I don't have any video yet but will soon have dyno and track times.
Here's my two friends that I was talking about from about two years ago both of them are a lot faster now.

Cost for a 9 second car with good parts can run around 10k.
The stock block record (stock rods pistons and crank) is held by a guy in Florida running high 8 second 1/4 mile.
Once you start running faster then 9.00 your cost goes up to around 20+k
On my car I'm running stock rods with stock modified pistons and stock suspension. My goal is to run 9.90 @ 140MPH.

Thanks again for the kind words.
You're welcome! Great car. those other videos were cool too. Hah, I knew I recognized the look then! I figured it had to be just a similar car because I knew you'd just recently finished it but thought maybe it was a remake of a car you once owned. Thanks for the info!
