Whatever she makes, is what she makes... But I would think if all goes well, 700+ HP on E85, and closer to 800 HP on Q16 VP Race gas should be realistic (the race gas tune will be next year).

did you upgrade your tranny gears to a dog box or is it stock?

That's one thing that's still stock on my car. Along with the axles and driveshaft.

I have a spare tranny in the garage, but at 550 WHP and countless AWD burnouts, the stock tranny has done pretty good so far. We will see how it holds up... Also, I would have liked to get in on the CF drivershaft group buy, but my build ended up going over budget as it is...

Limitless Budget?! HAHA! I'm married, own a house, and have a kid on the way. With a baby on the way, finances have been a topic of discussion as of recent, and I assured my wife I would only spend what I had to, to finish this most recent 42r project. Basically I had planned of going no holds all out when I started this, but halfway through the project I found out I was having a kid, and I've kinda toned it down a bit since then. I'm not sacrificing the quality of the build by any means, but stuff like a CF driveshaft, dogbox tranny, and few other things are further down the priority list now, so they will be done on a need to be done basis, aka, if the shit breaks, then I'll replace it. :)

Even then, if anything big does break this year, it will have to wait till next year until I have the wife's approval to fix it... If you are married, you understand... :wink:

But you have to admit, the wifey has been more willing to let you finish then some would have, given the situation.

so do you plan on tracking the car? I would love to see a video clip of a 700+hp all trac doing some laps.

This year it will be quarter mile only, but next year I plan on doing some runs at Miller Motorsports Park also ( http://www.millermotorsportspark.com ). Just don't have any good track tires yet. But I do happen to have a set of wrinkle walls sitting in my garage to hopefully help me lay down some good 1/4 mile times... :wink:
