We are running an SMG engine similar to that used in Steves own 9.3sec 1/4mile car and Mikees Scoobyclinic drag car. Turbo size is undecided yet, but our target is around 700HP without nitros:)

LOL, fair enough.

But is the car primarily going to be "race spec" or a road going kinda car.?

Have you fitted/painted the kit yourselves, or did you farm it out to a bodyshop?

I was just wondering what the time scale was for fitting the kit...:wonder:

My friend owns a bodyshop locally who we work with.

Timescale would be within a couple of weeks once the parts have arrived.... so looking at about a month- 6weeks :)
