Default black bitch update?

looks like you have a crank drive blower and is that a chief head?

looks like brady dropped some more coin for a sick setup

you guys looking to run orsca again im guessing with the f2?

did you have to drop the motor any lower in the car to get that to fit?

nothing better than getting thrown out of a class then coming back and kicking them in the nuts with their new rules.... props for willing to go back to the cry baby fest... i know that **** gets on my nerves at local races...

We're not running EZ Street anymore. We'll run Limited Street if we go to an ORSCA race.

Any words of wisdom from you guys on Procharger? I would love to move off my nitrous set-up and go with an F2-F3 with the new 408, but everyone is talking turbo, turbo ,turbo.

They were running a BS3 system

Diff between EZ and limited street

EZ, stock rear suspension limited to a 325 tire. F2 biggest blower, 94mm turbo I think.

Limited street, 4 link, ladder bars....cant remember tire rule or blower/turbo rules.


The drag radial record I feel will be crushed when this car is sorted out. It will break the 6 second drag radial barrier.

I'd like to see another picture of how the blower/belt setup is with the blower in that position. From the looks in that picture, it almost looks like the blower is directly driven off the crank (no belt at all)

I'm sure I'm wrong... but a top view picture of the engine bay sure would tell the story

Chain drove no ****. That's the way to go, no belt issues period.

I'd love to do that sort of setup with a f1 with a big a2w intercooler.

Maybe someday

what most guys dont realize is that limited street's times werent much faster than the EZ street times which caused lots of bitching even in the LS world.... im guessing they are stepping up the power and moving to a larger tire and keeping the TA and going to rock the boat....

those chief heads are very nice.... have you guys tested any? i dont know if the new chief castings do it or not but if you have problems with the studs getting pulled out of the heads gimmie a PM and i'll tell you how to fix it.... the chief heads i worked on were a few years old at the time but they still flow like hell...

im kinda suprised you got them to fit in there between the shock towers... looks like your using head studs... that will be fun to change a head gasket

did you have to drop the motor down another inch or 2 to make it fit with those monster heads?

whats your race weight now? is it just another 50+ lbs up front or did you use other light weight parts?

i cant see the car getting lighter... that would be pretty tough considering the monster hangin of the front... the extra large cylinder head and the dry sump..... unless they were carrying large amounts of ballast to hit the 3400lbs they were... if anything they probably gained atleast 50lbs unless like i said they were carrying a couple hundred lbs of ballast.... will be interresting to say the least...
