    It's running! (video)

    Welp, i guess i'll start making it over to this board! I got the motor running, fuel system is good for 1200-1300 RWHP. I'll be ordering the tranny and turbo parts around the end of the month.

    Are you really going to be pushing over 1000 HP?

    If so, www.myraceshop.com has the axles you'll be needing...no matter what trans you end up with, but I warn you that they are on the pricey side of things.

    What about the transaxle? Will that be a weak point? Is there an HD version of that too?

    I am still working the tranny out. I'll know something in 2 weeks. I recorded that on my iPhone usuall it's hd. I can grab my hd camera and record if you want a better video. I noticed a pin hole leak in the heater hose, so I have to repair that first and I can not get to it until this weekend. I do not have time to work on it during the week.








    Crash, I already got a quote from you .
