Default Want it all!

I'm looking to do all of the windows on my '95 but would prefer to wait for the blacked out front to be available. Any word on that?
Thanks, Karl

Noooo problemo. That window plus swapping on a formula hatch = 50 lbs of the 350 I'm looking to get off the car, that's a good start.

As fast as possible at this point.

There's a 9.50 index that I could run right as it sits, the car will pop off a 9.5x all day long in decent air on an o.k. track, get it on a good track or killer air and it's going faster then that, in the summer heat, it will see 9.6x, but I'd like to try to get it there with less/no nitrous if possible, or maybe just put 2 kits on it, and have one that I can put on a timer to come on down track for the last couple seconds to push it to 9.50 if I can't get it there n/a, the 2nd kit a good fogger that will put it to the end goals I have for the car.

Ideally at full tilt all it's got, I'd like to see it somewhere in the 8.5x range when I'm all said and done.

Getting 350 lbs out so she's down to 3000 is the first step, that should be enough to see 9.3 to 9.2 with no added power, probably in the high 9's n/a

I am planning on pulling the motor and making some changes that should get me about another 100 motor hp, if that works out then 9.5 n/a shouldn't be a problem at all, and a single fogger with a 30 jet or so should put it at about 8.9, at that point I'll put the 2nd stage on and get it to the bottom of what the chassis cert is good for.

I'm in no rush to get it there, but that's where I'd like to see the car end up when it's done.

well we wish you good luck! that 350 pounds will definitely help a bunch as well as be easier on parts. It should 60' better as well after you adjust for the weight loss over the rear end.

That's nothing, the k member and manual rack still have to get done and are next on the list, as well as cutting off the cowl, all other excess metal out of the car and a joe van o pin on hood. While the engine is out the hood will get mounted, cowl cut and smoothed, door bars removed, wolfe door skins installed and upholstered, and I'm going to race wire the car 100%, and ditch probably the entire factory harness, BS3 system probably too.

Another 100 motor hp, 300 lbs out and a fogger/plate setup are the plans at thsi point, probably swap to a glide tranny too.

Lot of work and $, but it will get there.
