Hmm. That's an interesting setup. All that trouble of forging the bottom end/cam swap just to run a stock 208/214. Sounds like the guy you bought it from had forced induction on the to do list but never got around to it.

I had a fucked up tune on it and took my car to a local dyno day and the guy tuned it real quick and it put down 360RWHP I think my car would benefit from a more thorough dyno tune but I got plans for a cam swap this year so im not really too worried about getting it tuned again before that.

Good runs, hope you can make it to the track soon and see what it does with the gears and skinnies, 11's shouldn't be a problem with track prep. The two vids I have your car leaves the line pretty violently and that was with the old gears.
You won't be beating this car again anytime soon 
. If for no other reason than it's still sitting with no plans to get it out for this year. 
Although I did get it out and changed oil yesterday.
The races happened exactly as described. Late last year I beat another buddy who post here with similar motor mods minus the ls6 heads, cam, but add a 4k stall and 3:73's.
It was about as this race was from a roll. A dig though at the track and that auto car beat me by about .1 seconds.. I was running 3.31 gears at that time though. My car has gone a best of 12.1@116 with the old 3.31 gears. With the 3.73 think I have 11's in it all day now.

Great races, btw!
Is it weird having to shift into 5th gear in races?

I have not had to use 5th in the 1/4 yet I go through traps with my old gears at like 6700 RPM and about 115ish.
Not sure if I am going to have to shift 5th at the end of the track or not yet. I have the limiter set to 7500RPM. I am going to ride that out the whole to see if I can make without hitting the limiter.

You should easily be able to finish in 4th with that RPM limit. I'd think you could finish in 4th even with 4.30's and maybe 4.56's(but that would be painful at the pump of nothing else).

Thats funny cause when you watch the video on the first race the LEGIT one you can totally tell I blew your doors off missed shift or not I still had you and you know I let off and hit the break on the second video cause of that deer that was standing by the side of the road. Our next video will be titled big stupid cam ls1 vs 2011 slow 5.0
