    +1 for stainless being harder to work with, but looks awesome forever (for brakes) but used ally for fuel as too hard to bend large diameter.

    Where did you source the engine from?

    Who are you using for engineering?

     

     

    Great to see progress

    Preston Motors supplied the engine, just beat the recent price hike on the motors so saved a few k.

    The guy doing all my fabrication has an engineer he uses.

    Nice work with the savings.  Your not doing the fab yourself?  Theres not too much to it or am I missing some killer big time mods you are secretly planning?

    Yeah I’m doing as much as I can with it. Fabricator will be shorting and building the diff and possibly the mini tubs if I can’t be assed.

    If it doesn’t run a 9@14x I’ll be disappointed.

    Thats seriously fast. Getting aps to tune it again?

     

    I would assume it will be fairly useless on the street on street tires? No hope of traction but fun

    Yeah Luis will most likely tune it. Hoping to have a 295 under the ass. But in saying. That wouldn’t mind if it broke reaction on the freeway lol
