pretty clean, man!:thumb:

Dang man. Looks nice :thumb:

Nice!

Very nice Frank. Be sure to post some updates when you get the nitrous brackets done, where are the solenoids going to be mounted?

Wow, that is awesome!

Very nice Frank. Be sure to post some updates when you get the nitrous brackets done, where are the solenoids going to be mounted?

Here's a picture of the mounting before the engine came out. They'll be mounted pretty much the same, except the brackets are painted now, and the solenoids have been cleaned up.

Well thats a lot prettier than my 355!;)

Looks pretty good Frank, but these pic's don't do it justice. There are so many little details you have done that you don't show in the pics...

I just can't wait to see it again, sorry I wasn't around to help you put it in...

OK...A few new ones.

Lookin damn good man :thumb: :bow:

dammm looks good

I cant wait to see a video of this car. :bow: You have out done yourself Frank.

If you don't mind me asking how much did that setup run. The reason I ask is cause I'm gearing up for a new motor build and I'm looking to be in the 9's on the juice as well.

Jim,
I'd have to sit down and figure it up. $6000 is about a fair estimate for the engine/machining. The nitrous system has all the best stuff, too. NX "maximizer" digital controller, NX full throttle TPS switch, NX 150 "wet" EFI kit. NX GenX-2 kit, and an MSD digital spark retard box.
This rebuild is in the neighborhood of about $10,000 total...With all the engine stuff, suspension, and interior. Then again, I didn't cut any corners, and I'm pretty particular about everything.
