Congrats to Eric(Ksths2) for runner up at Eddyville last Friday's Midnight Madness! The Green Nova (Procharged 355 w/ 14" wide tires)that won ran a 6.00 on that run at 120 mph, that's how crazy it is getting now! The air was good!, Eric had his best et yet, he can post it if he wants to tell you... I was asked by 2 people to post pictures of Eric's old bikes, but so far I can't get them to work. Maybe Eric will do it for me.

Here is one of his last bike. 1500cc Suzuki full race w/7" tire; 5.20 et, 133 mph 1/8 mile, 8.30 et, 156 mph 1/4. I can't find a pic of his street R1 1000cc, but it ran 6.04 on MT street tire. CRAZY! Last edited by No Plan; 09-10-2012 at 09:28 PM.

After running the best 60's, ET's, & mph Friday night its funny to think how my dragbike was sooooo much faster. 1.22 60's definently get your attention on 1 tire lol
There is a new thing Eddyville is trying on Saturday September 21-22 & 29-30th - Easiest way to explain it is it'll be a 4 tenths pro tree, heads up "STREET LEGAL" race for us during the main events on Saturday, basically they are trying to get interest in getting a group of fast street legal cars to run once a monthly on a Saturday just like the 10.5" tire cars do. I think this is great!! (Even though i'm not even close to being the fast car) So it'd be cool to get a group together to compete in these events - To get an idea of the ET's you would expect 6.0's-6.50's would be the ticket - See the website for more details.
FYI Don't forget! last Midnight race at Eddyville is Friday Sept 28th 10-1am!!!

Josh's car needs drag radials and SFC's before he hits the strip. His LT's/ORY pretty much eliminated the possibility of the factory tunnel X-brace being on the car, so it's even more flexible than stock right now lol.
Overall, if he can hook hard and get a good 60', I'd imagine high 12's in good air as a convertible w/ iron heads.

There's my half *** build thread. I will try to post up a video tonight of it running. We are going to try and drive it around the block tonight to see if the trans works.

FYI, I hurt my lil' LS1 Sunday......
1/2 pass on the juice it had a bad vibration and loss of power.... i lifted but it wasn't happy. All the plugs looked great w/ no signs of detenation but #3 had oil on it. I did a quick comp check & #3 had "0"........ go to put the car on the trailer & noticed it has 15-20psi of oil pressure and it had a bad tick in that area of #3 so........ TBD on how bad the damage is.
Overall I can't complain,
I ran that stock bottom end LS1 for 3-1/2 years of constant beating on it & it produced a 1.440 60' out of it, 6.44 @ 107.8mph on the 175 shot on pump gas 2 weeks ago
I never got to run the 175 in the 1/4 mile but the 150 shot got me a 10.40 @ 129.9mph at CFR
If you're wondering whats next..... Nothing for the Vette for awhile, I'm going to spend all my time/effort/money on my LS swap project in my 54 Ford. Once thats done then start saving for something to replace the LS1 thats built to handle what I want to throw at it
