8.05 and shifting? He's kind of a big deal.

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

Didn't he run something like a 7.96 awhile back?

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

did anyone else see that vapor trail? lol, at least it looked like it!

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

I heard something bout that, but im not that sure.

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

Damn that thing comes out of the hole nice!

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

Yea, he ran a 7.97 @ 179 last year, at E-town, vs. a fast fwd civic. I have the incar and grandstand views of the run. The incar is cool, cause his lexan windshield bows in towards the end of the track, and then pops back out when he's slowing back down.

The 7.xx was on the spray, the 8.04 is all boost.

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

48 lbs. Looks like a 7 will occur once he get's the motor settled out, and other vehicles taken care of.

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

I guess the new head is working good for him. He said he was going to wait until he breaks his old time with just boost before he adds the nitrous.

He also has a lot of weight reduction done to the car. I believe it was about 22xxlbs or around there. Pretty nuts if you look at it and the normal person couldnt tell what he removed. I cant wait for the shootout!

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

looks good coming out of the hole indeed!

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

That would be correct. And that is a dam clean setup.

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

Sweet setup! Man I love shep's car.

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

That is the sickest car on the planet. Period.

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

damn, that's the goal guys...very nice.

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

That is my goal. But, I'll never get there. I wanna have a single digit pass sometime though. That's what I'm after. it will take a LONG ass time to get there, but I hope someday, that will occur. I hope shep get's his motor and other situations sorted out for the shootout. Same to rau.

i love the details. i like the removable braces on the manifold collector. looks like he's logging pressure in the exh manifold too, or am i wrong? what cam gears are those?

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

I think they are Unorthodox cam gears? Exhaust manifold pressure is important also, I think you ajust your cam timing to reduce exhaust manifold pressure.

nice run indeedy..is he still have problems with his rear-ends?

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

I think my favorite thing about Shep's car is his "intake" as you can see through the bumper.

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

My favorite thing about his car is the color!!

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

To hell with all that... I like the power/speed.

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

hes got a 16g right?

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

I really like his custom coolant system, the long tubular manifold, his Oil catch can(cause I got the same one), and how hes rockin no front mount and no radiator!!!

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

Methonal for the win.

~John

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

He had no need for those. It used to be water-to-air, but now it's all meth injection, and race fuel. As for the block, it's hard-filled/concreted. Coolant only flows through the head, and that's it. He changes coolant and oil every run, like most of those guys do. If you see an in-car video, watch the 2nd gauge in. His water temps shoot up as he runs the car, it's amazing the car can take that. (o-ringed the block)

P.S. They are unorthodox cam gears, if someone was still unsure.

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

i don' remember him ever running a W2A IC setup. and its not meth and race fuel, its 100% meth.

Re: Shep runs 8.05@180 on the 29th
 

I coulda sworn he had the w2a setup last year in ST. luis. Maybe I'm wrong. And, his site says meth injection/fuel.
