Yes it did!

The setup consists of:

ESP ls2 402 stroker.
Eagle billet crank and H beam rods
Eastside spec'd Diamond Nitrous pistons, 13 to 1 compression
ET 240 heads
Eastside nitrous/stroker grind cam
fast90/nw90 tb, unported
QTP 1 3/4 headers, non HV merge ones, gutted catted Y and a LM
pulley, all the rest of the boltons, mins the waterpump (stock one still on)


Thru the Hughes TH400, and Ultimate Converter's 5800 nitrous converter, it made

477 rwhp, 520 rwtq!

Keep in mind this is a motor built to inhale 1/2 a 10 lb bottle, per run

Thanks Eastside for a killer power plant... time to get her ready and get some #'s from this beast!

Awesome! The car looked good when I saw it. Would love to hear it and get a ride in it sometime this season!

you're not the only person that wants a ride...... only problem is that you can hear the car abotu 2 miles away.. so I can't do more then one trip around my block without a cruiser coming thru within about 20 minutes. Every time I go around for a 2nd pass.. I see a cop. It's kinda odd... not sure why they keep showing up LOL.

soon, it's going to the track soon. I'm waiting to hear the results sonic snake has with some tires he's tryign on his car, if they work out good I'm gonna get a set of those, get the longer wheel studs I need, fire jacket, extinguisher, and a couple other last little things (roll bar padding) that is needed to be 100% legal, and we'll see what she can do.

Last year I was putting on the roll bar padding in the tech lanes first time to the track... Apparently 1/2" wall foam pipe insulation is IHRA legal

Let me know when your heading to the track, I'd like to see it run

Thanks guys... we'll se what she can do this summer for sure. I kinda knew the times from last fall were not even tipping on what the car's capable of, but it did what it did in the few runs that were put on it.. can't really change that.

I'm hoping to hit 10.4 on motor, once I've gotten it there the nitrous tune goes in and then we'll see what it can really do With any luck, with the nitrous tune the car will still go about 10.8 so I can run the 10.9 index on motor, and on the bottle it will make single digit blasts at will. Got some suspension work to do to get it to leave right, but once that's sorted out it should be there.

fwiw eastside's old shop car the silver bullet, at 3600 lbs and 460 rwhp ran 9.90 on motor.... so the potential to get into the single digits is there on motor... I'm not gonna get my hopes that high because I'm not the driver Rich or Ken is, but maybe with a little more weight out and a good track day it could happen, but again I'm not getting my hopes that high.. that's kinda shooting for the mon this year to think it will do that IMO. It is nice to know the weight and power on paper could do it though.

I had a ride in her, its a beast. Cleaning up the exhaust and dialing in the tune did the trick.

Are you sure about that? I remember seeing that car at Westhampton and I remember that car being feather weight. Didn't even have carbon fiber brakes if I'm not mistaken? Just sayin, I don't think that car was 3600 lbs.

the car didnt get the lightweight stuff till it started to really go fast, the brakes were some of the last things done
