Building and working on a 900whp plus drag car requires a full time and dedicated team. We have been working around the clock this last week to get her ready for the dyno and track.
We where having bearing issues for some time now and finally put a aem map sensor on the oil pressure. What we found was 1st to 2nd gear we would drop 30 psi of oil pressure. Than in 2nd to 3rd gear we would drop about 15psi ad in 4th we were fine. So all our oil would hit the back of the pan starving our bearings.
Here is some of the mods we did to the pan to try and help the bearing issues.

The map volts (pink line) is the oil pressure we just translate them into psi with a chart.




So we will get so more feedback this weekend on the oil pressure
We also noticed with rev's over 9k the hydrolic tensioner would go haywire and loosen the belt up so we made a solid one piece to keep the belt tight

We also cut the fuel tank in half and tig welded it back together to save weight. This allowed us to put the fuel pump on the other side where the saddle tank was


AND some more


We switched our cams from the BC 280s to the GSC S2 cams ( Thankyou Greg for overnighting them! )
Also switched our 1.02 divided housing to a 128 divided house which should make more power without losing spool.

Some random pics of the car







Got my NHRA license!!!

Funny story behind the rims. Me and my Les Schwab's tire guy must have tried about 25 different rims to fit and we came up with these. I would say my tire guy has sold about 15 sets of the rims to Evom members
There 15" Track Lights and the tires are 26x8.5x 15"
Al has them I noticed Dan has them and Usp motorsports has them. Mines Performance just ordered some
