Sounds good, I'm sure you will keep us up to date. I guess I am a bit of a sucker for your car... a lot of people are interested in just appearances, but I'm a 1/4-mile guy, so Im always more interested in what a car's got (and the driver) to get down the road from a dig and see what its really made of... your car looks to be one of those, with attention paid to actual REAL horsepower and REAL drivetrain mods. Please document your work for us to see later! (Or at least me... lol)

I thought you wanted to make 11s next year. Putting in 2 10"s and adding weight won't help at all. lol
