Another LS Stang Is Loose
Another LS Stang Is Loose Waiting for a break from the weather to start shaking out the bugs at the track and shot this little vid of the engine idling in the driveway. Used the GoPro default mode 4 which gives a bird's eye view and the audi is barely audible, so you need to crank up the volume. First time using it. Lesson learned.

Tested the car Friday night but quit after 2 passes. Need some suspension work as the front-end has almost no lift on the launch and causes lots of wheel spin. Also, the PTC converter I was using with my 2JZ is way too loose for the 6.0L, so RPMs climb too fast on the launch, RPMs only drop 700 on the shift and the engine runs over the converter on the big-end. To get a full pass I had to use the WG spring pressure (3.5psi) for the launch and a slow ramp of 2psi/sec. Ran over the converter on the big-end and only gained 20mph in the 2nd-half. Guessing I lost .4-.5-sec with these issues, but with all of that, the car cut a 1.50 and ran 9.60 at only 136+ with only 11.5psi. Not bad for the first full pass, I would say.
Shipped the converter back to PTC Monday, and gonna work on the suspension and swap out the 3.55s for 3.27.
Here is the launch and you can see almost no lift on the nose and hear very little boost on the launch.

Swapped out the LS1 intake for a Pro-Flo. Was able to squeeze out 149mph trap and a best of 9.39 with the LS1 intake on only 13.5#, serious launch issues and the wrong converter. Looking to lay down some good numbers in 2013. BTW, no clearance issues with a 2" Cervini hood.
