    Quest for the 10's for just over 1000 bucks

    Here is the project http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/sh...log)&highlight=


    Getting ready to run it on the 24th, hopefully a cool friday night, adding 26x8.5x14 slicks this time, light drag front tires on the rear instead of skinny street tires, msd box with two step and single fogger nozzle starting with a 50 shot, goal 10.99 @ altitude on the cheap, gonna try to take some more weight out of it anywhere I can.

    Good luck! If it's a low 11, bring it to SDAC where we will be much closer to sea level

    Did you need spacers to fit those tires?

    This set of centerlines need an 1/8" spacer, the wing is off of an 87 Shelby Lancer, R/T spoilers are straight, these has a slight curve to match the back of a Shadow pretty good.

    Gonna do some surgery today on a pair of fenders, gonna try to raise the whole wheel opening up an 1 1/2 to 2 inches

    Man I don't know, I would think those slicks will grow enough to rub, that's close!

    Dude that was BADASS. Really good vid and good race too. Looks like you're having fun with this thing! Making me want to drop that 'small 50 trim' i just got into my 2300lb Aries...


    And the non turbo cars look REALLY lazy in that vid.. everything n/a and under 600hp looked slow..

    Dont push the red button.You hear me?

    Ask anyone on here, cars run exactly the same at altitude as they do at sea level!!!!!! ;-)

    I rolled a new head gasket in it today, it was blown into the coolant passage, on both runs the temp gage was pegged at the end
