saweet numbers! I literally just picked up a FREE 03 LQ9 longblock today! After seeing this thread, im really stoked!

 

I took the car to the track back in August ran a 9.8@151 blowing the tires off to the 1/8. The track kicked me out said not to come back unless I get a cage. I Went to another track in November and took out the thrust bearing on the crank so the motor is getting forged up.

 

what kinda tire and size? That mph is good for low low 9s for sure!

 

26x9 Hoosier

 

ah, gotta get a 28" in there!!! I purposely clearanced my rear 1/4 flares so i could fit a 28x10, possibly a 29" even

 

I have a FC there is less room. There was no prep at the track when I ran the 9.8

 

Lets see some pics of the setup

 

What he said. I wonder if it would have lived longer at 600whp

 

The car is just fine on 26s.

The motor was just fine too. It was a transmission issue that knocked out the thrust

 

Here is the setup

 

How did the trans affect the thrust bearing?

 

When I was on the trans brake it was building too much thrust pressure in the converter causing the crank to be pushed forward.

The place that built my trans didn't restrict the converter feed in the pump as u can see in the pics.

 

Who built the trans

 

Mad dog transmissions
