Marco79 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 You going to be running this at santa pod in the jap drag series? That's the intention mate, very keen on the street series. I will be a real underdog at first but it will be good experience as I need to learn the car and progress with her hence this 1st engine build being good for 600bhp to allow me to learn how to handle her while I build the 2nd motor good for 1400bhp to be a serious contender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
