Gray, when are you taking the wheel of that big orange SAM SS! It's only right if you consider your connections on myspace. Jud should turn over that car to you. If he only knew the Bronco skillz you had you'd already be driving that car!

I would like to see at least two 8 second cars from the SAM family and I think it won't be long!

 

That will **** off all Import designers

 

Lazy!! Hell, I thought a 1.31 felt pretty awesome! Is that on the back tires? I sixtied 1.31 with 600 hp and a stick . I'm sure you'll see some mid twenties once you get the suspension dialed in and eights won't be a problem. Congrats on your setup. No corners were cut with this project.

 

Amber,
Did you get my message about helping post up your video? Let me know the camera model and I'll give you some exact instructions.

 

Congratulations on the increduble numbers! Looking forward to seeing the new records you are going to be making.

 

spinning to 10K at 3.825 stroke?! WOW!

 

Congrats Amber you and Joe deserve it.

how about a sequential?

 

Video?

 

Great job.

Did you guys get a weight on this engine before it went into the car? Just curious what an engine like this weighs.

Ross

 

It will be a T56 forever. This car is their billboard dude.

 

Hmm... maybe they could make a sequential shifter for it still a t56 at heart. I'd buy it. Why let the imports have all the fun?

Sweeet numbers ya'll posted. I can't even imagine what it sounds like.

 

The LSX block weighs more and the dry sump also adds a little and the intake is heavier. I never thought to independently weigh everything but that would be a good idea Ross. Joe may have weighed the stuff so he might let you know later when he sees this stuff tonight? Some of the internal parts are lighter but not enough to offset this other stuff of course!

 

Is it proshifted? I thought they said it was a stock gear-set...

Congrats on the new 1/8 mile time! Simply awesome.

I hope to shift my car into the 9's someday, but only If i can drive it to and from the track and to work on nice days. LOL

Best part of a 6spd car is that it can stay streetable far longer than a auto.

 

Definitely true!

 

I'd think its faceplated. No one that I know really does proshifted stuff anymore and a fully syncronized t56 would slow shifting too much past 7k+ rpm. Either way that power is amazing

 

It is face plated on the transmission.

As for the block we did not weigh it before it went into the car. We do know the car weights 3275lbs right now and will only have to add about 25lbs of balast for this race.

Thanks,
Amber

 

Congrats Joe, nice power

 

Okay thanks to Greg I got the dyno sheet scanned but now it is to damn big I emailed to Nine Ball so hopefully he can shrink and post it for us. PLEASE. I hate computers
