Well gang I can tell you this about my car. It is STOCK as Reg and Tony built it in Reg's shop with the standard Tremec 3550 and the regular 325 BMW suspension and the Ford crate 392 storker motor (430 hp).

All I have done to the car was move the tremec shifter forward in the frontal position for better shifting, changed the rear end gears to 3:93 (80/20 version), which cost me $490 from Bemmer World (from the 3:45's that came stock in it), then I added some slotted rotors and better pads and the 17"wheels and Hoosiers.

No changes to the suspension or motor. All as it came from Reg in Florida.

Oh yes, I did replace the rear transmission mounting bracket to a heavier gauge pieve of angle iron for a bit stronger rear mount.

I am not a ringer, just an old guy having fun with a new toy. I ran in HDPE Group 1 just for fun and didn't have a transponder. I had no idea my car would have run that fast otherwise I might have rented one just to check the times. All I can tell you is that I kept running up the ass of everycar on the track in every turn. My Backdraft was simply out handling the others in front of me.

As for speed. I can assure my car with the tremec and the 3:93 gears will do the 130 and then some. I have hit 140 several times already and ran out of road for more.
