Low 9's / high 8's is the goal for 2009! Last year the car went 10.1 @140. Since then, we've : pulled approx. 350 pounds out of the car upgraded the rear end bigger turbo intake/exhaust manifolds dual fuel rails AEM w/5bar speed density 3.5" burns stainless exhaust Here are some teaser pics back from January: Fab 9" housing and 4 link 6 gallon fuel cell, strange shocks Dual walbro 255 inline HP. side shot of the 4 link hoosier QTP/motegi trak lites. strange ultralight brakes w wilwood calipers. Lugs had to be drilled for the longer bolts. Inside of car:

^^^ That's for sure.
The pictures don't do it justice. The rear end work on this car is phenomenal.

Sorry, my photo taking skillz SUCK Yeah, the exhaust is all finished and the car is running. It sounds mean. AEM is a bitch to learn but I'm getting the hang of it. I fouled out 7 sets of plugs trying to get it to start up properly. Aaron, those pics are how it looked in January. At that point all I had was the rear end/brakes/fuel system installed. The exhaust/engine upgrades/carpeting was just recently finished. I'll get around to more updates soon. My secondary Fuel injector clinic rail was leaking like a sieve as soon as I turned the methanol pump on. The injectors with green o-ring just fall into the rail ports with no resistance, so they apparently dont fit RC injectors right. I called their tech, and they said it should work. It should be track ready very very soon.

Great work. This is much like the plans I had for my old white colt before I realized how broke I was. I can't wait to see this thing go down the track.

Looks like a hell of a rear end,no more worries of breaking it. What size injectors are you running with the dual rails? Planning on straight methanol I take it? Can't wait to see it in person.

1200cc 93 octane gas primaries, and 1000cc secondaries running old torco methanol.
I'll be switching to VP M-5 here soon. I have a friend here who went from 300whp to 320whp just switching over. If you ever switch back to methanol, you might want to look into it.

You should tow that thing to GR and take some of the V8-head's money on the street.
