Update


Well as you can see I’ve been busy. I made the decision about 18 months ago to make the build a Pro Street instead of a cruiser.

I installed a ported Lsa blower and ported snout with a 102mm throttle body. An 8 rib drive system and an 10% over driven crank pulley. The crank is pinned and the cam was replaced with a Texas Speed Supercharger cam. Of course the nitrous system is still on it. Don’t know what sort of hp it will make but it should be plenty.

I re-tubed the wheel wells 6 more inches to make room for the 15 1/2” M/T tires mounted on 12” American Racing salt flat wheels. The 9” rear axle was re- narrowed down to 37” and new 4- link suspension was built. Now there isn’t room for the mufflers so they need to be turned at a angle.
