GM has a 1200 cobalt that runs 6's or better if I recall, which uses the parts that are listed in the GM Ecotech handbook.

And why are the tires to big in the back??
And I almost guarantee that, that car does NOT need a parachute.

Expect much faster ETs and MPHs out of this car once we get it dialed in (an no, we do not need wheelie bars to run fast). stay tuned
Congrats on the pass! Don't mind the trolls, there seems to be alot on here. I'm local, I'd like to go to gateway the next time you do and see you run!

Oh well, like I said "I almost guarantee it doesn't need a chute(it barely did
)". I wasn't trying to discount the car, it just seemed like it needed other parts to legally run that fast. Either way, BADASS car and welcome to the site and good luck this season, I know of at least one fast HB in the same class.

LOVE the car, great work!
Am I correct in assuming you kept the 2.2 block, just used the head from GMPP(ported lsj 2.0)?
One of my goals is to to have a track car like yours, simply beautiful! Keep up the good work, can't wait to see your progress!
