Anyone interested in the rest of the build pictures? I stopped posting them to get results up, but I will continue if there is interest. 
Still lots of little things to look out for that I haven't pointed out to this point.
AAAAHHHHHH Yeah...

Saturday night, decent track prep for a "grudge" event. 1.21 60', 5.51 @ 124 1/8th, 8.73 @ 155 1/4!! DA was "only" in the 1600' range so it was far from mineshaft air. Who needs a big 572 to get it done? Making lots of torque...wheels up 6-8" to about the 45-50' mark set down so easy that you could not tell it was up. I will upload some pictures to keep this thread moving along. Will pick up where I left off. There will be no pictures posted of the car with the primered hood and scoop. I will paint those in the next couple of months so it looks good for the upcoming race season.

It will be my last one also. I don't like having to lock my stuff up to go up for a pass. To many people in my pit space "eyeballing" my stuff. Think I'm going to have a holster sewn into my fire suit for my Sig.

Amazing watching some of these "grudge" cars run 4.4 1/8th mile times with safety equipment that is inadequate for 10 second and slower cars.

Got to love Houston Motorsports Park  Although I will say I had the same experience and feeleing at Houston Raceway Park as well. We used to go test the turbo car there. Sounds like the car is running great!

I am very happy with it now. Probably exceeding what it should do.
This was not in Houston though...these events are making their way to Dallas. This is the second big grudge event they have had in the last three weeks. I'm hoping it's not a trend.

Good luck. It seems to be getting more popular than ever. I hate the crying that goes with it but I have fun grudge racing. I'm not far from Chicagoland. Checkout Chitown KOTS sometime lol gets a little out of hand but very fun.
