Car should be driveable b4 end of January, after running it in im gona do the dyno scene for a lil while as without a cage the car will just pik the front left up for the 1st 60ft!! Plans for the car are 40psi on e85, so without a cage the shell will just twist too much!

single cam RB30, GT42 with big cam and headwork usually runs about 900rwhp at those levels of boost with C16, you could be making more with E85 hopefully! Hope mines this clean when its done!

After doin the dyno scene and shaming a few ls1 boys il cage it and start chasing a time, il be stoked with a 9.99 but car should be gd for 9.50-9.70 qtrs in a manual! Reason for sitting so high are the 275 et streets as i really wanna crack a 9 on them b4 putting full slicks on. Only time will tell I suppose, either way should be a fun ride on the street :-D
