Re Chipped ECU to manage it all

Compression will be right at 12:1 and I think I should be able to manage to squeak in a 13 second time slip this year.

Got slicks?

 

:thumbup: :thumbup: ...Im jealous and I want a new engine...

 

Nightshade your car was bad ass as is, now

Dude how much is that setting you back ? Thats some serious cash for all that shit. Plus labor where you having the work done ?

1 more, how long is it going to be in the shop ?


Ohh and of course PIX on completion, I think that just about wraps it up haha. good luck bro

 

:thumbup:

 

Thanks guys I am a little excited to be getting done with it all.

Basically it al boils down to what my mom said a few months before she passed away, "If your gonna build it and you can't push into at least the 13s then it seems like a waste."

I hope to be able to do that at least in her memory since she wasn't around long enough to see it happen.

 

sound good. where did u purchase all the parts? :naughty:

 

Hook ups baby....hook ups

Actually not much of a break on parts but a break on the labor...it's good to have friends that own shops

 

Well, after you're all done, get her on a dyno and let us know how much power you're putting out. I'm going to pick up MY engine next weekend. But there's a little bit of prepwork to be done before it goes in... Still have to find and rebuild a transmission too. Oh, but there's a long road ahead. Well, good luck in your build!

 

Dyno is already lined up..I got a hook up on that one finally

 

Since your mom is behind you, we know you'll make it. Keep us posted.
