Default 5.98 @ 118.8 - SBE LQ4, S480, 4L80E, E85, MS3Pro


Set a personal best tonight. Made it to the "Fast 4" final and blew the tires off. The track must have gone away quickly because it never blows the tires off like it did. Oh well, I drove the car over 3 hours roundtrip, set a personal best in ET and 60' off the footbrake. Safe to say that I am happy. DA wasn't the greatest either but was still hoping to get that 5 second pass. Next time I will get it for sure.

SBE Gen3 LQ4, SRD Cam, Billet S480, 4L80E, Circle D, 9 Inch, E85.

Congrats! Awesome run!

First gear seemed really tall, unless we were hearing the other car. Should be some ET to be gained with a gearing change. What gear is in the car?

Thank you. It has a 3.50 gear in it now which feels about perfect. The 1-2 shift happens around 47 mph.

Yeah, it also hit the limiter on the 2-3 shift. I will get it Saturday if all goes well.

It's the 258mm but a 2b.

Update for those who didn't see it in my build thread.


This car is really consistent and keeps surprising me. I won the first round in the No Prep against the same 2JZ Capri I raced earlier. He did end up going 5.89 on Saturday later on, but our matchup was the first passes for us both on the day. I got beat by my buddies Turbo LS RX7 in round two because I red lit trying to chop the tree down. It's a SBE Gen 4 6.0 with LS3 top end, S480, powerglide, 8.8, E85 and MS3 Pro. He dipped into the 5.7X range during the day and was beat out by the infamous Beater Bomb.

A buddy and I had a friendly grudge race for the footbrake crown. His Fox has a rod & piston 6.0, LS3 heads, GM intake with fab elbow, custom cam, gt47-80, Holley EFI, 4L80e, 3.27 gear, E85. It went 5.7X @ 123 on the pass we raced. I screwed up staging and wasn't on the 2 step long enough. It would have been a better race but I would have gotten drug either way.

Race with the Fox.
