Ah yes. Burt? Then my hazy memory may remember seeing you in that Nomad in a car seat.

Yep! That's him. Haha, yes there are pictures of me sleeping in a car seat while he worked on it too. I was a few months old.

That elevation is pretty similar to where I live, I was just curious cause the correction factor seemed low, but it could just be that you have better air up there. lol

Hmm, yea it does seem low. It could be because of how the dyno is calibrated. The operator has multiple cars that he has dyno'd and then taken to the track in Medicine Hat to verify. Medicine Hat has an elevation of 2260ft, so the adjustment is probably done off of that.

Hey all,

Update time! I finally made it to the track with my car. New personal and car best of:

60 - 1.95
1/4 - 11.08
mph - 129.39

Now for some pics!

Video of track day:
My car is scattered throughout. My favorite run starts at 12:30ish.




It was an early morning. Track was rented 10-4 and it is a 3 hour drive. Hence the Tim Hortons haha.








A friend of mine came up with me and took some awesome shots!













I love this shot.





and the aftermath.






It was an awesome day! Lots of personal bests were set. A friend of mine has an L33 with a small turbo that ran 12.4@116 in a 4800lbs pickup.

Shoutout to Ls1_Chevelle - Matt ran a crazy fast 8.79@154. It sounded like a jet!

Until next year!

Sweet, looks like you had fun at the track. Congrats on setting a new best!

What psi were you able to launch on at the track?

And what was peak psi on the 129 mph run?

Damb, LS1_Chevelle's car is rolling out!

Way to go. Put some drag radials on there for a 10 second pass for crying out loud.

Yea I had a blast!

I was running street tires so I would spin if I left on any boost.. best results were basically just bringing the car up on the converter (2000ish rpm) then just rolling into it haha. I believe my peak was around 17psi on the 129mph run.

I plan to do tires eventually but I wanted to see what I could get on a 100% street setup. 91 octane fuel and street tires. Shouldn't be too hard to get into the 10s, lots of room to improve in the 60 and a meth kit should get me into the 130s.

Dang, I wish all the pictures on the initial posts still worked. Curious to see how you got the intercooler behind the grill w/ the hood latch support in the way

If I remember correctly he removed the hood latch and modified the support to make an intercooler fit. I had to do the same thing since my radiator is in the stock location. If you move the radiator back into the engine compartment a little you might be able to keep the hood latch assembly.
