Nice. What did you trap through the 660 marker? Put it on the scales?

Yes stock rod bolts. On that pass I shifted at 6400 and 6600 so you were damn close. I'm in no hurry but I do want to get it on the dyno at some point to see where the power is peaking.

On my 11.63 pass it was 94.45. It's 3114lbs with me in it and about half a tank.

I suspect you will pick up at least a couple mph leaving on the transbrake. My 3700 lb race weight Cobra (480 rwhp) used to go 94-95 in the 1/8th and then 118-120 in the 1/4 at Moroso. Foot pedaling it I think you are leaving a good amount on the table, but you already know that.

My stocker 90 hatch was 3040 lbs with me in it on Moroso's scales, so your SN95 is real light. That's awesome.

I'm guessing you're around 400 rwhp when you put it on the dyno?

Good luck!

I'm running 3.73s. I wanted to go with a higher (numerically) gears but with spray the car will be closer to were I want it.

I know I'm leaving a ton on the line in regards to 60 foot. I wasn't sure how much MPH it would pick up but my Mach 1 with the Procharger on it would go 95 in the 1/8 and trap 119 so that sounds about right.

Can't get much lighter without cutting on the car, removing glass or going on a diet. It will be getting a cage next summer.

The online dynos agree with you but I think it will be closer to 350RWHP. I'm going to see if I can it on the dyno here in the next couple of weeks.

I improved a little bit more today by using the transbrake and got down to an 11.58 @ 117.39 with a 1.66 60' leaving at 3500 RPM. I tried a little higher and went 1.65 but slowed a little. DA was close to 1000' compared to nearly 0' on Wednesday. I'll try leaving higher next time out but need to take care of a couple of things first.

It's an FTI converter they made based on my combo. Looks to be stalling at 4400 on motor. I'm going to see how it does on spray before deciding on getting it restalled.

Is this the one you bought?

No it's not much shorter but I think it's short enough for most. Obviously if you can get an LS1 oil pan that will give the most clearance. Mine sits about as low as my headers and transmission pan. I live off a dirt road and haven't had any problems with clearance yet.

yeah that looks good actually. Like you said, not any lower than the headers. The price is right, thats for sure. I may go ahead and order one and try it out. Thanks for the pic.

About 3 weeks from now. The local track has events the next 2 weeks then we have a track rental on the 1st. I need to finish a few things on the nitrous set up and make some changes to the tune.
