Well, it's about time I put up a build thread. You could say things are.....getting a bit serious around the garage.
This car was formally owned by "HTH3r0" and "Arkady" on here. I acquired the car earlier last year with the LS1 swap already in it. Once spring and summer rolled around the corner, I took it to the track and ran into a few issues. Obviously, I couldn't keep the thing from breaking. So I put in a Ford 8.8 rear end and started breaking stockish axles every time I went to the track - the joy of launching on a drag radial!
Since then, I've "woken up" the car a bit with a set of 243 heads, custom cam, and nitrous.
What are my goals? To basically have a super light street car to have fun with on and off of the street.
I would also like to see low 10.XX passes @ 130 on motor. Who knows on nitrous. I guess we will find out.

On the Dyno after a few months of having the car.
Here's a video of a dyno pull. Car made 390/389.

Passes on the old TII rear end. Pretty consistent.
Then the stock TII rear end went boom. And this happened.

Grinding down the 8.8 to make it fit at Fathouse Fabrications. Thanks to Eric for the fresh rebuild with nice internals.
Big brother, little brother.
8.8 is in!
Then a new PB happened shortly after.
...and then this happened shortly after.
Fixed the axle in time for the annual SNS NoRotors meet. Decided to officially weigh the car. She's pretty heavy!
Cleaned up before winter rolled in.
Here's one of the 243's before being sent off to Brett @ LandSpeed.
