The chassis is from TCI in California.  It has a very ridged and extensive triangulated cross frame to handle the torque of a ZZ 502 with a 250 HP Nitrous system.  Centerline Warrior wheels with 225x15  tires up front provide good traction. 

Independent front suspension is double wishbone  with coil-over adjustable shocks,  anti-roll bar with rack and pinion steering.  The rear frame is narrowed to handle the 16.5 x 31 Mickey Thomson Sportsman tires on 12 inch Centerline Warrior wheels.

A modified panard linkage maintains the  rear ends lateral position.  Front and rear anti-roll bars keep it flat when cornering.  The rear view shows the fully boxed side rails and extensive triangulated cross bracing.  The chassis does not twist, there is no torque steer which was expected with this much power.  Things have sure progressed!

The 4 bar link rear suspension has plenty of adjustment holes and heim jointed bars to set the launch as desired. The 9 inch Ford rear has Positraction and Summers Brothers 31 spline axels to handle the 567 ft-lbs of torque without the Nitrous!  The rear coil-overs allow the ride height to be fine tuned.  With 53% of the weight on the rear wheels the traction is excellent (at least on warm days!)

The ability to dial out torque steer was even a surprise to us!

No she isn't a "Canyon Carver" but it does cruise well.  Four wheel disk brakes with power assist stop the car.  With engine set back; help from aluminum heads, manifold, water pump, small geared starter, battery in the rear etc; with the heavy 9 inch rear and sedan body, there is 53% of the cars weight on the rear wheels! 

The Chevy ZZ 502/502 is an ideal high torque engine.  It idles well and when you put your foot down it deliveries instantly (well when you finally get the carb right--see How to Modify a Holley.)  It is not difficult to assemble, just bolt on the 37 pieces that come in a large wooden crate. 

You just need a good torque wrench and the rest is a snap.  The wooden shipping crate provided an engine stand during assembly.  The bottom end comes all together so you are only putting on the aluminum heads, pushrods, rockers, manifold, water pump, starter, distributor etc. 

The engine has forged crank,  rods and pistons; 4 bolt mains and a roller hydraulic cam.  The cam is aggressive  (lift: .527” Intake, .544” Exhaust) (Duration @ .050”: 224° I, 234° E) but  idles at 900 rpm.    Power is transferred to a modified TH 400 transmission with a 2400 RPM stall converter.

INTERIOR

The interior compliments the exterior with two tone leather and matching flames!  The roll bar and Simpson 5 point harnesses fit the Pro Street theme and provide security secure when  making a 3.5 second  0-60 banzai runs. 

The rear has a "Stereo Wall" replacing the seat.  two 300 watt amps power the main speakers and sub woofer.  

Borla stainless  muffles are not very loud until your foot is on the gas. 

The Dash Extension was custom built to cover all of the plumbing from the Vintage Air system.  To keep the engine compartment a clean as possible even the dryer was placed inside the car. The Dakota Digital dash is needed since there is little room behind the upper dash panel.
