Finally, new 2009 Nitrous combo is done.....Pics within Well, after having to deal with 2 job layoffs this year, I have finished the new race car combo. It took alot of work, from initial EFI issues, to programming issues, to problems with the new BS3 crank trigger...you name it and I think its happenend....
As of right now, I'm waiting to bring the car to the dyno late next week. Once that is done, I will hopefully be making some track passes soon. If all goes as planned, I'll be running a local True Street 8.20 Cap class for the rest of the year, and going to the LSX Shootout down in Memphis, TN in October.
For those that don't know, I ended up building a completely new engine/trans/nitrous system combo this year. Just last week, I switched to a new wheel and tire combo fresh from Weld racing. I'll bet there wont be too many of these wheels out there yet.
The engine is a 427 LSX, Callies Crank, GRP Aluminum rods, Diamond custom pistons, ETP C5R-X heads, Performance Induction Solutions 2 piece intake, Nitrous Outlet/Nitro Daves Direct port system, 4 Stage ARE drysump system.
Now I currently have a Coan Big Dog Glide built by Baxter Racing, and going try out my new converter from Lenny at Ultimate Converter Concepts.
Should be a fun year when I get this thing down the track.
Here is an idle video of the car from yesterday. Make sure you click the HQ button under the video for a clearer, better sounding video.

great job as usual!!!
very very clean, well done, i love it!!!!!!
im into the speed and bling as you are and know what it takes to race a show car and you sir take the cake!!!!
dont waist to much time on the dyno, easy way to kill a motor on spray. track testing with air fuel etc is much better.
good luck.
sounds great as well, sounds like she is about 13-1, 13.5-1 compression?

Not at all. If you take care of things, anything can be raced 
And I'm anxious to get out there and see how this new motor runs....
I've heard great things about those ETP C5R-X heads and I can't wait to get these down the track. I'm hoping to be out with some shakedown runs in the next couple of weeks.
Its between 13.5 and 14:1 compression. The way I see it, if you have a car with this much invested....you might as well make it look nice. I like my stuff to be clean, functional, and look great. ANd believe me, its not all show 
I'm only doing the motor tuning on the dyno. No spray for me on the dyno. I just want a good motor tuneup to use at the track for shakedown runs is all. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Which picture did you use? I posted up that last one for you and Dave. If you want the hi-res image let me know. Full size they are 3264x2880
