Who wants to fly to Latvia and o-ring my LS1?
What is "filling", and at what power level should LS1 be filled (and o-ringed)?
Damn these threads do inspire me

If that first video doesn't say BIG POWER I don't know what does. I could have pushed it off the line faster, and it still went 180, freakin nasty man!

Nice runs! The last pass still looked lazy, the car will be nasty when done.

Amazing to get 180 mph from that launch!

Thanks for the videos and you're on one for 7's.

Bad *** setup and runs for sure!

Is this running a stock crank? What rods are in it? steel or alum?

I even put in a new crank pos sensor over the weekend...

I guess its conceivable I have a weak coil...they are the truck units...but don't have any spares laying around
cant rember where i readit but something about crank sensor cant read the signal because the signal changes coming off the reluctor ring at 7500rpm an up. in that go to a distributor Shane at thunder can help.

it seems to vary...kempf's car did it way up high in rpm...much higher than the 7500 where mine is happening...

it looks like it might be a overly rich misfire...A/f hit 9.6:1 before it happened
