Runs good but idk why your shocked.. it pur 660 down.. that's easy 9s... You need to get that converter issue resolved.. I know u can get more mph out of that setup

Car sounds killer at idle! Obviously the converter is not liking the spray.. Definitely gonna have to restall it for spray. Also sounds like some more tuning is needed for the shifts...TM or something killing it on shifts.

No doubt its gonna fly with the right converter and tune.. 9.50 car no problem.

Why I'm shocked is because I've been around the game long enough. I've seen 1,000rwhp cars not get out of the 11's all my life (everyone knows a car/person like that) and was worried. Just cause a car makes a number on a dyno doesn't mean its gonna put a number up on a track board. Especially being a new platform that's new to every shop in the world. Read that time slip and look at those 60fts with 19 inch drag radials and tell me that's not shocking. I know many full suspension built cars not throwing 1.40 60ft out of their cars. Maybe I'm a person that goes into something with low expectations but in my experience with corvettes. A 1.40 60ft on 19 inch mickeys is impressive to me.


We will see next week end what it's got fully. Late model Racecraft is working their butts off to figure these cars out and I'm just glads it mine they're taken the time to do it with. Lol

Congrats on the 9.999 - and no doubt we can tweak the converter to get you much deeper into the 9s. But the 9.999 is just so cool, it almost sounds scripted.

A 1.40 is excellent for any street/strip car... Let alone a bone stock car with road race suspension and on rubber band tire.. I'm very impressed with the front half for sure. Once they get the converter tightened up on the spray its really gonna rip.. That's a 137mph trap car easy.

Pretty freakin impressive by any standards, but for minimal mods and almost stock like driveability, you can't beat it.

does this sound as crazy/ different in person as it does in the video. sounds nothing like an lsx motor almost sounds flat plane crankish. also why does it sound like a very fast shifting manual trans car instead of an auto?
