I understand what your trying to say. And understand its going to take power. And getting everything right. But i like the idea of the challenge. And understand this won't happen over night and will take some time. And mabey a failure or two. But with the words of Ricky Bobby "I WANNA GO FAST!"

I honestly thank it is possible. The race game has been changing. And the 1/2 mile and standing mile is getting bigger. And its something i thank we are missing out on. Because we focus on the 1/4. And no one is really paying attention to this sport in our community.

Ummmm hello... Anything RED makes stuff faster!

Thanks man...... The look on my wifes face. When i explained my plans. Was a pure look of shock and panic. But she is on board with the build. Since she is the bank. I guess that's a good thing.

if it were me.........callies magnum crank (go billet if u can swing the coin), oliver billet rods, have JE make you a 2618 piston, fill the block, billet 4 bolt studded mains......I wouldn't even dick with a normal head.....run a set of all pro 23RR heads or an 18* head with a small valve in it ~2.12> run a big single plane with plenty of plenum volume and a strong SR setup......with a good turbo setup it should stay strong and make big power......however this would be extremely expensive......ive always wanted to run a nice sprint head converted to small valve on my motor but im buying a house this year so that's gonna have to wait lol

Ya i sold my AFR heads. And going with a 18° setup. Billet is the way to go.

Im starting on buying some engine parts. But about year out from starting. Focusing on body/chassis right now. We will be moving about 2 hours from our current house. And buying a new home. So moving slow for next year.

I remember several years ago that fella Jim Moran (INTMD8 on CZ28.com) had a twin turbo 96 SS that was mostly stock aerodynamically, made around 850rwhp and ran 199 at Maxton the one pass before he got DQ'd for improper safety equipment.
