We have the Big Orange Impy with the Procharger blowthru setup and has a 512inch in it. That setup would work well in my 95T/A. On that pass were you just spraying it or blower and N2o? LMK later Clint
That was on a 275 shot out the hole, no blower yet.

Well we readjusted the suspension and gave it another try tonight. We ended up running a 5.50 @ 110 in first gear. It didn't want to go into second. We think it's the linkage, we'll try to get it figured out tomorrow in the day light.

That's sick.... I'm sure LOW 5s are easily attainable with the 1-2 shift... Great job man. Dayum...

Can you give me some stats on the motor? I'm thinking about a 540ci myself.

Thanks

And I was actually thinking about a 572ci with Pro 1 CNCs....

Just out of curiosity, what does the car run off the gas?

It ran bottom 10's / 130 + mph @ Thunder Shootout, and 6.30's @ Mobile in Brady's car, but it has a T-400 and 3.55's. Sure it would be a little faster in the silver car, but for some reason we never get a chance to run on motor
