After a few years of hiatus and collecting dust in the corner of our shop, the last few months we decided to put it back together with a new powerplant. More details to come soon but here is a short video clip.

First dyno graph. We had to quit because we were having tire problems on the dyno. Will throw on a new set of wheels/tires next week and go back at it. But here is what we got and the quest for 1000+ hp VQ is near!

Can't see the picture for some reason (and no it's not sand related!)

We've been really busy here at the shop and havent had much time to test the car out but we have made a few hits at the track with it.
So far we've had to make some suspension adjustments on it changing out the spring rates, had to add some weight to the car (to meet racing class requirements) at over 400lbs which was no easy task. We are still playing around with a different combination of parts to get the car to launch properly. So far we've gotten around 1.34 60fts and a semi full 1/8th mile pass of 5.8@129 without nitrous and about 24psi. In the next few weeks, we will be making a few full 1/4 mi. passes on it before heading to the event in Maryland July 29th.
