All last season we were chasing trans issues. The car wouldn't shift above 8,000rpms but the fastest pass we made ( which is embarrassing to say ) was a 11.17 @ 131. That was basically short shifting every gear just to put a number up. This year we put a SQS dog box in the car so we should be good to go.

Here is a video of the a night qualifier the day before the trans spit the diff out. Notice how slow I was shifting

The low budget thing is because I can't pony up and afford to run Outlaw SFWD and compete. We can ALMOST compete in Trust Street/SFWD with this setup

Well my side business is a own line parts store. I am goin to contact a moderate on here and see how much to advertise on here . But to answer the question I bought this car new off the show room floor back in 2003 when I was 17 so since then this car had numerous set ups on it so I would say i have about close to 70k into it.

My friend has a 450hp VW that is about dead even with my Z06. I drove his car and don't think it could handle much more power because with r comps on it there is traction issues.
I can't see how almost double that power does anything more then dyno queen. Still an awesome build though. |

The car does 1.68 60fts and we can get them lower when we finally get all bugs out of the car.
As for the traction comments this isn't 1999 anymore. We control the boost with the rear wheel speed. <3 SEM How could anyone compare a Honda to a VW? Honda's better flowing heads, better Trans, and weigh a lot less. |

I would think even RWD cars would have some issues with R comps and 800whp.

Major Prop's to you for this Build.. I would walk past just about every Retailed 70k car to check yours out and spark up conversation because of the work done.
