SAM SS goes 9.17 @ 154 - on MOTOR!
Congrats to the crew at School of Automotive Machinists. Last week they took the hugger orange SS down to a 9.17 @ 154 on motor alone!
And, the best part is that it was done without C5R parts! Yep, this LS6 based engine was still using factory 243 casting LS6 heads. Amazing!
At the Year One event this past weekend, they went 9.3 @ 146 with an easy launch, running approx 3280 lbs raceweight.
Anyone from SAM, please confirm the numbers for me, thanks!
Good job Judson and the SAM crew!

That car is crazy, I got vid of it going down the track, it pulled so hard. He would tap the rev limiter in first and fight and peddle it down the track. Its really clean too! I think he blew it up on his last pass though.

It was 9.17 @ 154 in Houston on Wednesday testing for the commerce race (DA was around 1600 or so for that pass if I remember correctly).
Motor is just your average sleeved 427, with some pretty decent heads on it
Oh and a $hit load of RPM
Not bad for a 3200 lb car.
