Powerglide definitely.
Turbo would be awesome
have a hidden nitrous system with all the plumbing for the lines hidden under the manifold and hide the solenoids too. just in case there's an "emergency"

I wouldnt think a win against the Ford guys will be that easy, I see some fast fucken Turbo Fords in the drag radial classes. Plus they have the advantage of being lighter than us.

450+ lsx block,big frame 101 or 106mm turbo or f3 or f4 supercharger.
whatever you guy's build i'm sure it will be quick so i think ls1tech will reign supreme.


I think this is the way to go.. It depends on the Funding. If the sponsors are going to be picking up most of the tab why not build the fastest machine for the most consistency. The sponsors aint gona care as long as thier product is getting promoted as much as possible. THeres gonna be more to this show than jus beating the crap out of a ford. Its going to be making a statement about the LSX and F-body community and I feel it should be done in the biggest and most Bad *** way possible.


but thats my 2cents

Are you limited to one engine, or can you use two?

perhaps you should look at the current records for an fbody 6 speed.if the ford girls bring an 8.50 car we'll have problems.no reason to get cocky and say we can beat them with a 6 speed.and **** happens if u watched the tosto brothers race,tim had the record so hes a damn good driver and the front end just came up a bit higher than he expected and missed a shift.thats all it takes.no need to show off,just flat out wax them.

sorry not trying to be cocky. they are going with a TH400 anyways. it would be cool IMO to wax them with a 6 speed tho.....

i think the 6 speed record isnt as fast it could be is because people are scared of the challenge, every really fast guy goes auto. joe is almost in the 8s all motor, sure its a pretty radical motor but hes still all motor. taner has a bad *** car, and its an lt1 that holds the 6 speed f-body record. we know if more people stepped up to the plate for the 6 speed guys, we would have more guys hauling *** with them

we just need the drivetrain and a guy that knows how to row gears to get that bitch down the 1320 in no time

I say you show up with a stock car on street tires...then ask for 20 lengths and bitch about how the other guy showed up with a 'race car'.

JK This should be just as good as the Tosto Bros. episode. I can't wait to watch it.

We are not allowed to bring a car (stock), ie. that slow to the filming.

Still looking for a good deal on drag wheels, pm if you have some.

So you have a 90,000 member forum going against a single shop based out of FL?

lmao...who picked the stipulations of this race?

Why not go against www.corral.net?

Is this a PINKS ALL OUT type of race where you keep the car and win cash...or just regular PINKS where you lose it (car)?
