Progress since last year

[santa]

Well, I just made my appointment lol. Richard at Mean Street Performance will be installing a 10 point chromoly roll cage that will cert to 8.50's sometime around mid December lol. He is way backed up! He does awesome work and is very fair on the price!! I knew if I didn't call sooner then later that he would be booked all winter! Time to strip out the interior and send it off to get "safe"! In the mean time I'll be updating with a write up on building the auto up! Stay tuned!! 2011... low 9's? high 8's? :D Gotta set the bar higher!!

Get that cage in?

Where is the dyno plot of power vs RPM?

Do u miss me yet?

I heard this turbo will make 650 under 30psi, what r u hoping for?

Can u tell I'm bored.

I'll post a chart I got on my phone of rpm. The 734hp was me letting off at 6800ish rpm it looks like.

As far as the cage goes, I just dropped off 1/2 of the money to Richard last night. Only catch is it's going into map's old blue talon that Kyle went 9's in 3 years ago! Should be about 4-500lbs lighter then my last car as is.

As far as the rest of things are going the auto trans and t-case are sitting in my garage untouched yet. I'll be building my own trans, and once the cage and tube work is done on the chassis it's a matter of putting it together!

My block is out for o-ringing right now, I'll put the motor back together once that's back. I'm hoping once the snow is gone I'll be close to driving it.

Yes miss u lots..... ;)!!!

Holy crap, 4-500 lbs lighter and an auto this year? You should be able to dip into the 9's no problemo if everything works out!

8's? I hope I get to witness that awesomeness! Car should be sick.

If you made 740 some horse at 45psi with a stick, I would guess based on weight your trap speed will be in the mid/low 140's threw an auto, good luck on the quest for 8's. I made 15hp more then swifty up at DB, and swifty made 729 or what ever on the dyno day at MAP and my race weight was 2450lbs with driver and my best trap speed is 149mph.

Edit: nice numbers for 35psi on a billet 67.

John, I made that 734hp at 35psi not 45psi, with a stock intake manifold(I've got a sheet metal for it now). I'm going to be at 45psi at least, and also running some nitrous. Swifty made 729hp at map this fall. You also only made a few test passes, I'm sure you'll trap faster then that once you get all the bugs out of it. My new car might even be lighter then that with the tubing work on the front (also need to find a cf hood for it). I wont know until its assembled. Through the auto with the juice I'd hope to make around 800hp. 800hp @2750 which would be its current weight on a calculator would be 8.726@155. Obviously those things are a dream meter but it gives me something to go off of.

Lol@734@35psi.

These new turbos make that old shit look rediculous.
