That's better power than I would've expected from the 5.7 and bolt on's.

It's a head/cam car with bolt on's.

DEI everything I could to keep heat down


I need to put it back on the rollers, but expect it to be around 450ish whp now, gets around 32mpg on the highway. Full interior, cold A/C, need to work on the stereo upgrades here. For next season I'm looking at some assists to help launch and a 50-150 shot of nitrous most likely. A Fast manifold should be another 10-20hp, but not sure I need that if I can pull some weight out of it.

It's coming together as a street car :)

Nice work.

I've had good luck with this:

I have it in my fusion and I love it. Full android function in car is very nice.

Im also looking at the clutch tamer. I have been chatting with them and they are recommending their new hydraulic version for me. Which version are you considering? Big thing for me is that ideally I don't want it to affect any gears other than 1st.

[niterydr]

I'm looking at the hit master B-man.

Update to the mods:
Adding a light weight battery (should drop around 25-28 lbs) and a line lock this week. I have one last crack at it next Saturday night if weather holds out, otherwise 10's will have to wait until next year.

Also ordered a Amazon Fire 7 for the dual din project this "winter".

[niterydr]

Small update: Adding a 90mm plate nitrous kit here. Should have pictures up in the next few weeks.

[Kracka]

I mean, might as well...

Been making progress. Of course nothing goes as fast as you want it to.

Installed the LineLock, Nitrous system, and LNC-2000 timing controller and 2 step with a lighter battery (should offset the weight of the nitrous kit)


Also installed a backup camera, Dual Din radio setup (went with the ATO A6, not the amazon fire pad), wideband gauge (14point7, with switch reads both banks), and switches to control it all. Finally I added a hardwire kit to the fuel pump and a boost a pump.

Need to do before track time:
Bleed front brakes (rears done)
Oil Change
Spark plug change

Things I am working on as well before TX2k2020:
Making the fuel covers fit and cover the wiring
Front mesh for the air intake
Some interior leather and hydro carbon bits
Upgrading lights
New street tires in the rear, more drag radial focused.

Hoping for that 10.999 off the bottle and maybe a 10.5 with a little oxygen assistance.

[niterydr]

Fuel rail covers are back on and fit after some massaging. Need to do some wet standing and touch up some clear on the edges, but they should work.

Ready to serve up some 1/2 price apps at Gapplebees.

Made some shakedown passes last night.

11.4@121 NA
11.2@126 - 50 shot.

Chasing some Knock retard in the tune, think I found it. Need to get this car to come out of the hole harder.

Update:

Re-doing some of the setup. On the 75 pill I am not happy with the pressure drop when opening the fuel solenoid and it is still tracking leaner.

So I am swapping to a larger intake manifold, Ported FAST 102 from Tony Mamo. He feels that it should pick up 20+RWHP in most of the powerband, will see! Since I dyno'd last (445) I ported the throttle body and went to a 4" intake, that has yielded 122mph traps N/A.

In addition, I am adding a fuel pump, adding a fuel pressure regulator, adding a return line, switching to a newer style PCV setup, switching out nitrous plates, switching to a nitrous progressive controller and tidying up the "top end" overall.

Ideally it cranks out 470+ N/A when its back together. Then back to the track, see if I can find that 10.99 I'm after. I'll also dyno it on the 100 pills and see what we do.

Have to keep busy during this covid-19 situation!
