Default New Best MPH

I finally got my 9 sec lic tonight. Also got a new best mph. In the process on my third pass I launched into a huge wheelie, and well tacoed the oil pan, rack, and k-member. I also tore up the front and rear bumper covers. Needless to say the track was hooking a little to well tonight. The pass I went the new mph was a 1.37 60ft 9.74 @ 144.38.

Nice! Crazy for an N/A setup. You guys will make it into the 9.2-9.3 range. Everything just has to come together in one pass.

The engine is 385ci, 280ish Comp solid roller, .750 lift, 15.1 to 1 compression, ET 245cc heads, Jesel Mohawks, Smith Brothers 3/8 pushrods, JE Pistons, Eagle crank, and rods, Melling oil pump, Rollmaster double roller timing chain, Moroso 6 quart oil pan, and a Beck sheetmetal intake. All on a stock 2002 GM PCM tuned by me. It made 655whp at 7400rpms on a Dynojet at G-force Motorsports.

The crank is a 4.0" and the bore is 3.910. Not a typical race combo but it seems to make good power. Here is a pic.

Sorry to here about the damage.
Great MPH thought!
You should have a lot left in the car.

You need to call Madman and get a set of pro wheelie bar for that think!

While I am building my new project, I had Madman build a set for me, the quality and workmen ship is awesome.
I talked with him and he spec out what would work best for my set-up. He custom built them and had them to me in FL in 4 days.

Man!!! That's an awesome pic, but the end results sucks. If I would have made it out there, I would have had a good video of it. Ouch!

BTW-I ran out and tightened my MadMan Travel limiters another inch I can't risk that just yet.

If that pass would have landed smooth..OMG! That would have been the new best.

Let me know if I can help.
