    Its has a mild 408w c4 combo that I ran in my ranger last year. My ranger went mid 9s in 1/4 high 5s in 1/8 all motor. This car is lighter and has better equipment so it should run quicker. No rick I haven't even fired it yet....I didn't care for the wiring so I tore it all out and redid it, had to end up fabing up my own headers.. You know how it is nothing is never simple...

    Good job. Buying a roller always looks better on the phone and in the pictures. Mine was raced hard and put away wet for years before I got it. Had much more work than I wanted to do.
