Dropped the car off at Big Wood Racing in Benson, NC.
Got the TechCo Watts Link and BMR A-arms installed.

Congrats, what are your plans for the engine? I see a house full of parts but can't make out the specifics.

Looks as if he's in search of 400 RWHP...N/A!!!!! I have a buddy who just got a new dyno tune and is putting down about 410 RWHP all N/A!!!!! He's waiting until Nov 2nd to advertise his true numbers!
Good luck with build and enjoy it once it's done.
