Sweet!!

So I take it you're no longer trying to keep it "streetable".

Re: MAPerformance FDSM Progress Pics
 

lookin good guys! can't wait to see it in action!

Re: MAPerformance FDSM Progress Pics
 

Oh it's streetable, still has power windows behind that door skin ;)

Re: MAPerformance FDSM Progress Pics
 

Can you add swingouts and still have the cage be "legal" or whatever the parlence of our times is for the ET's you're expecting?

Re: MAPerformance FDSM Progress Pics
 

You know I'm not really sure, but this definitely isn't a DD so I will just have to pry myself in and out on the weekends lol. What concerns me most is that we have to move to a funny car cage if we go quicker than 8.50 which will apparently be a nightmare in this chassis based on wheelbase and seat position :(

Re: MAPerformance FDSM Progress Pics
 

Well, you better not do that then. :D

Re: MAPerformance FDSM Progress Pics
 

Haha unfortunately we have some pretty aggressive goals for this year ;)

Re: MAPerformance FDSM Progress Pics
 

So is it the same turbo/engine setup?

Re: MAPerformance FDSM Progress Pics
 

yes it is from what I hear, maybe more boost, but more rubber to plant, better mounts for the motor so it doesn't flex, half concreted block, etc.

Re: MAPerformance FDSM Progress Pics
 

I dunno if it's just the camera angle or what, but it doesn't look like there's much clearance between those cage bars and the rear tires. Is there enough room there for suspension travel and tire stretch?

Re: MAPerformance FDSM Progress Pics
 

That's looking pretty sick guys. Good luck this year.

Re: MAPerformance FDSM Progress Pics
 

Good question on the cage interfering with the tires.

Re: MAPerformance FDSM Progress Pics
 

Looking good guys, nice progress made since I was there last!

Re: MAPerformance FDSM Progress Pics
 

Must be the camera angle as the tires aren't that close to the cage, but I see where it looks that way lol. Also, the block has not been hardblocked ;) And yes we have made a few changes to the setup in hopes of adding a little more power...

Re: MAPerformance FDSM Progress Pics
 

I thought you had said the Magnus was going to be cast. Looks purdy though!

Good luck with it all! If it was hardblocked, wouldn't that really kill it's streetability?

Billet ;) Everything from the plenum base down is one solid piece of aluminum...

That's some amazing sheet metal work, wow. That magnus intake is goregous as well.

Re: MAPerformance FDSM Progress Pics
 

Wow, that looks freaking nice. Maybe I should do that to my evo? :D
