    The goal is low 11's or high 10's in full street trim including AC and a stereo then as I shed weight low 10's. When we get it on the dyno for tuning we can decide on gears. I am expecting to need 4.88's or 5.14's with a 26" slick.

    This one is old it hasn't really changed. If I can get the drive train finished I would love to get it painted this winter but I would say there is probably only a 10% chance this year.
