Default 10.81 @ 124.16

A new best for me too, why not (even if it is only by .01..)

It's not much, but here's video from the incredibly successful LT1/AI-outing at Cecil County MD this past Saturday, December 3rd.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5zC4...el_video_title

I also have some GoPro footage from the same run that I'll be posting up soon.

Unfortunately though, the rear is gone (spooled Ford 9"). It was built by a **** shop 8 years ago and I'm surprised it lasted THIS long. It's whined ever since I installed it... Haven't had a chance to pull the 3rd member yet, so we'll see what goodies and destruction I find inside! So plans for the winter include a new spooled 3rd member with 4.10s and a well-broken-in 5000 stall.

For you newbies, the car is a naturally aspirated forged 383, AI 200cc ported stock heads/cam (237/242) hydraulic roller, all UMI/Spohn/BMR suspension, Performabuilt 4L60E w/ 4000 stall, 3.90 gears, tuned by PCMforless, etc. Still has power steering, stock intake manifold, stock optispark/ignition, stock fuel rails/regulator, and weighs 3550 with me in it. I built the car to run low 11s and it continues to impress the hell out of me.

So, one of you buy it.

Just curious, was that PCMforless tune a mail order tune? I think youve said in the past but i cant remember. Just impressive if it is, and makes me wonder why it hasnt been dyno tuned or anything if it was a mail order.

Nice times, and nice car, as always

Bryan himself dyno-tuned it a year and a half ago, but it started as a mail-order tune for over a year when I was running 11.1s.

There's a vid of him tuning it in my sig actually.

Good run! That converter will shave some time off, so will the spool!

Get it ready for the shootout! Extreme Street N/A is calling you!

Very nice! Before it is sold I wouldn't be surprised if it goes 10.50's.

Which setting do you have the 3-way comps out back set at if you do not mind me asking?
