Default LS1 T/A Runs 9.31 w/ MMS 427CI Motor

A customer of ours back east just busted out a 9.31@145.8 w/ a 1.31 60ft on a 200shot direct port Nitrous system

The motor is an MMS427ci C5R block. It is topped off with our Stage III LS6 heads and our baby 229 camshaft. Other than that the customer has done all the work and tuning on his end. I just thought it was cool to see such a mild motor get ET's right up there with the top cars in the country. We are talking about different cam profiles, but I always seem to come back to our 229 cam.

Nice!

Looks like one of the 4" VFN hoods on there, I knew I'd see one of my babies on a car someday.

I think I've seen that car before, the graphics are familiar...

Who tuned the car? I remember Mikey at Rapid Motorsports telling me about a C5R block/TA with a nice shot of juice.I wonder if its the same car?

I raced him on that day in my Hawk. He made my 11.80 look stupid slow with a 9.41 against me. Dammm

I'll get all the details about the car. Yes it's Buster's. As far as I know the car was tuned by Mikey @ Rapid. I know the 9.30's is just the beginning

i put that pic as the wall paper on my computer and my girlfriend saw it and even she ( she has no clue when it comes to cars...except what kind of gas to use and what oil to buy) thought it was bad ***. "but why isn't the other car doing the same thing?" she asked...hehehe sweet run, looks like you mms guys got your **** together. a friend of mine has one of your cams in his ss and it runs like a rabbid rabbit.
