sounds badass!!!!!

 

thats bad ***, makes me want to do a turbo build

 

Sounds like a mild cammed LS1 to me idling around 600rpm. Pfffffffft not a bad way to drop 10grand!

 

it has a pretty healthy cam...and it was idling ~850 rpm

me thinks that when that hair dryer spools...it'll have a slightly different sound

 

I bet.!!!!!!!!!!!

 

can't wait to see it in action.

 

copycat err i mean grats . Have to let us know when you go to the track.

 

Bad ***! Good Luck with it.

I'm hoping to go turbo for my next project

 

Congrats, think you'll fully run it before the season is over? Let me know, I'm going after your old times in October when it starts cooling down. I really want to see this thing go, even if they are just shakedown passes. You keeping the old license plate or are you going to change it to INSANE, lol.

 

hope to start some shakedowns here in 3 weeks, give or take...

yup...still have the NUTCASE tags, expired since I have no plans to run this on the street, but hey, they'll be on the car

 

Congrats! Best of luck with it.

 

Congrats man!! Glad tp see that it running!! Let us all know when your gonna hit the track

 

Congrats Fireball.

Best of luck with it.

 

im convinced youll break into the 12 second club..

 

congrats sounds good

 

 

Got a little closer this weekend...

Driveshaft is on order...should've shipped Friday
Chiseled Performance Water tank with built-in water pump on order (should ship today)
brake lines are fabbed up (double flaring tube really sucks LOL)
measured what I need for flex brake lines and ordered those
parachute mount is powdercoated and reinstalled for the last time
Bought a 54 gal drum of race fuel...

Going back to PAF to finish up setting the suspension with everything in place...looks like I will be actually able to drive it into the shop for the first time in years

should be ready for tuning shortly after

3 weeks looks to be a good estimate to start shaking down...

 

Sounds Good! Looking forward to hearing about your results.

 

What did you use for brake fittings, because the -3an fittingsand tube-nuts I used wouldn't seal with a double flare I had to redo them all with a single 37degree, and then everything sealed up real good and I've had no problems at all with the brakes so far this season.
