Formula is on the ground, scalled, and ready for dyno

I got the car scaled by Madman and the initial setup on all his new suspension, and ready to get tuned. I have a few odd loose ends to clear up then off to the dyno. Lots of changes since the times in my sig. I should be tuned in and ready to see what I can do at the shootout. Here is the way it sits. It had been raining and I just backed it up into my shop so no picking apart the shots. Also they are big and I haven't resized them so I'm just putting the link.

I rebuilt the 355 still using the same parts, stock crank, eagle rods, ross pistons. changed the Cam to a Custom Futral Motorsports grind. Swapped over from lt4 intake to a converted SBC and top mount 4bbl throttle body. Got rid of the opti and went to a rear mount distributor. Lightened the car up a bit. Changed over my suspension to all madmans stuff and a wolf rear sway bar. Thats basically the simple explanation of everything..lol. Hoping to have to upgrade cage soon

Maybe so now...it could be made street-able with a few little thing. But why worry about it when I have plenty of other toys to play with on the street. Its been street-able and street legal for years and I rarily put in on the road anymore so I really didn't worry about that issue. It was street legal for the 10.3 runs if I would have wanted to put it out there.
