I have owned this car since 1980, I was 16. I have spent a lifetime building it. I have spent a ton of money over the years, over 30K just on the R3 engine build and install. The drive line and suspension is very custom built, Coil over front and rear, custom built chrome Molly K member Rack and...

My best 1/8 mile keeping in mind this is at a little airport with little traction other than launch 60’foot 1.39 1/8 ml 6.34 at 109.8 mph

I would not say it is critical someone else on here has mentioned why over build your car but I have learned the hard way many times over, under building things just causes destruction I’ve been building this car since I was 16 and I am now 55 and I haven’t had to spend a dime on repairing...

So yes it is fuel pressure and nitrous pressure the fuel pressure is operable and was sitting steady at 6 PSI the nitrous well I don’t even use it kind of crazy to on the street and haven’t had the opportunity yet to run it at the track car runs high nines engine only and still having traction...

For me it is a # of things, mainly its the extra room for my custom headers,exhaust and the simplicity of tranny, starter Re, and Re, for my racing clutch,as well as going two front steer just opens up the hole area for rear sump and kick out oil pan ect. Very little of it was to do with the...

I here ya, your design is very cool, I look forward to seeing your finished product.

I built a tube front end last year and had many people wanting my planes for the build( never made any ) I just winged it, it was a one time deal, but works very well. I was just thinking for your next project you might want to look at something like this. just an idea. here is a link to some...

Do you mind sharing a little more info, that's impressive #s for W2 unported. 1.36 x 137 = mid 9s ? is that motor only.

Ya you can't pull very long in third gear you just get going to fast for the street, 100 + mph in sec,s, I am a lot more use to it now, and a little more daring, but ho needs to loose there car to the in pound.:banghead:

Ya it is that, thanks for the coments it is a blast to drive, I was looking for more power but I never expected this much, nor did I expect to get into the 9s first time out or at all for that metter.

I agree on the power these eng will make, my new R3 engine is insane. my last 360 build had 400 hp to rear tires and it was fast, I even let a selected few test drive it, but with this R3 and probably 650 to rear tires ( no dyno # ) I would never let any one drive it. 71 Valiant 416 Indy 230...

I am hopping for 9.6s on engine only this coming season(Licence pending) and flirting with the 8s on the Nos.
