indeed i do !

the car just came back from getting the rollcage installed, it has new wheels and tires ( used bfgoodrich dragradials for "testing" , and nitto NT01 for later ).

rear diff is in and functional as well as new coilovers ( car sits better now)

blower is hooked up and running .

i drove it with the blower hooked and boy does it tach up fast ( almost like you're in nutural) . the thing only puts out 4 to 5 psi and it roasts regular tires till third ( rear has 2.7 gears).
this week we'll take the car out for some final engine tunning and tweaking the suspension more .
the car pulls pretty good on the crappy road infront of the shop , we'll see how it does on a decent road. i should have some vids of that when we do it.

on a side note, the owner is getting some funny thoughts about a 350Z

its been a while since this thread has been updated, but here goes:

the blower engine and blower have been sold , and in its place is a 408 with about 11:1 compression , why you may ask? cause something like this might be sitting on the engine pretty soon

thanks again for the kind words, if you like the space this car saved, wait till you hear about how much likter it is !!

we chose the auto for ease of instalation as well as consistancy when racing . you can't beat an auto with a trans brake.

the read end is off a v8 mustang . we yet have to swap out the 2.7 gear in it
