Default New G8 all motor record?

Went 11.3 a few times today at MIR on motor! 11.31@119.95 followed by 11.36@119 and a bunch of other 11.3-11.4 runs.

Headed to OC for hot rod weekend but I'll post slips later.

Nice job wreck! Hopefully I'll get close next time if prep is better. I know you like the 3.70's as much as I do!

Odd your MPH is the same as mine? Figured with the blower you would be hauling!

Awesome time Sky. Glad your perseverance paid off. You are the KING and on top of the G8 mountain. Let's see who tries to knock you off.

Basically took off the FAST, swapped AFE intake to Ramjet, installed Driveshaft Shop 9" with 3.70's, figured out HPtuners and got my trans working decently.

What! Why?? Still coming up for the Skyline run, hadn't seen you on the forum in a while.

Thanks! I think I have a bit left in her, especially with that 60'. Still some track time left this year. I'm sure someone will beat it, lots of bigger motor builds in progress but not bad for a little ole stock L76.

Sometimes MPH is a good bit higher, sometimes not. I'm having some consistency issues with my shifts, not sure whats up just yet.

I had Livernois do a valve job, port, and milling of my stock heads back when I did my cam, but I recently pulled them off due to compression being higher then I wanted to run with a blower once it comes in. It was fun messing around NA but its time to go a bit faster!

Doesnt look like I'm going to make it, waiting on parts and have a vacation between now and then which takes away from time to work on the car. I've already swapped over most of the NA pieces over for FI. Had to change heads, cam, etc... but rest of parts are still en route or on order.

Come on out to MIR sometime! Way closer then SC, haha. I just want to get it finished so I can get to the track once before it closes!

If I had planned it out better I would have been done but it came as a spur of the moment decision after the last track rental, I thought I was going to have all winter to do the conversion but a nitrous solenoid pissed me off.
