8.55 First Pass With Turbo Setup!!!
8.55 First Pass With Turbo Setup!!! I just want to say thanks to everyone that came with us to the track and helped out at the clash of the titans this past weekend, couldnt have thrased to make the race without yall. We 60' footed the car a couple times on friday night, just so I could get a feel of the new setup. Saturday morning we decided to air it out the entire 1/4 to see what she would do on low boost(18psi). The car went a 5.40 in the 1/8 at 136mph with a 1.40 sixty and around the 1000 ft marker the car started to drift towards the center lane so I got out of it and coasted to a 8.55 @159mph. Right before first round we decided to go up on the trans brake to tune the car and the tranny let go so I didnt make the call. Hopefully I will have a new tranny in the car within a week or so and be back out haveing some more fun.

Ill be running more boost then i did before with my new setup so if ya can help us all out.
Thanks

Great job guys, i'm happy to see that there will be more outlaw cars showing up at the races. Seeing how you guys actually show up, unlike most of the other internet racers on here. Good luck with the 7.99, Hopfully we can beat you to it!! See ya in bowling green in a couple of months.

Man,

Damn, amazing setup, wish I was in the market for something like that.
I need to trailor the car down there for a tune it seems.

Damn nice "shakedown first full attempt". I would guess you tried using the stock MLS gasket and are switching back to Cometics? After I read the initial post, I searched through looking for a refresh on the thread with pics....beautiful setup and times. BTW, did you finish mounting the BOV or is still inside?

As there are no consistenties with the cylinder wall thickness on the iron block, why didnt you opt for a darton sleeve setup on a LS6 block? Also what was the head you were using and what was the chamber size and CR.
Just Curious.
