THE POWERPLANT
UPDATE FOR 2006
We dig deeper into the 12's!!!
After working out some issues, the car finally ran into the 12's. Although it barely made it, we found the intercooler setup was not up to par, and the tune was way out of wack. Since that pass was made, we have added quite a more horsepower. The newest upgrades include a new intercooler system, stage4 blower, and a great tune done by Ron Vogel.
With these new upgrades, I managed to run the car to a 12.78 @108 mph. This was done with a 2.15 60' time. Which means that if the car hooked up, the way it did the 12.98 run, it would run 12.30-12.50 or so. This was all done with tuning glitches, which allows me to believe there will be no problems running into the 11's in the spring!
Here are some pictures of the intercooler core, the blower, and the fuel rails not installed on the car.

Here is a link to the video of the car's personal best:
