Someone has been on sbftech haven't they ;) Sounds like a hell of an engine. How much power is that bad boy going to put out (if you can say):D

The car looks great. Are you keeping the stock dash and just cutting it to fit around the cage?

I have been on sbftech for many yrs, I know Jay and Jim very well they are both close friends..

the new engine should I am hoping will make 700 N/A then a little shot of N2O.

the dash will be cut to fit around the cage, I am leaving all the stock interior in it though.

Geesh how much N2O are you going to use? Isn't 700 hp enough? ;)

It's going to be neat to see how you get the interior back in with the roll cage in the car.

Wow, what a shame! They did so much with it. It was looking like it was going to be a great ride. Hopefully someone will pick it up and finish it.
