Yeah he was getting pretty excited for the event but the weather looks sh*tty...Thanks for the suggest on the tranny fluid ill have to look into that...haha that piston/rod was from Jamie's old motor that was at Epic...I thought it would be a nice paper weight/desk decoration...


Holy crap...How you doing Jamie? Hows the car running? Good luck at the autox event!

 

Great update! Car is looking good. Can't wait to see what results you get with the manifold

 

Dude, seriously? That's moving! What mods do you have more/different than me than the COP? What elevation and temps when you hit those traps? I was hoping for at least 117-118ish, but now you're making me think I might have a prayer at possibly hitting 120 mph.

 

And I haven't even gotten a clean pass with the car yet...Can't wait till I do...All my mods are listed in the beginning and throughout the thread. I actually hit 120mph+ 3 times on saturday...Elevation wise...I think Englishtown is at sea level or pretty damn close & it was mid to low 60s on saturday...You hitting 120mph all depends on your tuner & your driver mod...haha...Good luck...

 

Awesome. Looks like you have some solid mods more than me, so even if I pull some clean passes I'm thinking 120+ mph is going to be really tough. Gives me a good idea of what I need to do next to get there though. How do you like your MAP Rev 3 IM and O2 dump?

 

+1111111111111111 ???

 

Once my tune is cleaned up some more & I get a clean run down the track I don't see 125mph or real close being a problem....So with the mods you have and a good tune you should be able to hit 120mph...MAP rev 3 IM is awesome...they port the hell out of this thing...its ridiculous...coating is real nice as well...

 

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback. I think I'm going to find out one way or another tomorrow night at one of the test and tune events down here in San Antonio. 600 ft. of elevation, relatively low humidity for the last few weeks, and temps should be below 80, so about as good of conditions as I'm going to find down here. Keep up the good work with your car. Just think how quick it's going to be when you cut the weight down!

 

Good stuff!

Sounds good man...keep us updategd on how you do...Good luck hitting 120mph! When I weighed it I was hoping to be in the 3200 range with me in the car, not 3350! Haha oh well...This winter ill probably try and go though the car and do as much free weight reduction as I can...haha...

 

I saw that picture yesterday...thanks for posting it man!

 

I need an oil change so I might as-well

 

OK, cool. Will do. Looking forward to seeing how your build/project progresses, especially with the addition of the new tubular EM.

 

Definitely...I'm sure I will loose a little down low with spool because of the 1.5" runners but top end should be real nice...BBK Full spools quick enough though so I'm sure it won't bother me....

Do you plan on shifting to 5th in the 1/4 or staying in 4th to hit 120? I see you have springs and whatnot so you CAN rev to 8500 or so if you want...1st-3rd gear I am shifting around 7900-8...I bumped my rev limiter to 8300 so I can rev out 4th gear and not have to shift to 5th...You can probably set your rev limiter to around 8250 and hit 120mph...I'm sure that may change a little depending on tire size too...I am running 255/40/17 tires....

 

Great work sir! Impressive traps with the full, looking forward to your test with the toxicfab mani. I want to get a build thread goin but it would really only be a Fp green install! Again excellent work, lookin forward to more updates!
