great looking job ! we have a close set up, running a 6.0, 88mm, 317 heads, 8-1 compression, eagle rods, stock truck intake and exhaust manifolds, no intercooler on E85 w/glide have run 5.52 @128 @3150 in early testing on 275 drag radials...like to see what your heads/intake are worth..thinking we have pretty much maxed out our heads/intake combo ??? also we are using H20 injection, good luck Rob

Nice numbers! I had some mismatched items on my car last year that i think held the potential of the setup back a lot. Hopefully those are gone now. I need to cool my intake charge down somehow, but that will have to wait till next year.

Not running an I/C.

The water injection is sprayed directly underneath the IAT sensor, so the sensor isnt seeing what the temp is with the water mist in it. Once it gets to a certain degree the ECM starts pulling timing out.

Been busting *** on the car these past few weeks, and should be ready to start next weekend if i can get all the parts i need. Have a few good buddys trying to round up some last minute parts for me. IAC, valve cover bolts, bullshit like that. Got the intake fitted and windshield in today though. Turned out pretty nice. Interior is near complete and all wiring is finished. Will post more once this weekend is over.

If you're blowing LS9 HGs it's time to go to a O-Ring or 6-Bolt setup. There is nothing better than the LS9s HG wise.

Been busting *** on the car and hoping to start her up this saturday. Got almost everything done. Cranked it over for the first time tonight to get some oil pressure. Even with near 11-1 the starter turns it over nice and fast. I ran into one big problem. The hi-ram is so damn ginormous that the charge pipe cant be just a bend. Not enough room. So i have to do a 360* circle to make this intake work. Here are some recent pics. Undecided on what to do about the intake ****. Get a new hood or just cut a hole in the stock fiberglass one?????
