STS kit, FMIC from TRTturbo, 42# Injectors, Wlabro Pump, Pacsetter LT's, ORY, Wrap frop Y-pipe back, Air Ride Tech Suspension, Wilwood 6-Piston Brakes. and a few other things

Im goning to run 8psi or so. I did a custom tune at the track with a handheld and a wideband..and in a few weeks ill get a dyno tune to see how I did.

Numbers from the track a best of 12.7 @ 117. and the next run I blew the gaskets out of the headers on 1,7, and 8 but still ran a 13. So just by going off the trap speed im thinking it should run a high 11 once I launch the car. I didnt take off too hard for fear of leaving the 10 bolt at the line.

If you have any spool issues some people are switching back to cast manifolds to hold more heat and help spool.

I noticed a giant difference between LT's with ORY vs manifolds + cats. I hear wrapping the exhaust works like a champ, planned to do that also, but too busy working on other "issues".

ORY = off road y-pipe so there are no cats on the car. As for spool time I blew out the header gaskets on pistons 1, 7, and 8. So I didn’t have the full back pressure to see how it was. But on the first run I did, once I got on it in 2nd gear I had 8psi by 4200rpm. And I am an automatic, so if there is a little lag…the rear might just last a week longer. I now have the “dead soft” gaskets from Percy’s and will be taking it back in maybe next week and will launch he car hard to see what she will do. Will most likely get the Moser 9” 31 spine.
