Just for shots and giggles, I turned on the 150 shot but the fuel pressure safety switch turned it off soon after launch. I am going to install a bigger pump before I go back but I think I can make the tens next outing.

The off season was occupied more by making money than spending it so the race motor is still on the engine stand. Racing season is right around the corner so we will see how much difference 2" headers make and then go from the LS6 intake which picked up .25 over the LS1, to a FAST 102 out of the box. I can't wait to get back to the strip.

Always good to meet another LS nut. I also love higher mileage Ls's. I've modded plenty of them. It just proves what a great power plant they make. Swing by and say hi.

After quite some down time this car is out again. With a large-ish cam shaft, Fast 102, Lloyd Elliot C&C'd heads, through a glide, 5k stall, and a 4.56:1 9" it made 450 rwhp NA. We didn't get the nitrous lined out completely so it was super fat (10ish AF) and the nitrous only got us about 110 HP. After some track work and getting the nitrous sorted it should be a great 5.80 index car. I'll post a graph and vid when I get a chance.
