Well the weekend is almost over, yesterday was a pretty good day considering the weather was crap. The cage got certified, got steering wheel button installled and picked up a harbor freight tool box for under 200.

More safety equipment showed up.

Tonight i plan on getting switch on steering wheel wired up, radiator fan wired up and fluids top off, and maybe start getting bumper and front end back together.

I did noticed my brakes were sticking a little when i unloaded. pulled the rod going to master and they released so need to shorted the rod 1/4. it was maxed out and couldnt shorten up any more. They do work A Sh*T ton better tho.
Ice Box will be here wed and ill maybe get the fire wall bulk head mounted and engine bay side of intercooler done.

havent been on here for a little lol, had my first event this weekend. got 1st round bye and lost 2nd round. it was a no prep and i was on a radial. learned alot in the last few weeks tho. my first pass at the track this year was a 6.500 at 114. i currently have 7 passes and best ET is a 5.90 at 124 on 15 psi leaving soft. plenty of room to get into the 8s i think. Got my 2nd warning at local track for going to fast so will be getting NHRA lic this weekend if weather is decent. well here some pics

not much racing with weather and work so decided to do some maintenance and add a few sensors. i was hoping to have all this done before the season started but with the muncie race i just left it alone.

jack stand life
Just another ls10 408 s485 glide build-dstukwll.jpg

trans oil and filter change. moving the cooler to rear cause the lines were really close to down pipe. also adding a temp sensor to pan

Just another ls10 408 s485 glide build-ke6fdoxl.jpg

also bought a front wheel sensor and pre cooler IAT sensor.
Just another ls10 408 s485 glide build-dl7hgoxl.jpg

Just another ls10 408 s485 glide build-sbujhcsl.jpg

SOme TBT of first pass and most recent. still have alot left and going to be playing with traction control and some other launch features.
Just another ls10 408 s485 glide build-hdkysw0l.jpg

also redoing brake master. i have the 7/8" in now and its really soft. so ordered a 24mm and hope i get a decent pedal from it. the 1.125 was rock hard so hope this is the happy medium.

Been looking at a slick set up. not sure if i should go with stiff wall M/T or Hoosiers 28x10.50 tires. Any input on a heavy high hp set up let me know.
