Default Thinking about doing a new setup

Currant setup in sig has went 10.7@127 with tpis headers. Car now has AR 1 7/8 headers and a vacuum pump. Should go 10.4 at 130 mph just haven't been back to the track. Will have to wait till march to see how fast it will go. Now on to the new build after i see how fast it goes motor. Will start off with an LS2 short block,callies crank,h-beam rods,wiseco pistons,LQ9 heads from tsp. New single plane intake from gmpp with a box mounted on top for plenum volume/hood clearance. And a tti x-lite twin turbo.

Sounds like a great idea.Don't forget the full roll cage,firesuit,kill switch,window net,etc. And 8.5 to 10.0 license & parachute for over 150 mph

I figure they would let me run one time before they kick me out.

Damn! I catch up and you go ahead and do this...

Sounds sweet. The new TT deals are hard to pass up. Should make a nice street car also.
