sandbum and foxstang,
Welcome to the coolest (hottest) LSR site on the web. This place is full of great people and a few fantabulous ones too.
Ask questions and take the answers with a grain of salt. I would like to hear more of your thoughts on the ride you are planning.

Ok, well you guys dont seem to be that bad
Here is a better intro...
I have no experience other than always being interested in the sport (i guess you could call it).
I have great big grand plans in my head i will hash a little out here...
I've owned my 90 GT now for about 6yrs, before that my father bought it new (pretty cool). Its gone through so many changes i dont know what the hell i was thinking, haha. First in 04 i put a 100 shot on it and drove it on the dragstrip some, realizing that with it as my only car=bad idea. Took the gas off and sold it. About 2years later i put a single turbo on the car (pre-bought kit) eventually ended up scrapping that idea after messing up the stock trans(stock motor still too). Ended up making 378/491 on a dyno(12psi). Then the craziness ensued. I rebuild damn near everything on the car with no prior experience on doing any of it. I'll post a link at the bottom with pictures everyone can look at. Few highlights...10pt cage, forged 358w, high port heads, f-cam, twin 57mm turbos, a/w intercooler (btw anyone looking for a a/w intercooler should check out chiseled perf. awesome work and guy), FAST XFI ecu, tko600 trans, twin diskclutch, blah blah blah. Was very fun to build and i ended up getting it runnin back in the summer of 07. Then realized it was not want i wanted and the little bit of debt i had was not worth it, took the entire car apart and sold the parts. Never even turned up the boost past 13psi, which was evil power. My best guess is at 9psi it was putting down about 550, 13psi should have been about 650 with more tq. Regardless, took it all apart, not what i wanted.
So we are where i am at now, with this...
Here is a link to all the pictures of the build
http://www.fourhorsemenperformance.com/photos/Had it forsale ever since parting it out, so it's been sitting for about a year. It's still here and has given me some time to think, i dont really want to sell it. I know it inside and out, cant say that about anything else i would buy.
So back to why i am here, Living in North Carolina we have the maxton mile. Well i want to look into turning the 90 GT into a record breaking car. the plans i have running around in my head go something like this...
4.6 DOHC, twin-turbo, pump gas
6speed
IRS(independent rear suspension)
The rest i am leaving up to the class rules and mph rules.
I want to take a shot at pushing it into the 200mph zone. So i want to build the car to rules of 200+, even if it doesnt make it, piece of mind going 180mph would be REALLY nice.
What i have found so far is that i will be in the "D" class, but the rest i cant figure out(got to buy a rules book).
Body modifications? Changes class?
Cage?
Wheels?
Hell anything anyone wants to say or see in this, at this point its an idea that i will move on soon.
I'm graduating this month with my masters, moving, getting a job(i hope), house, marriage, all that is soon, so this is kind of a backburner item for now that i will take the time to plan out.
and this is my A-B car right now...for sale also, but changing my mind on it also, go figure? haha.
There you go. cheers if you read all that
