This chassis and motor set up was built and ran 11.13 the first time out. Weight has not been determined but I believe it is around 3600 pounds. Add 200 from me and I estimate race weight at 3800.

The engine seems to have tremendous bottom end torque and I am struggling to find a torque converter that won�t blow threw. The JW has lasted. The B&M holeshot lasted 3 runs. JW folks are real good to work with.

This package will run consistent 10.90�s once all the bugs are worked out.

If I was starting this package over from scratch I would have went with a Cal-Trak spring, shock and bar rear suspension (about $900) instead of the super stock springs, and super stock hangers.
