11.04 @ 122 - Stupid LT1!!
 

I'm so close to 10s...it's driving me nuts.

Went to Cecil County Raceway in MD on Friday night. Had good air (about 60-degrees at the time of the two runs I did make before getting booted for no cage) and okay track prep.

On Thursday, I finished the install of my Wolfe rear solid swaybar, which, IMO, is hands down the best suspension modification a drag racer could do. When properly adjusted, the car leaves straight as an arrow. Before, I had alot of left-hand pull while the car meandered down the track. That's a thing of the past. 60's tonight were 1.54 and 1.57 (best to date is a 1.52) respectively, spinning just a bit each time.

Someone else filmed the 11.04 run, so I'll post the vid of that once it's available. Here's a video of the second run of the night, an 11.11. :(

For those that don't know, the car is an AI heads/cam/383 + bolt-ons through a 4L60E and Ford 9". Still untuned (mail-order only) and still under-geared.

Geez, what a slow car.

;)


Throw a 50 shot at it!

:lol: That's not till NEXT year. :)

Honestly just going to Atco should get me an extra tenth!

that car is very impressive! would you mind expanding on your setup? you can pm me if you like. just wondering what rotating assembly, gear ratio, tire size, trans parts, etc. basically everything to make it go fast :D

I have no secrets, sure. Here's the list:

Ohio 4340 forged 1-piece RMS 3.75" stroke crank
Forged Scat 6" I-beam rods
Forged JE -5cc flat-tops
Zero-decked, 4-bolt factory LT1 block with modified oil gallies
Canton 7qt 242T oil pan
Melling 10552 high volume/pressure pump
Advanced Induction 200cc cylinder heads
Crane Gold 1.6 rockers, beehive springs
Custom grind AI hydraulic roller cam (23x/24x, .60x" on a 108 LS).
AI ported intake manifold (powdercoated green...;))
42# Lucas/Delphi injectors
Stock fuel pressure regulator and lines
Walbro 255lph fuel pump/Racetronix harness
LPP stainless steel stepped headers
Hooker cat-back with a Quicktime electric cutout
CSI electric water pump
Holley 58mm throttle body
Factory ram air box, factory untouched MAF
BMR boxed LCAs, PHR
Spohn torque arm, chassis mount
Ford 9", full spool, 3.90 gears with Wilwood rear brakes
Weld Pro Stars front/rear - 165s front, 26x10.5x15" rear.
Wolfe solid rear swaybar
PCMforless.com mail-order tune

And I think that's about it...maybe. :shock:

I have to agree. This really makes the car go up and out straight. IMO Cecil is a bit quicker that Atco. I'm usually a .10 quicker at Cecil.

Nice runs! What converter are you running?

It's a custom Performabuilt 4000, but will likely get pulled for a larger Yank.

Wolf makes a nice roll bar too. I don't have a cage just an 8 point roll bar with swing outs in my car. I'm good to run as quick as 10.0. I believe you only need a 5 point bar to run that fast.

Yeah, I have the 6-point Wolfe weld-in bar ready to go, just need to have it welded in.

damn oh so close joe!! next time bro. good job

man that car is fast... congratulations on the new best though...

well race motor to motor when i get home Joe, then spray to spray next season ;)

Thanks for the write up on the mods! definitely got me thinkin

is it a performabuilt trans? stage 2?

Yessir, stage 2!

Car sounds awesome. Congrats on the new best.

wOW !! Thats Moving !! :drool: Tweak that tune and your in the 10's

How do you like that trans?

I'm thinking of going with theyre setup... Why are you pulling the stall?

Very nice pass, a little spray and you are definitely there

How awesome is the AI stuff :)

almost as good as my LE stuff ;)
