Yes! Drag radials, no/32, sticky compound...

Do you think it will it ever need any kind of diff brace?

I'm not sure, I would think the polyurethane will do the job. But, I'm sure a brace wouldn't hurt.

Rods come in Friday, after I'll send the block off. The engine will be built later. I'll have plenty of pictures.

Looks like my old setup, with a few minor upgrades. Upgraded fuel system and a slightly bigger snail.

Of course, it would be an on going project; due to the fact the all parts have to be fabricated or RND'd. This project "RDX" will go on forever.

No I totally understand. Good for you that you have the patience and passion for all this stuff. You are totally right though, almost zero support for this unicorn. Such a shame too.

I do check on and off, here and there. Wondering if in a year you will still be doing things lol.

Good luck!

Yup, still going strong. Got held up there for a bit; however, back on track with the tuning.

Excellent, but internal trans supports?

Please, give us the reference parts code and stalling. 1,000 1,500 2,000 rpm.

This +

This =

Heart attack!!!

So, I did this mod and holy crap; can you say crazy fast!!!!! Currently boost'n 22.3 psi on my current setup and very happy! I plan to get a spare transmission and send it out to level 10, because I'm sure I'm deep into the 400hp range if not low 500's. SMH.... It's just crazy, thanks to all for the help and support.

I think I missed it, but did ken post current power numbers, or track times? He's probably super busy, I feel like his build died down.

SMH head, bra..... I'm sure the build will never die. Yes, it's super busy this time of year. It usually slow's up a bit after school starts. So, I'd say mid September I'll have a little time for play.

This is my life on the weekend....

Lol bro smh stands for shake my head....but anyways I am excitedly awaiting more improvements! By died, I meant slowed down a lot, I guess I have to keep in mind that this project started a while ago and it takes a lot of time.


Btw I have said it before and will say it again, your wife is INCREDIBLY talented with cakes. I would legit have her make my wedding cake and ship it here if it was possible.

Yeah, trying to rush and reply. Haha, but yeah been super busy. Lol, would be nice to freeze and ship some cakes out. I'm pretty upset about that shoe cake (Jordan retro 12 "Flu Games"), because I was unable to cop a pair when they dropped.

Hang in there, will be posting more stuff here soon, and hopefully another member will be going aftermarket turbo soon. Things are about to get interesting!

I think freezing and shipping is possible but very cost prohibitive. Oohh you have piked my interest! This is going to be good!

What happened to the front lip? You still going to do it?
