It looks great man. I'm glad to see you taking it to the next level.

I thought you were selling the car or maybe it was some parts or something. I thought you were getting out of it or something.. Glad to see you are not.

update for those who haven't followed along with my turn of events...

take the car to the track back in april...on the first run, found a glitch in the BS3 which unfortunately took out the motor

Shawn @ va speed and RHS stepped up big time and got me a new motor at the end of June.

I'm still in the shakedown phase and have been fighting off several "small" issues, but on the 2nd run on the car, goes 5.68 @ 139.9 at only 19psi at our local event (I was treating the event as test passes hence the low boost). Still working on getting the setup optimized for spoolup (run a really tight converter) but its a decent start, even with a lazy 60' time haha . Whats crazy is that this isn't far off from what the car ran with the old 366/98mm setup at 34 psi

vid of the 5.68 pass (44 seconds in)

nice pic of the car from that event


Shouldn't be long until I get the bugs worked out and push it to 40+ psi

Are you serious?

If you are, obviously you havn't learned much about forced induction. A stock motor with the right charger and cam can run 10s these days.

I am going to guess 7s? maybe 8s?

Edit:
I didn't make it far enough to see th 1/8th times so I am glad to see my guess were in the ballpark.

If we can get the 60' where it needs to be, its shouldn't be tough.
