Default Re: 10K for a drag car

Soarer is a heavy luxo barge though..
A lot can be done to reduce weight..
Early big rod 1UZ engine is good for 500 rwhp..

Keep in mind a std SOHC or TOHC 4.0 Ford 6 can handle over 400 rwkw
on E85 ...Alittle of a grenade with std rods..
Ford 6 engines are FAR cheaper to re-build by about 1/2 the budget...
Trust me..
A powerglide or T400 would complete the combo.. For reliability / consistency...
