.68 A/R Housings. Spool pretty good actually. Meth is just two small 175 nozzles for now but I will be going to 2 larger 375 nozzles soon.

What do you rev it to? Do they seem to fall off up top or still pulling hard?

lol no fall off at all, I ABUSE the 6600 rpm limiter all the time and it is still pulling hard. I might take it higher rpm wise but figure the lower rpm will help keep it alive.

No pipe bender here, just buy mandrel bends and get to welding.

Ran the car last night and learned a few things.

It ran 9.55 @143.5 1.49 60 foot and 116.85 1/8 mph and 6.17 1/8 ET

BUT its blowing through the converter HARD, its on the limiter at 6800 about 300 feet short, hence the low top end mph.

That was on 14psi and pump gas/meth.

I think with a real converter in it and get it to actually 60 foot its got some 30's in it pretty easy.

One of the locals here in Phoenix uses a TC76 on a forged 5.7 and goes 9's all day through a TH400 in a F-body. I would use the TC78 since you have a little extra displacement. They are only $999 at www.forcedinductions.com

maybe the black wheels are for the track and the polished wheels are for the ride to it. Just happens to be left side pics on the road and right side pics on the track

The rain pictures are rims with et streets, not powder coated.

The other pic that shows black rims in the rear are true slicks.

2 different sets of wheels
