bigwill, now that is what I am talking about. Why change the engine when you haven't ran it yet though? Are those supposedly fast engines or just truck engines?

I too have the wolfpack radicals adapters and man have they saved me some headace. Without the use of the large 1/8 scale tires, there's no way that I could get the car(s) to stay hooked up at all. I also wouldn't mind building a belt driven car but there's no way for me to shorten the control arms to bring the tires in further to fit under a 235mm body. Are you making your own body for yours?
I have run the 30vg for testing purposes and i think its just to much power, anything over 1/4 throttle and all 4 of the foams break lose, doesn't matter what speed i am at. As for the body i am still running a 235mm body, and yes the tires stick outside of the body in the rear, but since this car will be only drag racing for right now its not a big issue to me, but i am working on trying to get a 1/8 scale body to fit.
