Car is full int. Well looks it. Even have two 12's in the hatch. But have shaved every ounce I could. Deadining. Have done a full car rewire to iliminate any useless wires. Heat shealds. Brakets. All the bs that's not needed. As far as progress goes I got a lil more wiring dong and battery relocation done. Project is goin on back burner for few days cuz my son is in the hospital. Will start as soon as he gets out.

Ok so update. Made a shifter. Installed starter. Did a lot more wirering. Got the ecu powered up and motor started for the first time. Runs good got a vacume leak. Need to finish exhaust,make drive shaft, install radiator and coolant. And finish the wirering and it'll be time for a test drive

missed the last track event due to my cam fouling plugs out....gay. it's too big for the stock tune and its loading up with fuel.putting an safc and wide band in so i can have it tuned by the next event. running a .585 lift and a 307in and 319ex duration. hoping to be tuned on a 100 shot by the next event.if no nitrous im hoping to be on 7lbs of boost from a single 70trim...car is not fs as of now....unless its the right offer : ) im wanting to get the body strait and paint done before i sell it but i keep finding good deals on go fast parts so idk when it will be done. car looks like a rat p.o.s but screams
