      No, it's not finished yet... but it is further along than a rusted out body and a rendering.

      Cool project.

      Who is the owner of this unfair car?

      What supercharger and engine combo are you going to use to get 1100 HP to the rear wheels? I would imagine this will be an alum. motor in the 400ci range, right? I have never seen the Harrop superchager break the 1k Hp mark.

      What about the suspension? I saw that you are using some AME products in the build...3 link, 4 link?

      I look forward to watching this car come together.

      Frank and I jointly own the car. There is no "customer" per se. The supercharger is a Kenne Bell 3.6L, and Jim Bell believes the 1100 hp figure is conservative. More details on the rest of the engine will come at a later time.

      Yes. Sorry, I'm not being coy. We'll show you all that very soon. We just need to get some photos together.

      I'm glad I've waited all this time to restore my car...
      Now, I'm getting more ideas and inspiration...
      I want to move to Florida and get a job at Prodigy , and sleep on a cot , and sweep floors...

      I like the " starter body" , it looks like one I used to own ...

      The press release is in the June issue of Super Chevy which is on newsstands starting today. I haven't seen it myself yet. I gotta get away from my desk and go pick up a few copies.

      8s in the quarter will be the toughest part.. 8s are exponetially harder than 9s..

      That trans will you be running?

      I agree. I told Frank we better get a few clutches ready... running an 8.99 might burn some up.

      The tranny is up in the air. We want to run the new M-800 from McLeod, but it may not be ready in time. We are working on a backup plan.

      Running a 8.99 is tough. Making it do it and be a reasonable street car is even tougher. Walking the line between race and cruiser is not an easy one and I bet you guys struggle with that over and over. I know I have. I'll be very interested to see if you can keep that car docile enough to really be pro-touring.

      Frank,

      How will you address all the safety concerns between the different organizations.

      Very true. The thing to remember is that the car will have two tunes: one on race gas and 22 psi to get 1100 hp, and another on pump gas and 7 or 8 psi and 700 hp. The 700 hp version is the cruiser/autocross/road racer. The 1100 hp monster is for going 8s and 200mph.

      Not only will the engine have two distinct modes, but the suspension will too.

      Great question. We don't have it all figured out yet, but the NASA rules seem fairly reasonable, as long as "standard" NHRA approaches to a roll cage are followed, and 1.75 tube is used (for a 3000-3500 lb. car). We are also consulting with some of the best racing safety folks in the business (remember the team of engineers that are helping), and hope to get a reasonable solution for that. A HANS device will very likely be a part of the 8.99 and 200 mph setups.

      Yep, but everything will have to be engineered for worst case scenario. Things you can get away with at 700 hp won't last 10 minutes at 1100. It's hard enough at 700 to make it happen. Things that can handle 1100 hp reliably may just compromise that cruise to dinner. I'm not sure I'd want to be in your shoes right now. I see lot's of head scratching. It's going to be fun to watch!! Best of luck to you guys.
