OK, now the engine is almost done, i have BBK long tube headers, BBK short h-pipe, Centerforce clutch and electric fan coming in, i just got my gauges, nice streetglow gauges with a a-pillar 3 gausge pod. I also have 90% of my interior ready to go in, if the weather gets better next weekend, we will pull the car out and install the new interior, went with titanium grey, i just bought the dash, door panels, center console, kick panels, seats, headliner and carpet for both rear and front and the only thing left to do is the headliner and some some plastic trim pieces. Once i get her out and get the work done, i will post some pics. Hope to have the paint job and NOS done no later then mid April, it will be a fully restored car from head to toe, cant wait till its done.
Craig, once everything is done and i get some dyno numbers and test and tune on the engine and then on spray i will decide what class, i know there will some low 10's running so if i cant get low with the nitrious, i might just pull the bottle and run the LD class, you running LD or street this year?
Mid or low 10's for Extreme Street will be tough and running at the top of a class is ok but I expect that a mid 11 car will have just as good a shot winning the Extreme Street class I wish I was ready for that move but I am not. I need more parts to be competitive in Limited Street, I had to send some back and more on the way. With current set up 12.7 will be all I will be able to do at best. Parts coming in should get me near 12.5 on dr's Parts for this car is expensive and makes Wife upset...lol.
If you get a chance to do a test and tune night let me know, I would like to get one or two in too with the new set up to get ready for the season.
With or without n2o your car is going rock.

Between the interior and exhaust and clutch i just dropped about $2G, now im looking at another $2500 to add juice because i will have to cage the car, i will be doing test and tune as soon the track open's, i want to get as much time in there as i can, i will PM you my number, anytime i go you are more then welcome to join in, if i use juice this year, im looking for some mid 11's, im only doing a 125 shot, without juice, im hoping to get in the high 11's, the engine is strong with the new build, i just dont know what it will do yet and i havent even gotten into the suspension yet, i have plans for a tubular k-member, front and rear coil over's, aluminum drive shaft and a built C4 tranny.
The headers and h-pipe are installed along with the clutch, this week the new interior is going in along with the gauges, battery box, electric fan and heater core, maybe by the end of the week or the week after it will be going to see Doug at Vanstrom for the NOS install and then off to Kennedys for the dyno and tune. Im hoping its all complete by Mid-April so we can get it in and painted for the spring time cruising, only thing left after all of that is the suspension upgrades and the roll cage going in.
