Stopped at IPS today. We are going with 5/8" lugs on the back wheels. Here is a pic of them (nickel is for scale). They are beefy!



The heads, head gaskets, and pistons are here. The 427 LSX block is on its way back from ERL where they did some machine work... they did some drilling for the larger head studs and some fine tuning on the block.

The new T&D rockers are here as well as the solid roller lifters and the new cam too.



We are expecting the Penske coilovers to show up any day.

Things should start moving quickly now.

Here are a couple pics of the parachute which IPSJeff posted on the IPS Flickr site.





Parachute bracket installation was done by PK Race N Rods in Millersport, Ohio

You mean your car being so fast that you need a parachute to stop in time?
