396d1ss it was cool meeting you last night. that vette sounded nasty. man I gotta get a cam. I ended up catching a light with the other vette later in the night and not sure if he was just toying with me or fighting traction that bad but he really didn't pull on me much. but I did get in some more runs against the supra and rx7. t/a came out on top every time even when the rx7 went up to 18psi


same 2 u man we will have to meet up more often.

Ok tob make it short I'm gonna push it to 600whp.

Which threw a 9inch and 3800ish stall that's respectable I think. I just wanna hit that number because I just built a zr1 up and it made 599 soo I gotta beat that.
Now the problem is I have is this ls2 isn't as strong as it should be due to some things. So I'm gonna be easy on it mostly. Ill be tearing it down once I sell a ls1 I have to buy bottom end parts. Buttttt I got a 90k lq4 pull out I'm gonna slap in soon during my ls2 rebuild with a meth kit I got. That will be fun. I'm maxin that tc78 out on it! Helloooo 2 months worth of 750 whp!!! I want to get a good et and pop that motor.

Sorry I ramble on sometimes.

I have not been in plant city with my car in a long time unless you count I-4. I may also try and get up to Book's on a few sat nights again. I used to go up there all the time a few years ago untill all the ricers showed up. I need to get back out and meet a few people around here again.

yeah it's mostly ricers now, but if we get a group of nice cars coming out regularly we can take over again bwahahaha...

but yeah, blingole that sounds crazy. I've seen what these cars do on 450-500 whp, I can't imagine 6-700. and don't destroy that poor motor. I'll give it a good home. I got a 68 c10 waiting on a heart

took my car to the dyno tonight,,,

we couldnt get the tires not to spin on the drum but it did manage to make 455whp once, but it was for only a second then the dyno drum speed flatened out and the rpms shot up because of wheelspin, so obiviously not a correct reading. This was on 285 40 r19 ls3 wheel and tire with vht. Also on 4.5 lbs of boost peak.

but i maxed out my racetronic 55lb at 43.5psi hour injectors at 100% duty cycle with my fuel pressure turned to 70psi boost referenced on 4.5 lbs boost... Fk! time for some bigger ones like 70-80lbs i guess

also my stall is way to loose. so ill have that tightened up night week.
other then that it ran great! haaha im gettin closer

heres the only run i got filmed and he backed out early for some reason
