Intake was close to $4K with the fogger plumbing
K-member was bought so long ago I don't remember what it cost
Transmission was FREE (the little transmission that everyone thinks couldn't) I chose the 4L65E for a reason, I could put ANY transmission in the car made BUT why does everybody have to be the same. It would be a pretty boring place.

There was no budget when we started this project, it was built for my son (who is 14 years old right now) so he can race it the 2012 season when he gets his learners permit. He chose a lot of the parts and we will make it faster as he progresses.

Can't take the internet too seriously. I certainly wish I had the pocketbook of this build though... so nice.

The 4l6xe can, it's just a matter of how long.

whats your take on Nitrous ? I've heard both sides with most guys saying don't do it cause it will F up the motor.
Thanks for the input.

I saw this car at the LSX Finals and is a beautiful setup. At that time they were still working out the bugs of a new build and to get to 10.48 on all motor is very impressive considering the nitrous setup this car has. When are you going to really let it rip and give it some laughing gas?

We will be at the shootout next month on the 12th and will be spraying it by then.

I think the odometer is like 620??? cant recall exactly. Hopefully we can finish the nitrous setup this week and get some passes on it soon. If it doesn't rain us out tomorrow night we would like to get a few more all motor passes. Think we still might have more in it.
