Here is my TB. Took me about 6 hours to port. I was very careful not to go too far into the TB blade. Idles and responds great!

I dont have pics. I basically took the plastic cover off the side of the airbox, and made the hole even bigger. Easy 15 min mod. Sounds good too!

Great driving, man. Very nice.

I'm a road racer, so I'm a total newb on drag launches. To really relay how much of a newb, I dropped the clutch from 3500 on Saturday and grenaded the whole rear. Both axles broke, as did the driveshaft. Carrier was broken at every mount.

So, can you be specific about what your feet are doing, both in the burnout pit and on the line as the lights come down?

By Thursday, I'll have the Gen 4 diff too, as well as Hendrix's Road Race axle set, all the bushings, etc. Trying to make sure this never happens again.

Wooooo thats my dog. Keeping it Beasty in the big Caddy. Sounds beautiful, looks beautiful. Your "granny shifting" is most peoples speed shifting. Good job holding it all together and props to Melisious for getting some good footage.

You'll get that 11 on DA drop alone. Hope to be there when it happens.

i sent STAGEUP a PM about the magic stick 3, what's the overall driveability like on that large of a cam?

I'm assuming it's a 238/242 .605/.612 114 LSA

Thanks man, I was a little rusty at driving it well, since I haven't raced it in over a year. Melissas recording made me happy for sure! I think it needs heads now. :-)

Nice runs! I would love to go out to the track, but I'm afraid I'm going to blow my rear. That burnout in the last vid was perf!

CANNOT WAIT to get this 9" garage conversion completed.
