    Make or break time now...the cars back together and ready to roll, basically I'm looking for low 5.70's or high 60's on motor...where it should really shine now is on the juice ...it's setup to take as much as a 250 shot now...this is guessing but I'm thinking mid 5.20's on the bottle :huh:..:burnout:

    hehehe...all I can say is...bring it Mr. Big Block...:p

    Derrick and Simon... I know the car runs high 8's at around 150 mph in the 1/4 mile in cold weather with no NOS...properly geared with a 200 shot of the juice...low 8's maybe...I'll have a better idea after I shoot it in the 1/8th.
