Twin GT35r''s made enough power to snap that Rossler T400 in half...lol..
News trans is in plus I've changed the tune to 3bar sd...and more boost
But my best friend's son is getting married that Saturday. I'm going down Friday to give kp some good luck!

I would already have lunati billet rods from my last setup, It was the only thing salvagable.
Thanks

An LS2 is probbaly the way to go, I'll probably just do another LS1 when its time since I can just transfer everything right over. Its held up very well and I'm really not looking to go any faster. Larger bore is good for power just from the extra surface and unshrouding the valves is a good thing. So if you have nothing I would probably go right into an LS2.

By the way good luck to all those going. I will look for you all next season and wish some day my car would be fast enough to be on pinks.

Saw two runs last night from LS1tech.
Both great for Bristol.
kp ~ 9.5 at 141
blownramair ~ 9.8 at 132 (Red WS6car?)
Both probably did better after I left.

We're sittin in the motorhome now waiting on them to announce the last 16 cars. I'm right down the road from KP's setup, but I dont think he knows it, haha.
Made one pass yesterday, 10.34 at 132.11mph, first pass today was a 10.40 at 131mph, shifted a tad early and it was blazing hot. Not sure what I ran the last pass because they dont give you a slip or put it up on the board, but I think it was 10.37ish. Going from a 5.29 to 4.88 in the rear really killed my 60ft time and 1/8 mile, but it pulls hard at the big end and lets me make it the whole 1/4 mile at least. My bro has ran a few 10.59's at 126mph in his Monza, and my dad is running 9.7ish around 138mph in my uncles camaro. This is fun as hell, whether anyone gets picked or not, I got to race my bro second pass today, and it just doesnt get any better. Tons of people here, the stands are packed right now.

I'm pretty sure the Monza made it in, they picked 10.50-10.60 cars again. Good friend of mine with my old 2000 SS (runs 10.60 NA now) got in.
Oh well, was a good time anyhow, there was a lot of 9.50-9.70 cars there so I thought maybe there was a chance but when I seen them interviewong a couple 10.50ish cars I knew thats what they were going to pic.
