So who is going to hit 200mph with the LSx....Kempf, Major, Turley, Thomas, Fereday???


Oh and I already know that Kurt did it with Moran's Pro-mod car.

In my opinion, several of these cars would already be at 200 mph if there wasn't such a high stall required when the turbo is spooling up. The converter slips all the way down the track.

Hopefully anyone thats running a bigger turbo with less or equal performance to what they ran last year has looked closely at their converter. How many times can you spool a 1200 hp car against the converter before it needs to be replaced?

Major has been 192/193
Kempf has been 191 on what I think is a medium boost level
I've been 191 and on a pass that would have been 195 on 7 cylinders if we ran it out the back door.
Fereday has been 193

Phil or Major, Major's running twin 88's, and both of your cars are out and running good. I could see Tom running up there too but I'd think Major's twin 88's could easily run 205+ mph.

All I can say is the Northern folks better get it together. There is a certain twin turbo LSX drag radial car getting ready to roll out of my shop.

We've been 190 with our little LS2's from ERLperformance with more to come. This is the same block I ran last year with over 100 passes in 07 and now approaching 50 for this year with no issues. LSX block can eat a dick sandwich for all I care.. Oh yea and It's some 70 pounds lighter.

I hope a 10.5 car will be doing it in the next 7-10 days.We've dealt with a number of issues in the 7 trips we've made to the track this yr.

We didnt break anything Friday and my tuner is getting a handle on the AMS1000 and backing into the tuneup.We've got 10 lbs on the brake now and it went 1.18 60' on 5 lbs earlier this yr.It's gonna fly,I've already went 4.80's with little boost.

I don't care about 200mph, I just want to get good gas mileage and keep the paint shiney!
