Side-Bar....Why only 42-lb injectors? Only planning on minimal boost? What type of fuel system are you going to run???

Thanks guys!

Mike - i got a good deal on a tremec t-5, the ones with the 2.95 first gear.. Its not my long term answer, but it will get me by a season or two hopefully. I didnt spend much more then what a stock t-5 would have cost so im happy with it. It is a FOX body tranny/bell though, so if youhave the d/s spacer still pm me cause ill buy it off ya..

The 42's will support my goals. Im looking for a max of 500-525 rwhp. The block will be my limitations, and i want it to be somewhat reliable, so i may keep it in the high 400's.. We'll see.. Im running stock lines and rails with 255 intank pump and 255 inline pump.. More then sufficient..

Thats where I am at right now with mine... I have a similar setup as far as fuel goes and boost wise. I am keeping mine right around 450HP to be on the safe side. Everything is forged except the crank and the block is stock. It's more of a toy than a racer than anything. Very nice set-up...Love the chrome....

PM sent. I love the lower(numerically) first gear of the TKO 600. It actually makes first gear somewhat usable!

That looks amazing!!!

One question though, looking at that second pic, is there enough clearance to make a left turn even with skinnies? Looks like the tire is very close to the turbo outlet tube, or is it just the angle of the pic?
