Car is a weekend play car, with a 393 stroker and a Vortech YSi with 15 psi of boost, running E85. I had it set up for NA, and mainly 1/8th Mile. Had 4.30 gears, which put the car at 5,200 rpms at the traps with Drag Radials. Since adding the supercharger, I had to go to 3.55 gears. I have only made 1 pass, and that was with the old 4.30s. Car was on the rpm limiter the last 75 feet, and turned 107 @ 6.55, with a 1.60 60ft because of wheel spin.

I am working on getting the trans temp under control on the highway now. With a 3500 stall speed, non lock up, it puts out a LOT of heat.

   I installed a 8 point roll bar with swing out door bars, and through the floor sub frame connectors all tied together. The rear braces tie into the rear sub frame, and the connectors tie into the bottom of the sub frame.
