You can see how it blocks off the sides where the engine is, but the front is completely open. Headlight out, and it's a straight shot into that filter

I've always gone between the JMB and Wizaired, but I'm definately going with the latter at this point

Also, what are the largest sized drag radials that could fit on my car, width wise? Without having to roll the fenders, and also where would be the best place to get a built trans? Or should I just piece together some of the parts that I will need?

Hopefully I will be getting the VS camshaft for christmas, there has been few updates because I've been waiting for christmas money, etc. Also, valve covers are ready to be painted, just waiting for a little bit of warmer weather

I wouldn't use drag tires without the built trans. The stress from the launch would grenade you.

TripleEdgePerformance.com is a good place for the trans.

I've heard that from time to time, the price seems a bit steep however. I hear the name Tim King being thrown around a lot but I never really have seen a site of his or anything like that. I'm thinking I might use my graduation money this year for a trans, but my better judgement says to save it for the $85,000 I'm going to be in debt for after college. Decisions, decisions

Ordered some new parts, we'll see when they show up nothing too big, you'll have to wait and see!

Small update, getting ready to have my heads cleaned up at a machine shop, just gathering a few parts for that. Just need the springs and the rest is up to the machinist
