Default Finally 8's

Went to the track tonight and ran my best of a 8.95 @ 154mph car is still on a small tune and have not yeat used the second stage.We put a little bigger tune on the last pass but almost wreck the car due to poor track prep,spun the tires about 330ft out and was not fun but she lives to set new records real soon. So post me up on the nos list i don't feel right doing it myself.

Nice run. With your second stage you should probably be approaching the record.

8.52 is the record according to the top 10 list on the board. We have a LSX powered coupe that has been 8.4x but it's not a Fbody

As we step up the tuneup the car really is starting to come to life.I wish the last pass was clean and the track was preped well because the car was on a mission. Oh well season still early and time for some new slicks after the rickey bobby move.

I've asked this question before and if I remember correctly it's a 408 (number 2), high compression, AFR heads, big hydraulic cam, 1/2 head studs, sheet metal intake and, TH400. Some of that might not be 100% correct, but I think it's pretty close.

It's good to see you finall hit the magical 8s. Especially after 408 #1 went blamo. How much are each stage? Gears, stall, tires?

ETP heads solid roller GMPP intake no sheetmetal is allowed in the class im running in direct port is the only thing im using at the moment.Trying to get dialed in with the fogger before we start playing with the second stage.We should go a bit faster with just the fogger and the car is just loving it the more we put to it.Race weight is in sig and were on a 28/10.5 tire.
