I think it turned arouhnd 380rwhp off the spray and around 390rwtq.

I figure with a good launch, the current gears and using the 'brake he'd run a high 11 or a little better at the current weight.

The car ain't setup to run N/A.

At least, that's my opinion.

First of all, to answer matts question the car has never made a N/A pass. Doug you are exactly right in the reason why. The car simply isnt set up to run N/A, he chose the cam, stall, etc. based on nitrous. I imagine it would run some 11's though. The car went some high 7.5's@96 (1/8) on the motor when he had the
6-spd.

As far as dougs questions, I will try my best.

Shifts at 6600

The stall and tranny were built by Brad Ector (BradCo.) in Shepherdsville, KY. Never has tried to foot brake the car to see what the stall is.

He uses the brake every launch, that time I believe it was
2 stepped at 3300.

The plate can go up to 300, TNT will give you another jetting card to go higher HP #'s, all Jason did was switch primary feed to -6AN instead of the supplied -4AN. (I believe that is the only reason why companies discourage going higher than 225)

All he has as far as fasteners go is ARP rod and main bolts.

LT-1 ATI? pro-damper, SFI flexplate (not sure of brand) internal balance.

Travel limiters (only 1.5 inches of travel), Torque Arm adjustment to the bottom hole, and stiffer shock setting are the only things different from when he did the big wheelie.

He would be happy to answer any questions you may have, if you want e-mail me at twistedwedge@msn.com and I will give you his #.

Blwn1- We are both from LaGrange, KY. He is thinking about running in the race at clay city if he can get his wiring done. He was having some problems with the nitrous coming in and out the last few passes saturday. He is in the process of re-wiring the system as we speak.

That video of the car was sick. The launch was simply brutal. How does he get it to launch straight? Oh well.

Lots and lots of chassis tuning and good components....Actually on that pass he got out of the groove. My other buddy got the pass on video from the back and you can see when it drifts out of the groove in midair and starts laying down black marks (spinning) So, still more chassis tuning is in store, we have a new tuning setting to try next time...

Sucks cause he has never been able to try tuning the motor b/c we are always too busy with the chassis!
