Naah it was backed off quite a bit for this race, that's why it was so consistant. It had a .43, and a .45 within just a few min of ea other and last pass would have been a .47 if it had hooked. Would have been .30's if I had been able to cool car off and spray some water across the intercooler. There was also a 20-30 mph head wind. I think there is quite a bit more left in the car but we won't ever see it unless there is good $ on the line.

you really do have it figured out and working to its potential. its damn hard to buy aftermarket parts when that kind of performance can be had with stock parts.
I know what you mean about driving. mine is running and driving like a stocker and its at 13 degrees timing and 10# boost and I just cant get over how strong it runs with total drivability . much stronger than my old 11 sec 406 with big stall and gears. and it is so much cooler to hookup the laptop and tweek the fuel and timing tables without opening the hood.
these lq4 turbo cars are cool.

Your car is so simple yet so bad ***, props to you on getting it done. Do you think going to the t6 1.32 turbine housing would pick up any et or mph or would it be detremental? I watched your youtube videos showing how fast the combo spools (its insane how fast it hits), could you keep the spool up similar with a t6 turbine? What on the combo would need to be changed if anything (cam, converter) to do so? You've got me rethinking my h/c/I build for a turbo set up based off your car. I'll be pm'ing you for setup details if that's ok.

Same here. I was going to go with a small turbine 80mm before learning about this car. Now its a cast wheel S476 with a 92mm turbine and one of his 218 cams in my 5.3.

Driving is the best part and if I could I would get rid of the spool, and race seats for a locker and stock bench seat I just feel it would be a safety issue. Another thing I would like to add is a/c but just no room with the air to air I/C.

Congrats bitchin car! Im building a 71 with a lq4 but going n/a for right now just to get it back together to go do some burnouts but planning on boosting it later on down the road, your car is a inspiration to that and makes it difficult to not just boost it right now.
I noticed in one of your pics that your car has the tierods in front of the control arms, why and how did you convert from rear steer?
