NASCAR cars make that much power and are extremely capable road racers even with a live axle.

It's all about setup.

I say do it.

Good luck...

Oops ha sorry read my thread this morning... was a bad morning

Sounds like youre going in the right direction...the car will not only get twisting from the engine but twisting when you shift weight around corners....As long as its a strong accelerator out of the corners. I wanted to do Drag racing.....Then Road racing started sounding alot more fun. You obviously know what fuel system you need to feed that. What Trans. are you running??? I think whats important is weight distribution....like setting the motor a few inches back on the k-member. I've also seen people rear mount their turbos.....not sure if this adds to lag.

But yeah sorry for this morning...i was having a crappy day....then the Caffeine kicked in.

the lag on rear mount is horrible, trans is going to be either a tko600 or t56viper spec not sure yet just trying to get everything planned out when the car is back togethor, im picking up a airco 200 amp welder today so i can make stuff like tunneling the trans bay and torque box stuff easier

If you go with a 5 speed, figure out which TKO comes with the .83 gear for 5th instead of the standard O/D.
