Default Updated pics of car + cage

After fighting a problem in the transmission since TX2K6 including removal/install 4 times in the past month, I decided to start fresh with a new tranny from the case up. Thankfully that got the car back on the road Thursday at 1am. Friday I made a test pass of 10.7 @ 18psi (launching at 3370rpm, no bottle), and saturday I turned it up holding 34psi. I'm enjoying that, and eager to get back to the track.












And one with the daily

Very nice . Good choice to go with the black. I hate seeing the obvious cages.

Your car is very clean. What are you putting down to the wheels? I love your interior especially around the shifter area.

looks great since your going full on ***** to wall with the cage and parachute why not get rid of the back seat? Maybe throw on some carpet where the rear seat should be or something to keep it looking nice

Looks good, solid numbers.. Do you have the slip that breaks down the run? Also what cage is that?

Thanks everyone. I like to keep as clean of an interior without gauges etc as much as possible. I'd rather have the computer do the work, than me have to watch gauges.

It is a 5speed SC shiftboot, with my stock auto shift **** drilled and threaded onto a B&M quicksilver shifter for the th400.

The cage is a custom 10pt chromoly, which I have actually yet to paint (it will be black).

Benny, they are Weld Alumastar wheels with 28x10.5 MT ET Drags in the back and 165R15 up front. Stock suspension at this point, though I have ready to install: springs to lower the front, and KYB AGXs to stiffen the rear if it bottoms out.

SouthernSC, I'm not ready to strip the car.. I enjoy it being full interior etc, from a comfort and looks standpoint at this time.

Iron, no - it's slow

I am not sure of the horsepower, nor do I want to guess at 1/4 times... I may get it to a track this weekend if time and weather permit.
