Very cool what are the specs on the engine, turbo, boost, fuel etc and what trans are you running now?
I am trying to sell my twin turbo 5.0 setup after a few months of driving it to go back to a 2.3 LOL!

Sweet vid! Would you have to make many changes to get it to runs as well on a 1/4 mile course?

Sweet vid! Would you have to make many changes to get it to runs as well on a 1/4 mile course? Zero changes. All gearing is done with the 1/4 mile in mind. Currently has 3.73s and I run 7400RPM in 3rd which is 103mph. Since i busted some trans pieces friday I'm thinking Gforce GF5R 5speed, 4.56s and new ET Drags next. That would at least make for a good show. lol Brian yeah, I'm kept the window rolled down a little and they said they thought I lined up with the wrong group of cars. Doh lol

what do you expect in the 1/4 track? And with a 4.56 gear arent' you worried it would run out of gear before the line?

Basically that much of a gear change would shift everything over one gear change. It would take a little over 7000 to get through the 1/8th in 4th gear and would take a little over 7000 again to make it through the 1/4 in 5th.
Not really sure what to expect for the 1/4. It like its pretty close to 10.40-10.50s like it sits but I havent gotten a full clean pass so I wont guess yet.
