Default LS1 swapped Nova...10s on a 100 shot!

This is my buddy's car, it used to be a 4 door, it is his "rat rod" to mess around with. '02 LS1, LS6 intake, FAST TB, TR 224, TSP ported LS6 heads, 4.10s, M6 w/ RAM single disc clutch, mail order tune from TSP. As you might be able to tell from the pics, it has a SMALL Hoosier QTPs on it. The car is light, between 2800 & 2900lbs.

He took it out to KCIR on 11/3 for the first passes with it. On the motor, it ran 11.50 @ 118, with the 100 jets in the NOS plate it ran 10.81 @ 126. I don't remember the 60' times, but they were in the 1.50 range.





The nitrous is coming off & a twin turbo set up is going on...

The car is in the fab shop right now getting a chromoly cage installed. Honestly, we never thought the car would hook & be able to run those numbers...

The rear doors, door posts & 1/4s were removed & the 2 door post stuff was put in place. The welds are still there, no body work has been done..Rattle can special paint job.

The car is very quiet & unassuming...I think it could take some money from a few people... It might not be as sneaking with the twins under the hood though.

Anybody notice the Centerline Warrior wheels on the front painted black. This is a good friend of mine, and I wanted to kill him when he told me he rattle canned a set of brand new warrior wheels! I have a beautiful sick *** Hugger Orange Camaro that was pitted next to him that day, and people were walking over my car to see his beat up rattle canned death trap. Goes to show you that Old School is still cool.

The car is deff badass!!! When chad brought the car to me last sunday he warned me that it was a total beater and boy was he right! It is so freakin cool as it sets and the painted warriors i personally thinks just set it off!

If you heard this car you would never think it runs remotely close to those times! Its so settle and quiet and that just adds to the cool factor!

I hope to see some screamin times outta this lil car after we get the twin kit built. This kit will also become for sale shortly after, and will be available as a bolt on kit.

Heidt's aftermarket front suspension probably has a lot to do with it. Walk around at http://youtube.com/watch?v=w39EdSbgSUo
