Thanks for the compliments. I've got some pretty lofty ET goals for this fall, but we'll just have to see what happens.

Go team RAMROD! Seriously though glad you're ironing out the details. Keep up the good work, and good luck meeting your goals.

Honestly, I'm a little scared of the build that I have planned for the twins...should make enough power to put it in the 7s

Here is a pic of my custom ice tank and fuel cell. The ice tank is approximately 5 gallons and the fuel cell is about 10.5 gallons. I'm either gonna go back later and polish or powdercoat them, but they will have to stay as they are for now due to time constraints. Thanks to Charles at G.R.E.A.D Tuning and Troy Cobb for their help making these.

Lined the ice tank/reservoir with insulation to prevent sweating

The spare tire well has been cut out and replaced with a flat sheet of stainless steel. I welded studs to it for mounting the ice tank and fuel cell and covered it with trunk liner.

So are you keeping the supercharger with the turbos, or have you decided to ditch the turbos altogether?

I'm still gonna eventually do the twin turbo build, but that will be an aluminum rodded epoxy-filled block race motor that I don't have the money to build just yet.
