Can you elaborate on your combo? Are you still using an LTx intake manifold?

Thanks

Joseph: 10.06 was all motor?

It looks like you will be needing a cage soon, right?

Thanks for the info Joe.....what intake did you use (vic jr., brodix, holley, other)? Also, are you using a 4 blade (carb style) throttle body or stock style? I am going to do a vic jr. conversion on my setup (FI) this winter.

Thanks for any info
Jason

Joe,

Is this IHRA? It takes I believe 6 passes in the NHRA, and along with that you have to run 2-3 all out 9 second passes to get the license.

Congrats Nonetheless! Are you still planning on using the Dry N20 at a later date?

I was also wondering what intake you used? As I plan on doing the same thing this winter. And post some pics of your set-up. Should be 9's no problem, good luck.

Kurt yes its Ihra and 2 6.49 or quicker in the 1/8 applies even though they were 10.0 passes.. though the gas isn;'t on the car yet. I do however have the intaked tapped for the fogger and all the lines prebent to make it easy to throw on when the time is right,, Since its hard to tune for n/a with a larger injector to compensate for a large shot..I chose to go with a fogger this time to get the best of both worlds and alot better cylinder to cylinder tuning...

I'm running a lingenfelter design accell intake and 4 blade 1200 cfm tb with some work done to it ..its flowing around 1350 or so now..

Steve not quite sure still need to scale it but I beleive around 3200 or so with me in it..I still have factory carpeting and its a t-top car..plus the front half of cage I added ,put back some of the weight I pulled.... I'm running a afr227 head big runner volume ,so I was kind of undershifting the car at 6800,which is what i shifted at last year just to get a base line comparison ...Gonna move shift points up some this week and take advantage of all that air that these heads can actually flow.This motor will spin 8g easily so I have to see where it likes it ..only so many runs in a day to find out what it likes let alone get all the fuel and timing tables right at the same time.. But thanks for the reply..Your car isnt no slouch either..

What are the specs on the cam you are running Joe (if you dont mind my asking)? Also, what fuel?

Also, I tried sending you an email but it came back undeliverable??

Thanks!
Jason
