Pete,
Those are some fantastic times and speeds out of a stock displacement NA LT5 motor.
What tires were you running?
With those hard launches what are you doing to keep from breaking spindles, u-joints, and half-shafts?
Are you running stock spindles?
And what gear ratio are you planning to go with?
Last weekend I broke the right spindle on mine on the first pass I tried at the strip. Now I'm in the process of putting it back together and would appreciate any advise you can give on how to make the drive train more reliable for occasional strip use.
BTW I had those skinny A-molds on you sold me a while back with some new Hoosier radials on and they sure looked good on the car.
