Damn it Emery at STM!
I'm hoping word doesn't get leaked out about what we are doing. Going to be hard to keep it quiet until the Shootout but that is the plan. I will post up some really tight pictures zoomed in on some parts and such and maybe a dyno sheet at things get going.
This time around I plan to do whatever the hell it takes to go fast which will include throwing nitrous at the car. ET/MPH is all I care about. I'm not running a tin can again and I will not get away from the stock suspension but beyond that there is no rules. This car will probably end up at the Texas Mile and maybe even Bonneville, as long as we don't get disgusted again and that's always a possibility.
Like I tell my son, drag racing is a few seconds of pleasure when things go right and countless hours of work and aggravation the rest of the time.
BTW, there is absolutely NO, NONE, NOT AN OUNCE of problem or competition between myself and Emery/STM. I consider him a very close friend and have provided him with anything he has needed, information, advise, parts whatever. I have no secrets with Emery. His running fast lately has simply motivated me to give it another try, plain and simple.
The community needed someone to get motivated and go fast again, it's been awhile and I'm glad it was Emery who gave it a boost.

Always interested to see what others are building i'll be waiting and reading
I too love drag racing
Competition = innovation, spcially when is this caliber.
I have been around the block since 06 and appreciate what you and all the other shops bring to this community to keep it alive, and the parts i used on my IX always appreciated from you and Jared.
looking foward to see what you have to bring as far as a car goes.

black mamba, if that car is RWD then I am for sure not concerned.
warp9, man if you really feel like that about marriage I feel sorry for you. My wife is wonderful, thank God. I've been on the other side too and it's misery!
To the rest of you, thanks for the good wishes. I'm still shocked I want to do this......but I do!
