well im HOPING my paycheck from may 30th will be the last one i need. so hopefully beginning of june ill be tuning it and testing. its went on alot longer then i was hoping but ive also spent a ton more then a normal 19yr old would on a car. i think the total will be at 9500 after the machine shop. then i still need 2100 dollar heads 1300 dollar clutch and an 800 dollar dyno tune so ill hav spent about 14k on this car. shoulda bought a rail lol

but we are moving now so hopefully the motor will be out this weekend then i hope the slow *** machine shop is done.

my original goal was a high 11s car. but then the stock motor went down hill and i am completly addicted to speed 112mph was slow in my eyes so i want more and i decided to make it as fast as i can and hope itll satisfy me (im sure it will)

high 11's would be fairly easy to attain...high 10's would be something to boast about...9's is ridiculous, lol
