New Cam Only Record! 10.344@ 128.20
HP Tuners and LG Motorsports do it again!!!
I spent most of friday and saturday prepping the car.. doing little things here and there to get it ready for today.. One of the things was taking out the light 3" aluminum driveshaft and putting in a steel driveshaft...
I estimate todays raceweight at 2820lbs.
I left this morning at 6:30am and arrived at US41 about 8:20.. I arrived at the gate with TO 5 on the car since last time and they just gave me the #5 card for time only which was cool. Take the car off the trailer, warm it up.. and prepare for the day..
Started out with tire psi hot 15lbs, shocks 1 in front and 3 in rear.
This is also the first time I have ever used the line lock or t-brake.. with a little focus it wasn't that hard..
First pass, good burnout, foot brake at 2000 rpm and go..
1.472 6.667@102.76 10.517@127.46 ... not bad
1.392 6.544@103.24 10.363@128.19 .. foot brake to 3000.. cool new record.
1.313 6.521@103.00 10.348@128.28 t-brake.. I 60'd so hard and panicked.. I couldn't see where I was going and short shifted 1-2 REAL quick.. DOH!!!!
1.325 6.517@103.24 10.346@127.91 t-brake.. Better shifting
1.368 6.523@103.24 10.350@127.82 t-brake
1.409 6.532@103.24 10.379@128.19 t-brake
1.392 6.554@103.17 10.377@127.82 t-brake
1.373 6.527@103.18 10.344@128.20 .. best of the day
1.426 6.572@103.00 10.400@125.71 .. fronts at 3.. somethign went wrong
1.380 6.562@102.21 10.417@124.26 .. fronts at 1.. something went wronger..
I think on the second to last pass my torque arm bent upward.. the launch felt weird I just thoguht I didn't hook..
Then, on the last pass i got major air.. felt good but didn't feel right on the big end.. little noisy in the back.. I thought I broke a tooth off the gear.. as I was coming to a stop the car starts shaking really badly and I wasn't sure what was wrong.. it felt like a misfire shake as well. I babied it back to the pits and got under the rear and looked for a while then I noticed the rear pinion pointing upward.. Torque arm is in my tunnel.. Put a nice dent in the tunnel as well that you can see on the interior.. Meh, I got what I wanted so I wasn't bummed at all.. and I didn't wreck either, thank god!!!
As long as I was lined up in the groove ok, the car felt safe all the way down the track, it didn't search at all!
Going from 10.98@119 stock internals to 10.34@128 with the following changes..
4L60E -> TH350
9" YTP 4400 -> 8" ATI 5500
3" Alum DS -> Steel DS
Stock Cam -> LG Motorsports G5X4
.. this cam is making insane amounts of HP.. I picked up a solid 9mph with the cam going through a 5500 converter and a Th350, and a steel driveshaft!!! LG MOTORSPORTS!!!!
I should have more pics and videos later as well.
I'd also like to add today was probably one of the most fun days I've had in a long while racing. I lined up against 01-z twice and we were neck and neck the whole time!!! It was very intense!!
Thanks Louis@LG Motorsports, Tom Dan Larry Jim@Speed INC, PSJ@LS1 Tech, 01-Z@MFBA and everyone else who has helped me with my car.. Thanks guys!
Another record back home in the MFBA.. GO CHICAGO!!!!!

MAC Chassis mount torque arm, It's very similar to the alston just no braces on the torque arm itself. I believe I am going to just buy a alston jobbie now.
I hope to be at cordova too!
Thanks guys!

I LOVE IT! I am so glad I went with the ATI 8" converter... It was a very tough decision but was definately worth it!!!!
Thanks to all those that gave the good advice regarding ATI's 8" verters!
