ha possibly. I expect the car to be like turbocivs this year. High hp IRS manual trans cars deff like to destroy driveshafts, axles, and transmissions. But I will deal with that WHEN it happens as it is pretty inevitable once you start making big power. ---

What is cal work? Burnouts are for the street on street tires! I am not really interested in racing on the street. At the track I run slicks and hook up just fine. ---

I deff will still race the hell out of it on the track. Right now Chuck(firehawk) helped me out with a nice base tune to get it running. JD(turbociv) will prob have it on the dyno shortly. ---

Sorry for the lack of updates…but I just drove the car about 2-3 miles. 🙂 All went well. Needs an alignment. I have been working on the tune with the help of JD,LZ and NickW Car is running and driving great. ---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ---------- Also I would like to state again I FINALLY DROVE MY CAR!!!
