Exclamation **lmr in bahrain tuning race car**










Over in Bahrain this week tuning on a single Turbo LSX with LME built engine. Setup is very similar to our Firebird, just single turbo instead of twins. First test pass went a 4.80, second test pass went 4.72 lifting(PERSONAL BEST FOR THE CAR). Testing is today and tomorrow, qual starts thursday. Will keep everyone updated.

Everything I've ever seen from that country is a 'no expense spared' type of picture... Are those LED TV's on the starting line?

I think its a smart move on their part. If its very similar to their own build it only makes sense. I am sure you guys know this though.

There was a built thread on that car in the drag racing section. Burkhart did most of the work. Street tuna is the guys screen name. It was a big dollar build and it shows, the car is awesome to say the least.
