Talking What is everyone planning on accomplishing in 2008?

I am going to set my sights a little lower this year. All i am really hoping to do this year is get my engine built and running, get the car street legal, and maybe throw a coat of paint on her.


What is everyone else's plans?

hmmm
1st get the car up and running
tune for maximum boost
dial the suspension in and try to keep the car straight
and run mid 10's..thats the goal for starters
been very hard to keep the car straight in the past should have it licked
with all the upgrades/tricks I've done...

"work in Progress"

haha, can you bounce off the wall before the 60' mark and still be ok?



My goal is to get down to a 10.5. Thats just 4 tenths, but it will take some work, and some more power. I also need to get my 6 point built and a couple other safety things.

Are you planning on running alcohol 24/7 ? Just curious if you'll be running alcohol on the street ? I haven't heard of any roticery guys doing that.
