have decided to pursue a different direction in my quest for performance. I am going to set my sites on the Salt Flats and set my car to run there. I work with a group of guys that go there every year to run their Harleys on the flats. They have asked me to join, so I will be doing some changes to my car like having a quick change rear end to put on the car for better top end. I will also be doing some computer design work to come up with some options for better dynamics.
As for testing I have a closed runway at my disposal to do testing that is almost 2 miles long.
I think this will be fun!!!!

Sounds cool...you'll just need one hell of a high gearing to get the kind of top speed you'll need. Like....1.50's lol

Thats cool. I would look into a full underbody covering as my first mod to get rid of lift and help lower drag

might wanna switch out to a t-5 if not t-56 for the extra gearing..

Saleen kit. Best you can find without making your own kit.
A built one is. In last months MM&FF a Cobra owner who runs over 200MPH swaped his 5spd for the auto. |

Saleen kit my ass.With all the holes in it to plug it would be a nightmare. I am already low enough I might get a Boss Shinoda chin spoiler or maybe a Roush front valance. I will need to make special plugs for the fog light holes and lower grill vents.
As far as my tranny is concerned I will stay as it is My quest is to have fun with what I got with the exception of rearend gears. The community of land racers really help out a lot and I will be able to get a lot of stuff from them

how far away is that from you corey? sounds like fun... but it sounds like your cars gonna almost become a hassle to ride around on the streets with the gearing youre gonna need.

I will be testing at a closed runway next to my work it is over a miles long. I will keep the 7.5 and work on getting a get another rearend and something like a 2.08 gear set and work on having some custom plugs made for all the holes in the front of the car as well as some dome covers and steal rims or a set of moon rims. I am looking at getting Roush front valances. There are a lot of little things I need to do to get started
