New LT1 Blower Record
The car will go 7.80s with out leaning on it. Unfortunately Im having a little issues with the valve guides. We have not made a clean pass to date. On that run in the video the car ran 8.43 at 140 or something like that. I was out of the gas at 7.1 seconds into the run because it layed over. The racepak shows a misfire at 4300rpm in low gear until i shifted at 7300 which is a very short shift. I shifted because it was not pulling. In high ger it was just lazy and slow. Like I said it layed over and I shut it off. It bent the number 5 exhaust pushrod. Last time out it bent the number 3 exhaust pushrod so something is no bueno. Besides that the car is working awesome. 1.24 60FT leaving at 3350!!! The converter is showing about 22 percent slippage which is no good either. I am still running a 3.50 gear which might be changed also but for now one thing at a time. I dont want to make predictions but Ty Tech has built a bad little LT-1 and I think it will easily run 7.80s.

Here is a another video of my weak pass at the import race. You can hear the motor lay over pretty bad. I like the view though. Also you can see the motor mis firing and the yellow flame in the pipe. Should be ready to go back out in february to make some passes.

2012 will be a very interesting year, 7s should be broken, blower and turbo records will fall. If Ellis finishes his car we may even see the nitrous record get some heat....maybe even a Joe O come back?
