Default New runs with our Heads/Cam/Nitrous 346....

Went to the GMHTP Southern Shootout, and got some test runs on our new 346 2002 Z SS. It has AMS's heads with a custom cam, 4 inch exhaust, automatic, 9 inch with Wolfe suspension and a custom single nozzle 150shot. Car makes 450rwhp with an unlocked convertor on motor.

Best pass was a 9.72 @ 139mph, with a 1.37 60'. They car is no lightweight, with a mild steel cage and the leather interior remaining. It tipped the scales at 3420 pounds. We are putting a fuel system on the car so we can run a second stage. Hopefully we can take this stock displacement motor down into the low 9's, and retain perfect streetability and keep the motor together! Slowest pass of the day was a 9.8 @ 133 mph, once the bottles began to run low. BigMike....we comin fo ya

Its a stock block, stock crank with eagle rods and JE pistons. It has one of our custom billet hydraulic rollers, truck heads that were ported in house, and a custom single nozzle nitrous system jetted at 150. We are trying to resist putting a fogger on it, but when the lsx arrives, we might just have too
