Well the car finaly made it to the dragstrip. I put a stock T3 turbocharger back on it as I wasn't pleased with the response i was getting with the hybrid. Anyways, non-intercooled T3.... 13.38@99.5 on true street radials.

Tony, glad you made it.
I have looked over the pics of tonys car and it is nice.
A lot of what I am doing is going to be modeled after his car.

Last time I weighed it, it was 2480 with a full tank of fuell and all the interior in it. That was with weld draglite wheels and the 2.3 turbo with a C4. Thanks for all the compliments, I work at Dakota Digital, which is located in Sioux Falls, SD. The main cluster is a custom one off that I did, but we can do them with no problem. And the round gauges are just universal 2-1/16" drop ins, I also made the plate to mount them in that location. If anyone has any more questions just ask.
