It does take a lot of skill not only to install but to buy those "right" parts at the right price. Maybe I was not seeing what you are after and that is my bad. You are trying to make a drag car not a track car or a high performance street car. In a drag car you really do not care about going around corners, stopping, cooling, safety, reliability or appearance just going from point A to point B.

I think you still need a clutch, a tuning platform, dyno time, tires and wheels, exhaust system, and a full turbo kit, 4K is a pretty tight budget. Maybe some with the skills and the connections could do it but it is not a given that anyone could do it.

For totally different type of build, that gives you an idea of what can be done to make the car all around better and not just a drag car take a look at this 23 part build.

No slicks. Not even drag radials.

Granted that dyno read super low. Betting it would have read more (400-450?) on others... but who knows.

Anyways, video here:

Awesome video! A lot of power up top and no wheel spin. Seems a shitload more power than in the 370hp or whatever it was.

 

Mate be prepared to spend 10,000, trust me you will end up paying someone else to do the work. Make that 12,000 to be sure.

 

Season is drawing to close(depending where you live). Looking forward to hearing about the epic 11 second pass. Dollars to donuts I bet you have a some mechanical issue bite you in the ass. Do get me wrong, the best of luck, I really want you to succeed.

 

Im hoping to go on the 25th. It will probably be my last chance. Dont get me wrong i am prepared for a broken diff if i take it to the track enough times. Lol

Is your car up and running now? You got a build thread?

 

Yes my car is running. Unfortunately i didn't make a build thread. It is at 461 whp at the moment. I am upgrading the clutch this weekend to a twin disc.

 

Is the new clutch included in your 4k budget?

 

Haha not anymore. When i posted that i didn't purchase the clutch. I found a good deal and jumped on it. Still under 4500 though.

and you are doing all the work yourself, and have all the tools necessary to do so. Great to have a lift when you are doing a clutch.
