Its been a long time in the making! Was not expecting to hit that number last night. The goal was just to dial in the car and make sure everything works. Turns out....it works fine. Not sure if I even want to attemp the 2nd stage at this point.

60 ft 1.37
1/8th 5.76
mph 121.99
1/4 8.97
mph 151.05

I will post the time slip when I have a chance to scan it.

Want to thank Nitro Dave and Nitrous Outlet, Moe Bailey, Charles Bourassa, Kyle, my wife, and the rest of the crew for all your help!

Things I need to fix:

The stall converter is flashing to only 3100 on the brake. It is supposed to be a 4000 stall. Gonna have to loosen it up a little. Car was lazy out of the hole.

My alternator belt flew off a couple of passes before the 8.97. I was running only on battery power. I need to see why the belt flew off. Maybe alignment problem.

My IAT temps were 136*. Right now I am running just an open 4 barrel throttle body with no hat or bonnet or any type of cold air pipe. It was sucking in some serious hot air. Need to fab up something to help that.

Overall I can't complain. Car performed better than expected.

I am ready for the shootout!

 

badass!

 

Thats great! Get the bugs worked out and I would think you should see a slight improvement.

Have you told Taner yet?

Huge congrats Tony. I know it has been a long time coming!

 

Tony are you still thinkin about moving to a big single setup? I do believe the LTX shootout should be yours again this year setup like it is

 

Kick ***! So much for just dialing it in huh?.................sometimes things just come together like that. Congrats man, awesome work!

 

Damn son! That thing moves, has come along way since i last saw the car in person a few years back in SAR. Congrats once again Shep.

 

Great Job Tony!! From a post a few months back I know you were a bit deflated about continuing but really glad you pushed on. Its really paying off! I think that you've assembled a great car! Any loyouts in the near future?

Mec

 

Congrats Tony on hitting the 8 second club

 

Thank you all! It has been a long road.

My plans for a future turbo build are long gone now with the birth of my daughter a few months back. Priority is priority. I will have to run this current combo for a few years at least. No biggie. This nitrous setup is working great.
