ya ill post some pics when shes painted and ill try to put some motor pics up sooner.as for the strip maybe, but mainly a street warrior blowin the doors off imports and mustangs.right now i have a 8.2 rear with a fresh 3.73 posi,and seeing as how im making almost 500 ft/lb my trans and gear man(best in the city)said not to hook it up too hard.so im running 7" rims w/ 8" tires in the back,so needless to say i have a bit of a traction issue for the track lol.but it makes it kinda fun until i can get my 12 bolt cause when you hit it at 35mph and it dowshifts you better hang on cause the ass is all over the place.
