Default WHAT WILL IT RUN!!! (already posted in the right section)

OK we are taking out the TA for the first time tomorrow and I would like to hear some predictions. Ill do a quick run down of the car, and then include links to the build thread for those who want every detail.

Basic run down:
LQ4 Iron Block
Stock crank
forged rods
Forged pistons (9.X:1 I think)
all ARP hardware
Patriot stage 3 317 casting heads
LS6 intake
custom cam (big)
Custom truck manifold turbo kit (76mm precision turbo)
Built TH400 with trans brake
PTC custom speced converter (about 4400 stall)
Two step
MWC 9" with 3.50 gears
FULL tubular suspension (strange double adjustable coil overs in front, Competition Engineering 3 way drag shocks in back)

The car made 576 WHP at 10 psi, and we are hoping to come in around 3400 lbs with driver.

Here is the Dyno vid

And here is the complete build thread with a LOT more details.

I got tired of waiting in the other section, so lets hear what you all think! If you have any other questions let me know.

I was gonna say a 10.5 for the first shake down pass. Will be quicker than that once everything is lined out.

Man, I am getting answers all across the board (which makes it fun!). I have heard guesses anywhere from 11.3 to 10.0!! I think we would be happy with 10.5 (not to set our goals to high) but Id be real pleased with 10.4 or anything faster Lets keep hearing what everyone thinks, and I will make sure to update with times ASAP!

LOL... 11.3's with like a 2.5 60ft.

You're light enough to go low 10's if everything works together.

Why a big cam? Turboes usually don't need a huge cam.... good luck. I'll say 10.5 or better. It's a turbo automatic... if it was a 6 speed the number would change a bit. GL

Cam was spec'ed by the engine builder for the combo, just happens to have decent lift. Last time out we didnt have problems with the tire, and from a small test hit on the street they hooked up. We will see in the morning, just got done going through the whole car bumper to bumper checking everything. We are all good to go!

I'd 10.5's easily, and maybe a 10.2 at that boost level. 57x rhwp @ 10 psi is stout.

flat out moving for your boost level, cant wait to see what it does once you lean on it more. Congrats on a great first outing. Car is set up very nicely.

Thank you very much, we were floored by that pass. The car was going straight all night, traction was ok (we both blew them off once), and it felt good. I did not expect that time AT ALL! Track was a little upset

Couple little corrections.. Nothing major. The motor is a lq9. Cam that was specd has made great power on other cars, so they suggested it to me. Appears to be working making 576 whp on 9 psi through the th400. The 576 dyno run, and at the track tonight was 9 psi. The car has actually dyno'd higher @ 10 psi, but fuel pressure would fall off a bit. Ptc appears to be spot on with the converter. I Cant imagine this power level going much fast. Everyone that specd or built anything on my car did an amazing job! Thank YOU!


Took me 2 hours to get the car there, was there for 9 hours, and 2 hours to drive home. I am so pumped, i dont think im going to bed! Video looks awesome!
