We fired off the Drag S13 yesterday.

The rear has a ford 9":

The motor is a 406ci chevy small block with "lots of fast" in it.

We're aiming for next week to make our first pass. I'm sure it's gonna take a few weeks to get some shake down runs out of the way...but we'll post times asap.

Oh damn, alot of people on this forum aren't supporters of cross breeding.

But I myself am. That thing is awesome. I'm not a huge fan of drag but it's quite impressive when someone builds a nice drag car. I'm tired of seeing all 'drift' setups.

Definetly get a video of some passes and dyno runs.

a titan engine? jesus, isn't that a 6 litre or a 5.7? that would be crazy torque....
Yeah, what riot just said. A 5.7 = 350. 406ci blows that away.

If you think a Titan engine would have tourque, imagine this.

Howdy everyone... Im the owner/builder of the car. Me and Riot have spend countless hours making this project right, so we appreciate the compliments. I estimate the motor to have 520-550 hp at the crank with around 600-650 ft/lbs of torque. We should be in the low 10's if not 9's with the car. We'll be having more vids coming soon, so keep looking for updates.

i love it and hate it at the same time. i totally respect the time, effort and money put into that project but absolutely hate the fact that is has a chevy engine and ford rear end. good luck though! im looking forward to dyno numbers and some 1/4 mile times.
