Here is a sneak preview inside the powerplant of the APE Shop Car, now dubbed Project Black Mamba.

Our goal is to have it fired up and testing within the next two weeks, our second goal is to run 7's at the Thunder Shootout in November, and after who knows.

It will be a 359ci Iron Block with our big daddy Procharger F-2 strapped to it. With any luck we should be able to make north of 1200hp at the flywheel with this set-up. Stay tuned for details.

Pics can be seen here.

 

No comments here?

For anyone that will be at the Thunder Racing Shoot-Out in Lousiana that is where we plan to debut the car and take the LS1 record.

 

I'll save my comments for when you post the videos of the 1/4 runs It looks like a nice set up with some great parts but I saw all the pics before the N vs S and never saw the car run. I'm a pesimist. Show me a time slip, video, and/or a dyno sheet.
Hope it runs like you expect. That will be exciting.

 

Looks good Nick!

Keep us posted on the results!

 

Thanks for the positive input guys.

The car will debut at the Thunder Racing Shootout in Lousiana. We will be going for the goal of the first LS1 powered car in the 7's on stock suspension.

 

When is this thunder racing shoot out? I live about 45 minutes from B.R. so I'll definately be there if I can get some dates to request off of work.

I believe the race is the second weekend in November. Perhaps Thunder's site has something up about it.
