Nope, I switched back to 93 after the whole ignition ordeal.
I honestly think it's around 420-450rwhp as it sits.
It's running really fat so I can do these highway pulls with the v8s and bikes.

Last time I corner weighted it was sitting at a hefty 2820 without me in it, so I'd really benefit from that.
I'm just too lazy.

lol...
Fenders are NOT rolled. If they were rolled, I don't think they'd rub.
You'll see them tomorrow.

I'd show you if you ever came out.

what a/r? as long as your not running something tiny and choking it you should be at least up where im at in hp. fd plates and intakes flow way better than the t2 stuff im using. i was trying to look up specs on the turbo and i think its actually sized pretty close to what im using right now. the 4082 that im using has a small compressor wheel, which i believe yours does too so we should be in similar power ranges.

and 2800lbs we gotta fix that.... my fc is can get down to around 2300 with out me in it with a cage. so i have a saw, cut off wheels, and a desire to do some cutting so lets make your car light!!!!

Greddy makes the T78, not HKS.
If you're concerned about spool, I'd recommend a smaller turbo and/or ball bearing.
You should consult with who ever is going to tune your car.
It will make everything go a lot smoother.

I like my comfortable street car, but I do need to lighten it up.

Shang rila... however its spelled, stripclub in fort wayne. One on coliseum, and the other on Jefferson I believe.

I know someone who can get me free passes, but I already have 10-15.

Is there anybody out there who can paint with OK equipment. My challenger needs a decent layer and I suck, we could make a day/night of it, my property can take a lot of people, open fire, bbq, beer, who can help.

The Grassroots Challenge is in 4 weeks, car is almost ready except decent paint.

Fort Wayne Circle Track Supply has methanol CHEAP... but require you to buy in in bulk. Last I called they had 55 gallon drums for 120 bucks. ~2 bucks/gallon ain't bad.

Beast's car fired up yesterday night. Still have a lot of work to do, but it's good progress. My car is getting close to where I'm happy with it. Still have some electrical to sort out and I want to put it up in the air this winter and straighten/reinforce the "frame rails" underneath since the previous owner smashed them nicely.

Let me guess...
a car door, a set of golf clubs, a bowling ball, and a dead hooker?

That's what was all in there last time we went racing.


We'll figure out who you'll line up with once we're out there.
