can't you have the gears cryo treated?
i know you could do that to the Suby gears and they handle up to 500whp!

Yes you can have the gears treated, however, for the cost I'd have a lot more piece of mind with the quaife gearset. About $3200 plus install.

Of course, that $5k pricetag might not be an option.

Hurry up and get some slicks before the 23rd.

Congrats Rick on almost 400 at the wheels. Very, very impressive.
I will not be surprised if your car traps at 115+ while just skirting into the 12's.
Flashback here......I remember seeing you way back at SZ02....after you threw in a regular SVT engine just to make the trip up after your original 3L mishap.

Hey I helped install that engine  Rick has most of the prep work done but we still dropped it in, hooked it up and was running in about 8 hours IIRC.
I offer PnP Heads for all durtec's details at PnPheads.com or jesse@pnpheads.com for details.

Step away from the crack pipe... Any street suspensioned front wheel drive with this much power would be lucky to get low 13's because of low traction at the start through probably the end of third gear. Even with slicks it would be hard pressed to run anything consistantly in the high 12's. It will, however, have one hell of a top end charge!!!  Luckily, Rick's more of a road racer anyway.
mid to high 12's are had with less than 300 whp srt's on a fairly consistent basis. In fact as soon as I get off my ass and buy some slicks I plan to be there myself, but I'll wait for a timeslip to go into any further detail about that.
For road racing it'll be flat out beast. Is this going to be a circuit car or an ameture enthusiast weekend warrior car? You should bring it to One Lap next year and try it out against the ol Lake-Effect-Racing Neon.
You said it, SRT's can get there. They have a better suspension and get it to the road better than a Contour can. Mid 12's at best.
