All work is being done by Texas Hot Rods in El Paso, Texas.

Last dyno runs and 1/4 mile times with old set up are 342rwhp and 351rwtq...Best N/A time is a 12.09@112mph. Best 1/4 mile N2O time with 125HP jet with #7 and #8 piston rings letting go is a 11.44@112mph. The motor let go just after the 1/8. On that run the 1/8 mile time was a 7.2@99mph.

*Bumpers gutted (weight savings)
*UPR polished aluminum radiator cover (added weight, but added bling)
