Well some of you may know I put my car backwards into a tree last oct.. Well I spent the month of july with 5 guys putting it back together and sticking nearly 450 hours in it in 5 weeks. We had to make a few new molds to put the car back together as we learned somestuff from the first time doing some of the parts. We make the whole clambshell and also the air box is 100% carbon fiber and my own design. Then I decided to switch computers on the car from Bigstuff 3 to the New Holley Dominator computer, which has just about as many options as a motec for a fraction of the cost. So ive been working the bugs out of it preparing for the mile in three weeks if I can get in...I also converted the car to a cog set up for my blower and did single lug wheels on the car which I really wanted todo the first time.. Hopefully Wednesday I can dyno it again on my chassis dyno and it should make 1600+ to the tire. We have already made close to 1500rwhp with it and have made a blower change and a few other changes. Ive put a about 1200 miles on it in the last week or so trying to break everything possible that may go wrong so that I can drive it from Minnesota to Texas for the mile!

I'm sure quite a few of us would be happy to help with that lol, but the car looks amazing and has to be insanely fast!
