Another thanks to Madman Went to the track yesterday with my 1995 LT1 Camaro.... Occasional street duty. Nitrous pro flow plate system. 383 cubic inch LT1, AFR 227's, single plane, solid roller, shaft rockers, TH400 and a Moser 9"...... stuff most of you guys already know.... We had just installed limiters on the car that I got from Madman... I had slightly bent SYA bars under the car from a previous wheelie at Pinks All Out...
Had a match race with a 408 ci LQ9 iron block LS1 with an NX direct port system. He has ETP All pro heads, beck sheetmetal intake... seriously beautiful piece...... Unfortunately I lost the race but not for any lack of power. I had to save the car instead of trying to win 500 bucks....
Earlier in the night during shakedown passes we posted a 6.06 1/8 mile and I shut the car down at 800', got on the brakes hard and ran a 9.54@130. Very conservative tune was in the XFI for this pass. My tuner told me full bore and with less delay that the car is capable of 5.80's with the same jetting...... the LS1 car on a few shakedowns went 6.17 in the 1/8 and was shutting it down due to lack of proper safety equipment to run full passes. He was going to run it all out on the last pass of the night to avoid getting booted...
Made some timing adjustments to set the car on kill and went out there for the grudge and then this happened....

39MB download on a very fast server.... and it's in HD as well.....
This is also with limiters on the car set to allow like 3" of travel...... car is MAKING some serious power..... going to look into some more adjustments and possibly a switch to a powerglide to avoid the antics on the line..... Thanks again to Madman for the SYA bars.... It barely touched the header collectors, just a few dings, but did a nice job bending the madman rack which I think can be fixed... and the SYA bars were completely destroyed in the fray. I need to get the front wheels spun to make sure they aren't bent..... I lost 500 bucks but saved my 50,000 racecar..... So it was a night of ups and downs.... Ran a new best even though it was hard on the brakes 800' out.... Figure the 1/8 mile converts to like a high 9.3... And we're still creeping up on the nitrous..... We're going to fix what we bent, get the front end shored up and go out there and get the world record..... In a 3400 lb tank....
So again thanks madman for your stuff especially the sya bars. They saved what could have been thousands of dollars of damage..... I still need to work on the limiters cause we're making so much damn power that even when allowing 3" of travel she's getting crazy.... I might be calling you for wheelie bars...
Oh and I was wearing the madman and co racing shirt while I was racing so that might of helped as well..... The **** only got on my underwear and not on the shirt.... LOL

I've been talking to bowman and he thinks the Torque arm is doin it.... I need to ask theo about it... theo is saying we can shore the front end up tighter and pull more timing...

just as I figured. Ya I knew J had the short Spohn but with it being short cause it to wheelstand more than a long one, I think that is what bowman is trying to say?
but it is progressed via timing with the FAST xfi which should be enough once we limit the front enough. testing needs to happen for sure.

I was thinking the N20 can be progressive to not hit the tires so hard on launch, but timing or whatever works.
Yeah, short TA hits the tires different than a longer one, so Im sure something new will help. I told Jason who the hookup was on a TA when he gets serious about it.
