Couple of Qs:

How high do you spin it on the hose? Any worries about the stock crank?

Did you have the crank heat treated or and special processes performed to it?

Do you have any pics of your N20 setup? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

congrats! </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">he says it has a forged shortblock above

Im 99.9% sure he has a stock crank <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Forged rods ad pistons yes, but not the crank.

Congradulations on your run. Just allittle more and your there. I know it will handle alittle more. What controller are you using?

Vince, NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you raced him in a foot race on the street, Alan would definetly win. YOU would have to duck for all the street lights and Alan is short enuff to run under all the cars. LOL

I can get some pics of the setup,with stock intake and after I put the sheetmetal back on <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Next trip,will get down to my normal 3395 lb raceweight and increase the starting power on the controller. The controller is the NX minimax.

I have a few more things I want to try,and will be putting more fuel system on the car before I do any more testing on the 200-250hp jets. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> and the sheetmetal back on.

Joe,yea it felt a little better in 4th <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Keep it up Alan! The LS1 records are begging to fall, and they will do so to a stock cubed motor. That definately speaks very highly of your shop, more than any outlandish dyno could do <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
