So here is the latest news on the car. The passenger side header is almost done. There is a small clearance issue that the shop has to deal with this week and then the final welding will be done.

The shop also got in the core for the custom intercooler (see pics) and it is a beast. It will handle all we want it to upto 1500hp.

The cage was supposed to be done before bringing the car home and now we are re-thinking that. It has been suggested that we stick with the 8:50 cage for now until we have the car all setup and I am comfortable with the power/handling simply because the funny car section does leave hazards as far as my smacking my head around on the bars. I am not fond of the idea but I understand the shops reasoning.

My LSX block now sits in customs until who knows when and the cylinder heads are supposed to arrive on May 3rd. The other engine parts are also on their way except for the Wilson intake manifold/fuel rails and the Procharger. Those should be in around the 3rd week of May.

We are also at the point where I will be bringing the car home for wiring at the end of April. I will be making arrangements to have it brought home soon. Once it gets home some real fun should start.

Look at the size of this beast of a intercooler core :)

I am very happy to say that I got my NHRA license.
