Small little update. Got around to plumbing the whole brake system. Full ABS delete. Used a GL master/booster and lines. Lots cleaner and got rid of the huge ABS pump.

Also got the subframe in with new wheel bearings/hubs, control arms, and with koni/intrax.

Abs lines on left, non abs on the right.

No overspray at all, besides for the front windshield. But it will come off pretty easy. But tge whole windsheild might come out anyway

I'm really hoping this build will produce a low 13/high 12 sec SHO.

However, I am gonna laugh my A$$ off if after all this work it still only runs about a 13.5.:laugh_ti:

It's only funny cause it's not me. If I was the one putting all the effort into it and got crappy results I would be ******.:madflame:

I have never seen anyone break an axle with the 3rd gen subframe. I'm not saying he won't though. I think the trans will continue to give him problems though.

I wont see axles being such a huge factor. The car will weigh somewhere around 2500 pounds. The gen3 subframe does help a lot but i plan on using some nice big tires on the front and im pretty confident i will be able to crack down 1.8 60ft times.

As far as goals are

I want a 1.7-1.8 60ft, traps around 112-115 and a mid 12 second ET. From what i have seen so far it will happen. Maybe not the first run off the trailer but eventually after i get the car dialed in correctly i see a mid 12 second car.

I was running 2.0 60ft times and even a 1.9 with drag radials and probably over 350whp. I'd like to see how you were launching.
