LS6 powered rear engine dragster build thread
Sorry for the absence, but we have been making some serious progress. The helmet bars are done, the engine is now complete so we sat it down into the chassis for final fitment, etc. Just a few more mounts that need to be made then off to be re-certified.
All of the fab work is done on the chassis and all of the brackets are made. Taking it to the local track Saturday to get it certified then dropping it off to get the new cage and brackets coated.

Indiana State University in Terre Haute , In has a RED with an LS-6 on it . The motor is stock except for a set of aftermarket coated pistons , but retained the stock compression ratio, and it has Lingenfelter electronics on it , and dragster headers of coarse . It goes high 5.20's - low 5.30's at the local 1/8 mile track , it does have s/c numbers on it , so I assume it goes well into the 8's on the 1/4 . The car is maintained and driven by ISU students , of coarse the student that drives has to get an NHRA license . They have a Facebook page called team sycamore racing .

Gunna be cool. I have a build thread in forced induction on my ls2 turbocharged dragster. I got hosed on a 245" 4 link that needs back and front halved. I put it to the side and built a chassis jig and am in the process of building a new 272" slip joint chassis. Btw mine is not a stock short block but it has a new stock nod iron crank in it and I plan on going mid 6s with it. Cool that you got on LSX tv too.
