yeah that thing is bad ***. but its a really tight fit i dont think there is a way to twin turbo that thing. and the reason why it wasnt running well was cause of the axles they didnt have another set so they were just slipping it and taking it easy out of the hole.

What a waste... With all the work it took to get it in the front, they could have had a faster, simpler, cheaper car, and put it in the rear...

I guess you weren't there to watch. That car was granny shifted the whole way through the 1/4 mile and still ran 12s. Once they get some NITRO axles, that car is easily capable of low 10s, maybe even 9s.

My point is, putting the drivetrain in the back would be less time and money, yet a faster car because of better weight distribution, with the same engine.

Faster car, same engine, seems like a no-brainer, unless it's a rules thing.
