Default My APS twin results

I got some results from the track today with my APS kit. went on the Dyno on Thursday night, my E-Boost ll craped out on me and I can only run off of the wastegates which made a rock steady 8.5 PSI and it made 65x RWHP and 660 RWTQ. Went to the track today and ran a best pass of
60FT 1.465
1/8 6.486
MPH 107.237
I was pretty happy with it for the first time out
here is a video of that run

http://img532.imageshack.us/my.php?i...9130125cz1.flv

my combo is as follows
LS2 block, 403 CID, AFR 225 CNC heads 225, Compression ratio 8.5 to 1, 234/234 at .050 598/598 lift cam. APS twin turbo kit, Nasty performance stage 3 street system with Lonnies twin Racetronix in tank pumps, Racetronix 96 pound injectors, converter harness, and a AEM impedance converter. 4L80E transmission that I got on a swap here, supposedly a Rossler but is is not painted black so I don't know if it is built or not, it has a Vig stall converter, I was told by vig that it was between a 2500 and 3600 but I don't know for sure what it is. it has a Moser 9 inch rearend with a Detroit locker and a 3.50 gear, 35 spline axles, Full BMR K member, front upper and lower control arms, rear lower control arms, and Panhard bar, Spohn Torque arm with 2 drive shaft safety loops. Carolina powertrain 3 inch DOM steel drive shaft. BMR extream duty drag Sway bar, double diamond sub-frame connectors, and 1/2 of my own homeade 304 stainless steel true dual 3" exhaust. I am shifting at 6000 RPM but the transmission seems to be slipping on the 1-2 shift and on this pass I had it set to shift at 5000 RPM and it took it from there to 6800 to compleat the shift.

for only 8.5 pounds of boost I am pretty damn happy. I think it has another 2 tenth's if the tranny will shift correctly and it is still on the stock springs and shocks so I may have some more to pickup there. Will try to hit Rockingham in the next couple of weeks.

With your setup I would definatly get some better shocks. What psi do you plan to run once the EB2 is fixed?

on mine the solenoid was clicking like crazy when the key was turned on. I disconnected the lines from it and it stopped. I think I will go ahead and put 2 on it and see how it does. if the lines are not hooked up correctly would that cause it to click like crazy for some reason?

Umm whats up with that.I thought when you got the 10.17 you said it weighed like 3850 and now you said it weighs like 4350? So which is correct? I can't see it weighing 4350 .Are you racing with full tank. would think 1/4 tank is ok,take out jack and spare. Guess take out passenger seat. Could run no front sway bar.

I am expecting mine to be pretty heavy with 408 iron block ,the tt kit, and dana 60, my suspension parts are not crome moly and have heavy stereo with 12 inch subs.
I am not too worried about weight as mine is street car. If it hits 10s even 10.99 be happy enough camper.

That was my assumption since that is what it weighed with the six speed. But I was wrong. LOL Yea 10.99's and you wil be happy Remind me when you run 10.99 then look for 10.50's
