I'll give it a shot! I'll have the MPH... but Lavory's 8.85 time will be hard to beat. His 60' and 1/8 times were miles ahead of anything I've ever pulled off in this car.

3pedels how is your car doing?have you had any new bests yet?
Only had car out 3 times. Small issues plagued each of my 3 test days - poor wiring, bent throttle rod twice
Car is done for season and I am going to re wire my car and try out holley efi.
When you say "building" you mean leaving it stock right?
Nice! Still in the FB? Why the motor change? How doe sit "feel" off boost compared to the old mill? Is the No2 off the line making up the difference?
6.0 will def. be a stocker. Bought a set of gen4 pistons and rods for $100. Got a few cranks laying around. Been looking for a deal on a 6.0 block.
Yup still the FB. Blew the headgasket on the 5.3 and it scorched the deck and head pretty good. When I pulled the 5.3 I sent the converter out to get restalled tighter in anticipation of the 6.0 install planned this winter. I believe the old converter would have been a great match for a 4.8. Using the nitrous to squeak by with this converter for the rest of the year. 4.8 feels like a dog compared to the 5.3. But who knows what the 5.3 would have felt like with this new converter.
Nitrous helps a ton. I plan on upping the shot from a 60is to a 80ish. N20 is on for roughly 1000 rpm and builds 6lbs by 4100 and shuts off, after that motor/boost takes over and hits about 13lbs by 4800rpm where I launched.

These all your cars? Also, I thought the F1r is larger than the D1sc?
mine is the white 02 with the f1r. The two others are customers.. yes the f1r is larger then the d1 but the d1 has better supporting mods.. 2" headers vs my 1 7/8. Larger piping and fmic vs my twin ic. D1 car also has meth allowing more timing in the tune.

I dont know how headers and piping account for 130whp-that sounds aufly fishy-especially considering it is a smaller blower. I will add tyou car, but people have to have a Tech USN and be at least a semi-active poster to maker the list. If we let everyone post for their dad/son/uncle/brother....ect it may get out of hand. Have to draw the line some where!
On another note-Did you guys build a Corvette for Jamie Cater? Your shop looks familiar.
Fought gremlins all night with the 4.8. Couldn't make over over 18lbs of boost. It was either 18lbs or spike to 30+! Think I need a new WG.
Looks like it picked up 4+mph with an intake and intercooler swap at the same boost levels and 2* less timing. (went from 17* to 15*) Pretty happy about that.
This was pedaling the car heavily all through most of 1st gear and short shifting at 6500. 16lbs in low gear, 18lbs in high. Easy low 9 sec pass with good 60'.
Not sure if you allow cars with rod bolts on the list. Some guys complain some don't. If you don't that's cool. Stock rods with ARP bolts, stock pistons, stock crank, grouted stock block, ported stock heads, eBay chinese head studs. On methanol with a GT5588. 2965lbs race weight. Best ET 4.83 best MPH 151.3

Thats up to the group-I'm not sure. I'd be fine with it on the list-I dont think its that much of an edge. Bigger question, ever run it in the 1/4? Its hard to gauge an 1/8th mile car to 1/4 mile times if the car is set up to run out the 1/8th. Either way that is COOKING. Is that straight meth, or meth injection on top of regular fueling?
