Everything is on standby for awhile till we figure out what kind of radiator and intercooler to use and how to route all the piping.

I guess we will see you at next years Grand Prix of Houston in the GT class? This looks like a true racing car.

Can you detail all that you are doing to this "street racer"?
I suspect SuperCharger plus lots of other goodies. Why the rollcage?

Just do two pulls without the cage then they'll kick you out.

I dont really know when mine will be done. Hopefully soon. Everything just seems to take forever in my case and im not sure why. The cage has to be redone if you say my rant earlier. After the fab work though its off to paint and then back for finaly assembly and tuning.

My biggest worry is keeping the damn thing cool and keep the motor together

Do you have a list of things already done that you'd like to share? You have a fully built block right?

Of course, motor is fully built with all the standard stuff. Well it was all new stuff when we started but the machine shop took about 8 months to finish my motor. Still havent figured that one out.
