Nice man! I was just in Jefferson City last Saturday working. We'll have to meet up next time I am in town.

What were your incrementals on that run?

STOCK 2000 ECM, 4l80
eboost2 controller running twin 46mm gates on twin 62/66 turbos at 19.8psi. the boost controller was on stage 3, so once i let go of the brake at 5psi how ever fast the turbos got up to 19.8psi. I would say 200ft it was full boost

That's awesome. You got a hell of a setup. Congrats. 8s are right around the corner for you. What injectors are you using?

when we go back, plans are to leave on 7-9psi off the brake and try to get the 60ft in the 1.2 range, and with a spec cam i believe it may go 160mph out the back door leaven a little harder off the line

I'm seriously going to sit down and do the math and see how much doing a turbo build would cost me if I could sell off my heads, cam, headers, lid/filter setup, dual exhaust, etc. Might be able to about break even if I buy used stuff.

with the lil tuning we got to do on the drive to the track, we seen the tune is stupid fat 6-10psi like 10.0 fat, maybe another 2-3 tenths left in it just the way it sits with the lil stock cam

The vids dont show it but holy **** it feels so violent in the car when you let go of the tbrake...

The track gave me list of **** that needs to be done to the car to make it pass.......way more then i want on a street car... probablly go back once may try twice do some 300ft passes to see how hard it will leave then when its time to go home 1 or 2 out the back door then load it back up..


thanks for all the complements on the car/runs guys, but the 4 guys that where there the 26hrs along side of me are the biggest part of the accomplishment.
cant thank them enough for talking me into the rebuild on such a short time frame

Kent changed me from nitrous to go Turbo and my list keeps getting bigger and bigger!!! He is more then capable of getting you in the right direction and helping you go faster!!! Think after all said and done cost will be around 3K.

That including or not including the fuel upgrades? I can sell my 44 lb/hr injectors and get some 80's, but I will need dual pumps, or maybe one big pump and not sure what other fueling upgrades along the way. Stock lines and rails should be ok, but if I do it, I'd like to run e85.

1.45 60' and you run a 9.0......

that car is going to be easy 8's once you cut a 1.3x 60' time.
