The box muffler might BE the balance tube.

Of course there will be. Who wouldn't want to sit a couple inches next to the 300 degree oil, a battery and a muffler or 3?

I thought street car just meant it had to have license plates. I better go back and read those rules....

This thing might weigh more than Rob's boat when it's done.....

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

v2.2 is looking real good!

Are you researching thermal and acoustical options for the exhaust system or are you just using 2 Vintage Air units and custom ear plugs?

Bummer about the seat.

Can't wait to see and hear the beast on track!

Maybe you shouldn't have ate so much on your cannon ball run.

You are going to cook with that exhaust and oil tank....

Dave, I have some pics somewhere with a guy that had a '70 Mercury Cyclone that was putting out 1000 hp with the exhaust running through the car..........I think I was able to save them from one of my lap tops that crashed. Need to dig those up.......ran with him at Sonoma. I have faint memories of that thing running up on me like a freight train going into turn 11 at Sonoma. BAD ASS!!
