Is your mpg right? If so that's pretty good

Is the race shop doing all the assembly?

So it will be turn key when you pick it up or do you plan to do some of it yourself?

Cutting-Edge Diesel · Oct 29, 2014

On no! They are just making motor plates and doing some extra tube work to handle the extra torque and weight. They are also making a new trans tunnel. Other than that I'm doing everything.

nothing I couldnt do but on something like this I would much rather have some one who had done this stuff for years and years do it. Especially on something that will go this fast and have me in it.

Vader's Fury · Oct 29, 2014

O I understand completely. That is why I was curious if you planned to do it yourself or have it done.

With the speed that this car should reach, I can't fault you at all for having it professionally done.

going to upgrade to an strange ultra case on the rear end to prevent it from wanting to spit the pinion out.

Also going to upgrade to bead locks in the rear so it is more stable at speed going down the track and prevent issues off the line. Im thinking about going with these

Looks so sick Matt!

what trans are you using? transbrake?

Cutting-Edge Diesel · Oct 29, 2014

its a air shifted bruno/lenco using 3 speeds with a overdrive case at the end. and it has a air operated trans brake

good call on the ultra case, I would get the 3.8" or 4.00" bearing case, and make sure you get the side load bolt. What gear ratio are you planning on running?

Cutting-Edge Diesel · Oct 29, 2014

still working on the ratio. but If we keep the overdrive in the trans it will probably be in the 4.50 range

If you end up in the 4.10 to 4.86 gear range get a 9.5" gear

Good to know thanks.

this thing is gonna be a complete ***king animal. one build I am REALLY excited for ! whats expected fire up date ? I assume there are tracks within reach that are year round.

Cutting-Edge Diesel · Oct 29, 2014

Thanks Mike. No they close down about this time and open up in march. But like I said I'm not rushing it and don't really have a fire date. Once I get it back I have to make the headers and all the piping and turbo mounts and about 1000' of hoses it seems like lol the little stuff will add up. I think we are still a long way from track times.
