Right down to the wire!!!!!!
I have been putting in 12 hour days working on my car on my days off for the last 5 weeks. Just finished at midnight...hours before track day
The car has undergone a rather large tranformation...hopefully a productive one. Will find out tommorow.
Id love to see some fantastic ETs from it but with all the new suspension and new parts the car will probably run down the track sideways until we get it dialed in
New parts on the car:
Moser Engineering 12 bolt with 3.73s and Eaton 33 spline posi
BMR extreme anit roll bar
BMR adj lower control arms
BMR K member
poly motor mounts
new carpet
new seats...still power seats
new nitrous switch panel
new nitrous auto nitrogen pressure system
new 3.5" mandrel bent intake with daul 3.5 K&N filters
BMR stainless radiator support custom fit for intake
4 point cage (soon to be 6 point)
longer 12 mm hardened wheels studs
weight reduction of 200 lbs
6.0 truck coil packs (5000v hotter spark than LS1)
and a ton of other things I cant even think of right now.
Im flat wore the fuck out
Most of this was done on my garage floor, some at my buddy Kirbys house ( he has a lift and welder)
My hands are tore up.
Was it worth all the effort? Well I hit the street late last night to test each stage individually.....friggin thing kicks like a mule!!!! And that was on the smallest shot I have. So yes its all worth it.
The things we go through for out hobbies

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.
