8's at Atco !!!
 

It's been a long time coming, finally got the car out lastnight. First full 1/4 mile pass I ran 8.96@154.99. This is with a sub-par 1.43 60'. Pretty sure I have a coil going on the car as well.... Also the converter is wayyyy too tight for what the car is currently jetted for. We drove 2.5 hrs down to Atco and it was well worth the trip :D Thanks to Rick and my brother for helping out as well. If I met you and you we're telling me about your tall deck lsx post up.

Nice job. Congrats!

congrats on the first time out and running 8's, wish we got there soon enough to see the car run. seemed like a good night, not many people at all running. my buddy and i were the ones talking to you in the pits about his lsx.

awesome...

whats the setup again?

Cool it was nice meeting you guys. Tell him to put that tall deck in a f body lol

It's a 440 LSX with TEA LSX-R heads, Performance Induction Intake, speedtech plate, and a glide. I did not launch right on spray. That along with what I think is a bad coil i'm hoping to improve my ET next time out..

Way to go Charles!! Long overdue and it's nice to see you get that "8"!! :thumb:
Rick told me the car was breaking up the whole way down the track-8.50 class here you come!! :drive:

I think the combination of leaving right on spray (no delay) and fixing the bad coil or whatever was causing it to break up, will net a nice ET. Shit I told him my car out 60's his :engarde: lol

Haha! Little cam only car killing the big bad nitrous car on the 60' times...

Congratulations guys... Tuesday night was a very promising start.

BTW. I would like A/C in the trailor next time out...

8's yesss

can;t wait to hear more about the car, as you dail it in.
Any pics of how it is now, I remebed seeing some were you had a hood on you were going to sell?

What heads are thouse? TEA ported them but there the PI LSR casting? or a GM LSX, the DR?

you should have told me, I could have went with you guy's. Congrats on the 8 second pass. We need video next time

The heads are Trick Flow castings...

Good job, nice to finally see that 440 running right!

Thanks guys .... I have a few coils on my car in question... I've tested 2 others cars so I'm 99 percent sure I have a few weak coils

I've heard of several people with coil problems lately, these cars might finally be getting old enough for stuff like that to wear out.

Be a good time to get the new 6.2 truck ones, they're supposedly a good bit stronger.

I've tested truck coils on the dyno there no diff

That is awesome congrats

Very well possible. I don't know if there's a point the added power from a better coil will be needed... example, if you have no problem, and put them on I can see it making no difference.

Maybe on an FI car that's blowing the spark out, it might be a different story.

Kind of like adding octane when you don't need it. You can add it, but if it's not needed you will not see a gain. Adding a stronger coil when it's not needed, might be the same way.

I haven't back to back tested it, nor have I had a problem myself. I can see where it could help... if the coil's weren't putting out enough to keep the plugs lit correctly.


Regardless.. get that issue taken care of and it should for sure pick up a bunch, simple diffuser plate too, nice. That's probably one of if not the best plate out.

Congrats on the 8s Charles, :cheers: the next QTP Quick Time 8 could be an interesting one. :nod:

Congrats

congrats bud
