Default New PB with F1A Procharger

I went 9.787 @ 150.52 with a 2700' DA last night at Pittsburgh Raceway Park.

I am running 16.5 lbs of boost with Methanol injection and 93 octane pump gas. For a full weight (3750 lbs race weight) street car I was extremely happy with my run. I was kinda more excited with my 150 mph trap speed than the 9 sec pass.

The score boards weren't working at PRP. Here is a video of my run.

Wow....insane.

Now that baby's trapping the way I hoped it would (or should I say should based on the power to weight).

Congrats John....that must of felt insane.

BTW....Im going to the "dark side" in a couple of years. Made up my mind somewhere between yesterday and hearing about your trap speed on my voice mail....LOL

Need to finish the big N/A motor I will feature with an AFR cathedral port, then use it to demonstrate the benefits of our LS7 style heads next year.

After that I'm going twin turbo's.....it should be sick!

Congrat man....wait till the better air hits in the fall and you run at a track closer to sea level. I say 9.30's at 155 or so

Catch up soon....

Tony

thats moving along, picking up 37mph from the 1/8 to the 1/4 is a lot, easily low 9s if you work on the front half a little.

It is more of a street car to me than a drag car so as of now I don't plan on taking any weight out of it. I still have every seat in the car. Only thing I have taken off is the A/C only because I couldn't fit the stock condenser in its place. I would like to figure out a way to get A/C back on the car just so I can say I have a 9 sec street car with A/C.

I am running the ATI 7.625 crank pulley with a 4.0 inch blower pulley. My belt was ever so slightly too long and I maxed the tensioner out. I got one size smaller belt today and took the car out and it 17.5 lbs.
