Yes but I'm running super stang and our first round will be really early. Doubt I'll make it pass the first round since I'm sitting at the line kinda long to let it spool. So get there early if you want to see it!

Got to meet Ken today and see the car run. Seems like a pretty cool guy and of course the car looks sweet in person.

Good talking to you.


Got the videos done. I'd like to give a huge thanks too Jake Long and Jon Lund. Two of the best guys to partner with on a project like this. I'd also like to give a special thanks to Michael at L&M Engines for a badass engine. He made the trip down to Bradenton just to watch what it would do! I'd also like to thank Evolution Performance for having us in their pit in the midway, great hanging out with you guys.

Here is the video


and here is the helmet cam

Dang Ken... those are some sweet passes. I don't think I have ever seen a car launch so quietly and smoothly. It's almost like you're just going from a stoplight, but raking in 1/4's in the 9's.... lol. Is it that smooth all because of the tires??? or just how the power is laid down? Either way. Very nice.

Mostly just because we aren't building boost at the line. When we do, should go 9.0 on the same tune!

You don't need a built engine at all for 6-8 psi! Will work great on the stock engine and how we designed it. We are just doing this to see how far the kit will go. We will have a better idea on install time once we do the next 3 cars next month. Shouldn't be too back.


Roll bar is done!

Since it's been awhile since this has been asked. At this point is their any "idea" what this kit could cost?

Not yet. We are doing 3 "Alpha" cars starting next month. A Boss, a manual GT and an auto GT. We will probably have pricing once those are done.



Jake has been getting a lot done on the car for the Texas Mile. I'll have more pictures tomorrow of the new fuel setup.

Put some Brembo's on the front to make sure we can get it stopped



18" Wheels with Hooisers

Looks good. Is the circumference of those 18's similar to stock?? Will you be making a gearing change to run top speed??

Yes. No gearing changes needed. I should be good to 220+ in 5th.

What gear are you running to get you to 220?
