Tight-work, Phil! I mean it's got funky kinda look to it that make me wish it runs as good as it looks. I hope you can get some good times with the CA motor like you did with your SR. But as for big power monster CA powered S-cars, you're going to have to bring the monster snails and monster spitters because there's a couple of S-cars as well as a B-car or two that's looking to do well in excess of 500whp and one of the B-cars is completed and driving around as we speak . Keep us updated on your project and call me when you need me for I'll be around somewhere.

Educated? No. Stupid? Yep. And when I say stupid I mean stupid FRESH!

Seriously though, looks awesome. Can't wait to see how it responds to the beating I know you are going to give it every day of its life.

Suspension is for squares, real men just weld everything together to ensure 100% tire contact with the pavement at all times.

suspension can be the difference between 12s and 10s dude... suspension is REALLY more important than you think in drag racing... thats what helps you leave the line straight...

as for the diff... Z32 VLSD (fully rebuilt) Is going in soon.
