Default Congrats to SuperDave, Pro Mod win with a LSX!!!

Went to Grand Bend Canada for the HURA Pro Mod race and took home the win with the lowly little LSX.

It was clearly a underdog but it got the job done in a sea of blown AJPE 481's, blown Hemi's and big inch nitrous engines!

Ran pretty consistent too, and we kept the boost to a reasonable level to keep it happy. It was between 86-92 degrees for most of the runs too.

Went 6.94@198, 6.94@199, 6.95@200

Here is a link to the wining run, don't mind my wife yelling at the end lol! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r7UuwkF95Y

I will post pics later.

We sold it to Dave, as he planned on putting it in his street car grand National. We are waiting on the heads for the new engine so we put the ol' bullet back in the car to have some fun. I will have to look at the time slips but 60s where pretty poor most of the day in the 1.12-1.16 range. We had no boost controller in the BS3 after we got it back for what ever reason? So we had to leave on kill and pull timing back to keep wheel speed under control. It knocked the tires off pretty good on one qualifying pass. Our drive shaft numbers where nothing short of controlled chaos the whole weekend lol.

Dave did a great job getting it down the track with no drama though!!!

I agree!!! Our goal was to get it down the track consistently and it worked out great for us! We will make a few changes to hopefully get in the 210mph area with this bullet. Then hope we can get parts in this year for the new bullet!

Warhawk LSX with better heads, more compression and a fabricated manifold. We will have Forced Inductions set us up with a turbo upgrade too. This engine is only 10:1 compression.
