That's a pretty impressive #'s. How will the rest of the drivetrain hold up to that power? I could see potential problems with the IRS or clutch if you're running slicks or drag radials at those power levels. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

All that power will do you no good if you can't hook it up. I've seen 3 Vettes(2 C5 Z's and 1 C6 Z) hit the wall at our track in the last 2 years running street tires and not hooking. Not a pretty picture.

Sure it'll be a drag car. It'll be a drag having a car like that and not taking it to the track. Not racing a car like that would be like having a hot wife and not >>>>> her.
