I am a fan of the old skool draw throughs.

what 60ft?

love the chop too!

congats dude!

Hey,it was 1.44 60 ft,no burn out and air pressure was 15 psi in tires. Once I get some more seat time I will be adjusting the car and find out what it will do. Those were the first passes I have made in the car and haven't driven in years,so just holdin on and shifting gears,hahahahah

Awesome clean fast pass Mike!
Leaves hard on the 5800 two-step!

Hey Dave,
Leaving on the 2 step settled the car in alot,the first pass was without it,notice how much it bounced compared to the last 2. I think that is where alot of trannies break,that loading and unloading of the chassis. I hope to go to the track this Sunday,if I do will be doing a burnout and lowering air pressure to 11 psi,supposed to be in the mid 70's . Thanks Boostin Mike

Good one mike, how does it feel compaired to your old car. ( Fast)
Have we seen engine spec sheet yet (please)
Must feel great when it comes on boost:P

My old Ghia was n/a tube chassis car,so this is a BIG change. The actual engine is the same one,just redone for turbo. I changed the cam and lowered compression,otherwise it's exactly the same as it was. It will make this old mans hands tremble after a pass,hahahahah One word of advice,don't try it without wheely bars !!!!!!!! Did a 3 wheel wheely when I did ! Of course no pics.
2275 94x82 porche rod journals,vw mains
type 1 case
8.2 compression,cima pistons and cyls
Superflow heads, 48x40 stainless valves
Kawell cam(comparable to fk 87),Berg 1.4 rockers
401 hp @6000 rpm's 15 psi boost /crankshaft hp
