Default mini tubb kit is in

Boys im im back! I have been busy with the comaro, the mini tubb kit is in, and looks prety trick. Next I will have to dummy up the **** end again to get spring height. It will now run coilovers in the **** amongst other things. New thru floor frame connecters are next on the list and have been sitting there waiting now for some time. Does anyone know the ebay seller (XPRESS AERO KITS????) it appears that my 4inch cowl bonnet never made it to the us shipping yard! That is what happens when you build a car on the other side of the globe,and have the only 1 in Australia.
Anyways, blahd enough as usual, hit me back.

Hi mate, yes lost my money for the hood! It hurt the hip pocket. The engine makes 450- 500 horsepower NA. It is a race car, and we already had a 250 wet shot plumbed in but never shot. So were going for slightly bigger tyres and whole car rebuild before the car hits the track again. I cant take pics at the moment as I dont have a camera, but I will be sure to post some at a later date. I used the wolfe racecraft mini tubb kit. A fantastic piece of work would suit a more standard car better than mine as I had to hand build alot of the drivers side myself. Imean by standard a car that still wants to run a underfloor fuel system, as half the tubb is missing due to the filler neck, anyway thru floor frame connectors are on the cards today, the sun is shinning and the air will soon be full of grinder dust, but hell it's a great feeling the satisfaction of achievement!

Looks good. Those are some massive wheel wells. What size of slicks you running?

Hi mate, it was and will be still running the 28 x 12.5, but they will be pulled right in and under the arch. Im going to try 30x 13 for the dummy process, we'll see what happens. Rear end still needs some trickery to relocate even the tube lower controll arms, it will need custom panhard rod and mounts to bring them inline with the wheel well. One piece of the puzzle at a time.

Wow that's going to be one fast sick car. What are you planning on running in the 1/4? Low 9s?

Yes, this motor will do low nines with the 250 shot. Perhaps looking at a buddys 7 sec sbc, if it goes for the right money. Made so much power it scared him ****less, 1 run and the whole car came apart and hes now a fisherman. How is that!
