The build of "Wh4t3v3rs"

[Wh4t3v3rs]

what made you choose Calvert over say VASFab?

I guess the deciding factors were familiarity and that Calvert racing offers a leaf spring upgrade for bigger horsepower. I know VAS has incredible 60 foot times, but Calvert Racing is doing that and putting cars in the 6's. My goal is 11-1200HP. No way to make that stick with stock leafs....we have a 68 Camaro thats dealing with stock springs and the inconsistencies. Its just my opinion though! I know everyone has their preferred way of going fast, but I've never built anything this fast so I'm just watching and seeing what works and what doesn't, forming an opinion and plan, and then swing for the fence......

Makes sense 100%, I myself am not going for that lofty of a HP goal, only 300-400hp so I am unsure if I will be using traction bars.

Makes so much power that it pulled the studs right outta the axles!?
Lol!

What gears are you going to run in this monster?

That's what my last Mustang had. Nothing of this caliber. Probably laughable to you, a low 11 second street car. It was fun for me though.
