305's, and there's still room!! That's wide. I hurts to see your car in the "in-between" phase. I always loved the look of your car previously. I can't wait to see it finished.

Yeah the TII project. It got off tracked after I got the bodykit. Decided to stay NA and do 20B NA next year. The turbo won't work very well on the track plus it will put me in GTO (Over like 4L I think) which would suck really bad. Same class as Turbo Porsche and stuff.

BUt I am still thinking about it for the next motor. This motor going in is just to get enough power to play around with the suspension and chassis setup. Just something that last me 6months and pulls over 260HP. I've been told that down at Australia shops like Guru are getting close to 380HP at crank at around 12000RPM out of a BridgePort. I was thinking about getting a motor from those guys.

Well around 3season of racing and it has to be changed. That is considering the motor is refreshed (coolant and oil seal change) every year. It might last longer than that.
