Yes sir. Plugs I think are at .16 but she still pulls smooth and makes power all the way to 8500

I saw you posted up your results and i will get you on the list asap Congrats again!
Thanks again. Next year it will be a little more impressive just didn't have much time this season for it.

It's awesome to see a car in the 9's with so many stock parts still. These cars truly are amazing.

Congrats on your 9 sec pass and I hope to see more from you!

No sir forgot to add that to the mods list. It's the shep stage 2. Probably to most expensive part I've had to put on the car haha

Also should mention stock shocks with tein s-tech springs. No coilovers here!

Last time I weighed it I was on a stock frame turbo and with just the driver seat it came to 2830 with me in it. Add the t3 setup and passenger seat so still roughly under 3k

Very nice, good to see someone going fast and using simple parts to do it. Have you logged oil pressure? Just wondering if you have anything else done for oil control when launching that well (crank scraper, baffled oil pan, etc).

Well done man

Love it.

I've been pondering a build similar to this, but I question the eagle's once you turn up the boost. How many miles on this setup?

Nice work.

Turbotalon I actually had #3 rod give out on me. I was having overheating issues at the track which led to believe a head gasket failure plus my radiator was bulging out on the end tanks once I got it home. With that I believe I was pushing coolant and actually saved the rods temporarily. The day I replaced the head gasket I got maybe 3 test pulls in and the rod literally destroyed itself. Completely came off the crank journal and piston. Wrist pin still in tact and crank got pretty scarred up. The rods were no doubt the weak point and once I was able to run it with a fresh gasket there was a noticeable difference performance wise. Spun in 3rd gear rolling into boost. The short block has since been replaced and updates are to follow.

I had about 40k miles on the motor and maybe 500 miles on the turbo/fuel setup
