Long story short, been playing with junkyard engines all last yr and scattered the stock bottom end ls2 wensday the day before we where to leave for kc2k14.
Me and four good friends work for 26hrs straight to get the new engine built and put in the car to make kc2k.

forged bottom end, 10.8 comp. untouched ls3 heads, with a stock ls2 gto cam (the old engine took out the spec. cam)
19.8 psi on the big end. leaving on 5psi on the tbrake.

best et was 9.02 @149mph and run 2 was 9.03 @ 153mph.
car was not cert. nor was i,

the track was not very happy with me. but they where very cool about it..

cant thanks the guys enough for all the help.... and never did i think the car would go 9.0 with only 1.5hrs of run time/tuning on the way to the track

holy **** that's some destruction!

 

Seriously! That is some serious carnage, I'm glad you weren't hurt! Hell of an ET and MPH on the current setup too!

 

When it blew sounded like pop corn popping under my feet..
right side of the engine bay was on fire luckily it was right in front of my house so we got it out before to much burned up

Wow that thing really flew apart! That's a junkyard Ls motor you can mount on the fireplace mantel and say, look what I've achieved lol!

 

Congratulations Kent. When I saw the video on FB, I was pretty blown away. I bet you're itching for that 8 second pass. I think you've proven turbo is the way to go.

And imagine what a turbo spec'd cam would do for that setup.

 

Damn it man, you destroyed that block and trans, bet 100$ you dropped the f bomb during all the popcorn madness

 

More info on the setup. What turbo, fuel, etc.

 

Once we got the heads off of it, num 6 piston was the only piston that was gone the other 7 where all at the top of the holes in perfect shape as in all the tops/rings where intact, 3 out of 8 rods where still in decent shape but they where VERY bent( look like a S shape)
got the crank out and seen where every piston came to close the the bob wights on the crank and took the bottoms of them off...lol kinda funny how good the top of the pistons looked compared to the bottom of them.
and yes i was very unhappy knowing i had less then 48hrs to spec and rebuild another engine to make kc2k event

 

The engine thats in the car right now is a factory ls2 block.forged bottom enf 10.8 comp. ls3 823 unported heads, 2006 gto stock cam (as the destruction took out the spec cam)
arp main studs and 2000 head studs tq to 95lbs.
e85, plus 2 kits of 80/20 meth injection, 18deg timing, 19.8 psi.
built 4l80e trans, PY 3400 converter, MWC 9inch 3.50 gear, 28 10.5w slick.
afco DA 300lbs up frt, and strang DA 200lbs out back. umi tubular front end.

anything else??

 

Wow dude that's awesome. Good work.

 

Glad to see things are going well man!

Cant wait to see where it goes from here!

 

you know when you have a goal and you meet or exceed that goal, you tell your wife im done spending money on the car........
lol as i ran both 9.0s i was thinking damn so close to the 8s, now the new goal is 8.50s and this car is still 100% street car. dreams are coming true.

 

one hell of a build.as long as wife happy you got it made

 

8.50's ftw! nice progress! enjoyed the carnage photos too!

 

You almost skipped the 9 sec club and went straight to the 8 sec club!! Impressive forsure!! So what caused the trans and motor to blow out??

 

Nice job. Yea I keep telling my wife that same thing, but I don't think she believes me!

 

Holy crap. Glad you are ok. That was serious.

 

In my opinion, The engine let go from bending the rods at some point in the tuning process of the engine and it just let go when i was pedaling it in the vid. The three rods that where still intact where bent in a s shape.

the trans broke from stupidity on my part, those little clips that hold the cups in the yoke.... dont forget to put them in
