Since I lost two cylinders in the car last fall, I've decided to upgrade my engine from the Stock PI/Bullitt swapped 2V to a Built 2V. As of yet I've not got any of the engine parts completed but I have gotten some of the things completed on the car to support whats about to come.

I still plan to drive it when I want on the street but am setting it up for some serious track duty as well. Power Windows, locks, seats, AC, stereo and all that good stuff is still essential and it will be maintained. Other things I have upgraded to make it more efficient and able to handle the expected power output.

Hopefully I can place a couple pics here of whats completed so far.

Pic 1: Trunk Mounted 10 Gallon Fuel cell & Aeromotive Electric Pump

Pic 2: The completed trunk area, Battery Box, Kill switch, Fuel Cell, Fuel cell surround, and of course the Nitrous bottle.

Pic 3: The reworked custom Subframe connectors, and reworked painted DS loops. Front safety loop still needed repainted in this pic but it is now completed.

Pic 4: X pipe back exhaust, Bullitt Mufflers, mandrel bent exhaust tubing over the subframe bars that run out in front of the rear tires at the sides. All in 3".

I still think you're a loon for your projected non NAWS power output.:P

Geez Mark, you got an extra 16 Valves and a nice ol Supercharger on top that thing and you are skeeered of this big kitty? Whats the world coming to? Besides, it really doesn't look scary to me like this. Makes me unhappy though!


Chris, maybe I am and maybe I'm not but I'm still shooting for 400-450HP at the wheels on motor and 550-600HP on the juice with this built 2V Teskid Aluminum block.

If those high 11's with 350WHP before are any indication of what it may do at the track, I'll be interested to see what it does at these new power levels when its completed.

One things for sure, a bar will be in order in my near future.
