Glad to see you back in a car Curt. Hopefully see you at the Valley someday next year.

I just watched the video and got thinking, the track officials must have **** when you went 8's @ 150+ and didn't even have a cage.

Nice job Curt! I was wondering what you had been up to over there. Man, that still makes me so mad about the foxbody platforms. Yours has full interior, and it is still 2880 RW, mine is gutted by every bit of the definition, and I still only got it down to about 3375RW.

I swear if my car ever noses into a wall or something, I will be buying a foxbody roller probably the next day. lol

I'd rather get my Nova to 2800lbs. I'd have to cut the body off though.....
Then people would just laugh at my epic fail for using an Edelbrock lntake manifold......😜

Seriously though. I'm guessing This isn't Kurt's first rodeo with LS turbo power. Like I said earlier, impressive.

I was very surprised by the weight of the car. It will probably gain about 100lb over the winter though.

It's a 4" downpipe, no muffler.

If you're at all concerned with the additional weight of the cage, then stick your 4.8 rotating assembly in an aluminum 5.3 block...

For being a street car, does the lack of inner fenders throw a bunch of **** up on the engine while you drive?

Cool radiator configuration, assuming that it works properly.

Congrats on the timeslip, sir. Straight impressive.

Not to worried about weight, If I can stay around 3000lb rw I'll be happy.

Awesome! Give me hope for my fox with an identical set up.


How much boost/power was in that pass?

Around 22-24 psi. Not sure on power, it's never been on a dyno.
