8th pass I wanted to back the 8 second pass up only shock adjustments made

60' 1.401
1/8 5.776@123.77
1/4 8.94@154.76

9th pass just for fun made some more shock adjustments and raised the 2 set to 3600 and 8 psi

I am extremely happy with the results of the car for only 15 psi. Also the car weighed 3410 after the 8.89 pass. Here is video of the 8 secon passes

That is just awesome man. Car is flying! Goes to show you what some simple fine tuning can do.

What have you removed to get the raceweight down that low (is it with you in it)?

 

Dan I can't even tell how jealous I am!!! Congrats man, you deserve this for sure!!!!

 

Damn dude, congrats, that thing is moving out! Out of curiosity, what does your exhaust system consist of, that thing sounds mean!

 

My exhaust is 4 inch from the turbo dumped at the rear axle with a flowmaster 5"x12' straight though muffler I got from fireball

 

That is with me in to and 1/3 tank of fuel. I have no HVAC, radio, passanger seat but still has factory wheel tubs big steal 4 inch exhaust and some other things

 

Congrats on the 8 sec pass man!! ****** is haulin *** and looks great doin' it!

 

Congrats Dan. Happy to hear the car is running well.

 

Good job Dan. You have been chipping away at it and finally met your goal. It's more impressive that you did it without turning it up to 20 psi. Congrats man.

 

Thanks guys. It has been a long time coming. I am glad I could do it on 15 psi and just on E85. I haven't started sparying any Meth. I might hook it up for next year when I turn the boost up more. Now it is time to deside on a goal for next year.

I will also note that the car is going on the rollers Saturday so I can see what kinda of power numbers it is making

 

congrats!

 

very nice!!

any pics???

 

I thought the meth was on, even more impressive.

 

Wow nice work launches were perfect!!

 

nice, the 8s feel good

 

Good job. Car looks to be going nice and straight. You should be proud of yourself.

 

Congrats!!!!

 

Congrats. Gotta love running 8's on $3/gallon fuel

Can you give a better break down on your engine/heads/intake setup? 4 bolt style heads?

What are the specs on the S88 turbo?

If you can cut a 1.18 60' again... you will really be hauling the mail!

 

There are lots of pics of the car/engine and turbo set up in my build thread that there is a link for in my sig. But the basics are

AES ls2 385 4 bolt
205 AFR heads 10:1 CR
VA Speed VTC2 cam
Vic Jr with an Aaron's elbow and a stock TB

S88 Turbo with a divided 1.32 AR and the kit does feed the turbo divided. I have built and tuned all of it myself minus assembling the short block

 

awesome results! Glad to see you got it in the 8's, and you built/tuned it all on your own! I'd love to see what it does with the wick turned up to kill mode! What gear are you running in the rear?
