stock 5.3 goes 8.89 @ 157
8's dont seem like much now that everyone is doin it with the JY setups but I fig id still post this up. It was my feeble attempt at the record. . . . I failed
Always next year I guess
It's still running perfectly and took everything I threw at it. Put a bunch of street miles on it and went to every NMCA event around my area. I whomped on it evey chance I could find and it never complained. I didnt have much of any experience with tuning so Im pretty impressed/suprised I didnt end up driving over the crank. These engines are tough.
It sounds like a tractor cause I ran with open downpipes on this pass. Hate the way it sounds

Ill try and answer the Q's in order
Weight on this pass is 3230 lbs raceweight. I wish it was 2600, Its a heavy sob now. 7 or 8 years ago when I 1st put a mild sbc in it it weighed 2640 without driver, Id like to be there again
That 1/8th mi time wasnt the best in the vid, it was 5.749. best 1/8th has been 5.61
Yeah, I live in fort wayne.
Denmah, its def drama free, Anybody could jump in and make the same pass. Nothing too it. heres another vid from the front windshield, straight as an arrow
Combo is a iron 5.3, 799 heads, twin s366 turbos. Im hoping to get some tenths knocked off next year, Im looking for a 6.0 to get some more grunt or aluminum 5.3 to shed some weight

Stock shortblock meaning stock everything, rings, bolts, bearings all of it. The motor was mostly apart when i got it(it was a GM warantee engine from a local dealer) but I disassembled everything and cleaned everything then reassembled it, nothing was machined or replaced with new, excluding a lifter(as it had one that was bad). I caught hell from a few members for doing that but Id bet most people would have done the same.
