. The offset is a little goofy, but, they will work until my 2 piece forged Track Star's come in. I got a nice little...

    Project- 9's for 9K.. :)

    Going to finish gutting the car out today.. We're going to head to the drag strip one more time before we yank the powertrain out for the build. Gutted, with 27x10" MT slicks.. it should easily go mid to high 11's. We'll see.. :) Travis

    Project- 9's for 9K.. :)

    700whp and around 3300lbs will get me into the 9's. All easily attainable with the setup that I am building. Travis

    Project- 9's for 9K.. :)

    I think I've got a buyer for my Comps.. I'm probably going to go with MPH blower cams.

    romeo or windsor?

    Just to clarify.. the windsor's 8 bolt crank isn't forged like the Cobra crank.

    Project- 9's for 9K.. :)

    The car was getting old.. (2000 model), and at the time, I thought I was getting tired of it.. 3 months later, I found out that wasn't the case. ;)

    romeo or windsor?

    The windsor engines also have pistons with thicker top ring lands.. which makes them a little less prone to breakage under higher combustion pressures/temps.

    Project- 9's for 9K.. :)

    The novi powered car in my signature is gone.. I sold it to a fellow in Indiana 3 months ago. Here's an old pic.. I miss my old car.. The Novi 2000 is a badass blower!

    Project- 9's for 9K.. :)

    Oh yeah.. I forgot to mention the body panels. lol.. I felt bad for the guy that I bought it from. He recently got a DWI, and was forced to sell the car. He was asking 15K.. I offered him 12.. and he bit. Poor guy.. Travis
