bigBri how much did the built motor and TT setup run you? I may be looking to head into the same direction as you without having boost set to generate 700hp....

I know you have camber arms...
I have stock axles...and the 1.70 60' was on stock camber arms with 1.5 degrees negative camber per side. It should hook even better now that I have the camber zero'd out, but I haven't been back to the track.

Thanks man.. your car is pretty tight too.. Definately a lot better looking than mine..
I ended up parting the car out, after going through 3 gearboxes, 1 ring/pinion, and a set of axles. The car cut a 1.55 60ft on 34.5x9" slicks, but never got a full pass, because of traction issues, and broken driveline parts.I'm actually building/restoring another S13 (89 Coupe) as we speak.. It will recieve a 4 liter (stroked) VQ, with cams/nitrous and all of the bolt on goodies. I'll have to post some pics as it progresses. Right now, it's stripped down to the bare chassis, being prepped for paint.
Anyway.. nice ride man..
