    From the end of last drag racing season, until the season starts up for most of us again in the Spring, what will you admit to doing to change/upgrade your ride?

    Here's what I'll admit to:

    Last run of the season was 11.750 at 123.05 mph. Stock internals SRT-8, but with 175HP shot of nitrous, full exhaust mods, and the Predator.

    Here's what's coming:

    [​IMG]

    Why yes - yes that is 100 more HP via nitrous.

    What? You say my halfshafts will surely break?
    [​IMG]

    Nope. No they won't break.

    Rough details:

    Front wheels: Skinnies plus M&H Frontrunners.
    Rear wheels: 15 pound forged 17" racing wheels plus 25.5" tall D.O.T. slicks.

    Triple staged nitrous, peaking at 275 hp.
    1000HP halfshafts through PPP.

    Drag racing rear suspension coilover package complete.

    RealTune's Race manifold with external wastegate, Turbonetics evo gate, 255 pump, s2 injectors, 24.5x8.5 M&H slicks and maybe getting around to installing my dtec fcbc. I'd also like to get a ported intake mani, lightweight battery, scan gauge, lightweight 15's for the new M&H's and a few other things before the start of the season!
