Default N/A LSX goes 7.7s

Apparently Higgins Heads Race Heads in Australia have set a new record?

Only happened in the last couple of days and the only details I can find are these:

After spending the last couple of days sorting through his new car, doing half track passes. Backing off in the top end he still ran 160mph & a best of 7.77 seconds. He is currently on his way home, so further details will be updated soon.
It has had some updates and some changes. Running @ approx 430 ci.

The car is an ex Wayne daley 2006 Monaro platform ProStock car

More pics can be found half way down this page

Prostock trucks were running that fast 10 years ago with 358 cubic inches, making 1000 hp.

.

Since they have 400" running 7.00's I don't see why they can't run a 7.70 in that kind of car.
Best of everything, ultra low drag everything, perfect balance, perfect launch.

Great job, hope they get that monster dialed in and get a full pass soon.

That is killer, I'd love to get some spec's on that build, at least what heads, block, intake they're running... that's a seriously impressive time.

Granted that's also a chassis car that probably weigh's 2200 lbs or so and I'm sure it's also a liberty type tranny, etc. Not really a fair comparison to what the Sam car is or anyone else's n/a lsx car here in the states... but still an awesome accomplishment.


Way to go for the guys down under, and thank you for continuing to push the envelope!
