Exclamation ***Late Model Racecraft re-sets 1/4 mile record***

We took Mr. Brown's LMR800 Twin Turbo C7 to Houston Raceway Park yesterday. Temperature outside was right at 99-100 deg. all day long and track temp was over 140 (148 to be exact). Not the best conditions for going down the track, but we got some good results anyway.

We have held the 1/4 mile record for some time now with a previous customer car. This car managed to better that record by running a 9.95 @144.46! We still have to some work to do on the Automatic transmission mechanically and on the computer side to fine tune this baby to run much quicker. With the power and MPH she ran, we have no doubt we think this car will be able to run closer to the 9.7-9.6s range in a littler better air once the trans is fine tuned.

Keep in mind this car is still utilizing a STOCK engine with Late Model Racecraft's Twin Turbo Package (LMR800). All that was added was a Circle D Billet Multi Disc Torque Converter (Thanks Chris).

A professional video was filmed and will take some time to edit, so expect to see that next week. Here is a quick video for now of the run.

Enjoy!

Sounds like he peddled it. Also sounds like there could be some major improvement on the shifting. Either way, get those two things under control and you'll have a monster on your hands. As if you didn't already. Nice work.

Agreed, and not leaving under much boost, but impressive. Git some!

How much boost did it take to achieve that on the stock bottom end?

Pretty impressive dudes.
