  • Vehicle Overview

    We started with a Dart Pro Big M block and stuffed in 14.1:1 Wiseco slugs. A Star vacuum pump helps keep the windage to a minimum in the Moroso aluminum pan. Big Dart CNC'd heads, massaged single plane from Profiler prepped with a two stage Induction Solutions X275 set up rounds out the top end. We are using the Dominator EFI system from HoIley that helps make all the power which flows into a PTC convertor then onto the ATI TH400 that gets automatically controlled by the M&M shifter. Then on through a PST carbon fiber driveshaft to a DTS Dana 60 with 3.73 gears, Strange full spool, Strange pro race axles and outfitted with Aerospace components disc brakes. Mickey Thompson ET/Street Radial Pro 275/60/15 aid in traction along with Caltrac mono leafs and Santuff shocks at all 4 corners.

    Future Plans

    Have Fun and update to a 25.5 cage so I can actually use the car with everything it has, or maybe lower the compression add a turbo or two and put it back on the street.
