It was a beautiful day so I decided to take the bird out for a ride in mexico. Most of the pulls were in 3rd or 4th at a lazy 3k rpm hit. I was granny shifting (and not double clutching like I should) but I wasn't looking to kill myself. The last one was in second at around 3500. I got some light tire spin on the hit but I'm still amazed these old MT DR's still hook up. I drove about 40 miles all around town (mostly highway) but no one wanted to play . The meth is off for now and I'm still on the old dyno tune. Once everything is broken in (~500 miles), I will take it for the retune and see what she does. Click on the link to watch in HD.

Thanks guys. Hopefully the rest of the break in goes well. I had issues early on with spark plugs (BR7EF). I was using an AC Delco plug on the prior build which could take a beating. Everyone on the internet uses the BR7EF or similar so I figured I would give them a shot. Went through two sets of those and it just ran like crap in general. Went back to the Delco's and its feels like a totally different car.

Awesome man. Glad to see there are still a few loyal LTx guys out there. In the top video what are you running for a mic? The difference in sound is night and day between the top and bottom vid.

I wish the hobby was that cheap...or I had more self restraint.

Racewars is a secret yo. Meet you in the desert.

Thanks!

The top vid is using a GoPro 3 Black with the std enclosed case. Bottom was with my OG GoPro HD in the enclosed case. No mics. The GoPro 3 makes the exhaust sound a little bit higher pitch IMO. It's significantly deeper in person.

Nice setup bro! I hope that once mine is done it performs half as good as yours. I watched the video at least 5 times now

Thanks man. I'm sure your build will perform well. Keep at it and sweat the details.

I'm hoping for mid to low 10s. The car is full weight plus some. Stereo, A/C, heavy Kenny Brown DD SFCs, 6 pt bar, S60, etc etc. I went to a UMI road race k-member and tubular upper and lower a-arms while putting in the rebuilt engine. I have a lot of work to do on the launch.

Thanks! How is your car doing?? I haven't seen anything new in a while.

My car is mostly just been sitting under the car cover sleeping There are a few things I have done, but nothing major. I have to say again, "That car is sick!!". Have fun in Mexico this summer
