I had alot of problems with the car. I finally got my 9" stuff last week. But i'm still missing the 4-link bars. I'm planning to start my project as soon as got my cog belt setup figured out.

Any ways Jim, keep us posted.....

Hey Edward, I launch the car about 5000 rpm. It goes nice and straight down the track. It actually seems alot better since I put more tire on the car. I went from 26x11.5x15 et streets to 28x12.5x15 et streets. With the nitrous, the bigger tires and 3.70 gear work well. I need to put some new pictures up in my sig. Those tires on the car are the old 26" tires.
