It sure should! You're gonna need a tighter converter with all that torque! ;) I got a turbo v8 build on my hands at the moment too...should have a thread going in the next couple weeks.. Sure thing Brent, keep me in the loop when you try again.

Fair enough. :)

Only thing I can add is there should be a bead at the end of the pipe to aid with hose retention...

Very true. Tight converters, high gears, and heavy weight do not = stellar launches ;)

Brent, since you're not auto, i would give 15-20* a try and see what happens. Adding some more fuel there wouldnt hurt either. Ian, most auto drag guys advance their timing a lot to get into boost and "on the converter". Completely opposite of the clutch guys :) Edit - I think the reason why...

I still have a new in-the-box CFX 2" cowl if anyone wants it....it'll cost a premium though :)

It couldn't have been the MAF. It could have been the AFM though. Congrats on fixing it. Did he pay for his screw up?

Are you 5sp or auto? That has alot of bearing on the tire choice....

Lookin' good Mo!

Me with some OG supra guys at the bar....i cant ever smile or be normal for the camera...

Absolutely 100% unacceptable. Pet peeve of mine.

a load? :greddy2: ;) I only went to work and had tires mounted for the chevelle.

Wow....I might have to bring the chevelle out for the true 10.5 class....just got a motor for her so she may be up and running soon :) Dunno if i could make that long ass drive again though! Good luck with the event Jeff, and the rules look pretty decent. Would be cool to see a mandatory 30 mile...

Sounds like a plan....keep me posted on the progress. Sounds like it should fly.

Tranny selection should really be based more on the amount of power being made, the gear ratio, converter, and the tire type/size. There are lots of guy in the domestic world with cars over 3200lbs that use glides. Cars that make well over 1500 hp on a small radial that need that high 1st gear...

jz, I'd say you should be good to go.

Keith, sorry to hear that. But you gotta do what you gotta do. It's hard enough as it is year after year even with the sponsors, so I can see how its nearly impossible without them. But hey, look on the plus side. My car might actually be done for the next one in 2010. Maybe.

Jason, he wants to know if you'll make a duplicate of your setup. He wants it very badly. :)

A BDS blower for $50?? You lucky dog.... Doesn't get more 80s than a pro-street with a roots blower ;) Did it have a wild paint scheme too?

Yes. Yes it is. :) Here's mine and CT = Dual source 64....been doing a lot of heart scans lately (although i don't do them at night since there is no radiologist present) but its quite a piece of machinery, when its not broken...some of the 3d recons are amazing Angio = dual tube that does...
