The motor popped, but a new one is on the way, that motor was a 398 LT1, AFR 220s and a 260/260 cam.

 

anyone know what the car weights?

 

Bring that car to the Winternationals!

The exhaust sounds totally brutal, open headers?

 

Your kidding right??

 

We'll I've ran open headers around the block on my car before and his car reminded me of that
If that car does have mufflers, they are straight thru!

 

I think he said it weighs around 3360, but I may be off a little. Mine weighs 3580 Time to ebay the Alpine..

 

wait what is the fastest f-body down to now? I know naturally aspirated about a month ago it was an LT1, is that turbo LT1 also the fastest 4th gen f-bod period or was it just the fastest LT1...

 

The fastest stock style suspension f-body is Rick Head, 7.60's on drag radials (twin turbo SBC) The fastest f-body that races at the LS1tech events and posts on the internet is Matt Harlan- 8.20's (twin turbo LS1)

 

Apparently all that was wrong with the motor was a spun bearing. The block held up to 1500+hp on the dyno, cant wait to see what itll do with that power at the track..

 

Open downpipes maybe?

Is Rick Head the same one mentioned in this thread? If not, why year F-body?

When will the formula get new bearings? Glad to hear the LT block held up, someone in another thread said the block let go, or a rod did and FUBAR'd the block.

 

Interesting he used a 398, i figured he would go with a 355 or something for more strength. Thicker cylinder walls and less mean piston speed should make the whole setup stonger. What rpm is(was) he running it up to? And what max boost is he hitting?

 

I didnt know any 4th gen had made it to the 7's yet... what size motor is that 8.20 twin turbo ls1 running?

 

346-348, stock block, stock crank. nothing else stock except the color of the car.

 

Rick Heads car is a 3rd gen I believe

 

wait that 8.2 ls1 has a stock block AND STOCK CRANK.... thats one hell of a feat.
