Do you have a dyno (engine or chassis) sheet for the motor or time slips from the track? Do you have any pictures of the bottom of the car? Is the paint original?
I do not have a dyno sheet. The 500 HP is based off a similiar engine that the engine builder had just finished and dynoed, a carburated version of my fuel injected engine. I can give you all the detailed specs if you would like (heads, cam specs, etc.). As far as the quarter mile time is concerned, that was taken with a stopwatch and a 1/4 mile marking on the road. I didn't get the car tuned until last fall so I wasn't able to get to the strip. I plan on taking it to the Greatlakes dragaway this spring if I do not sell it by then and then I will have a time slip.
For pictures, I do not have one of the bottom other than a picture on my cell phone. This is unfortunate because the bottom of the car is the best looking part. I should be able to get the car up on the lift this weekend to take some pictures. You are always welcome to come and take a look at it yourself as well.
I appreciate the offer but easier said than done, I am a little over 1,500 Miles away I take it there would be no issues with the car making a trip of that length?
I am confident that there would be no issues taking it that distance. Being a mechanical engineer I am very meticulous and methodical, especially when building cars and fabricating parts.
