New Best ET & MPH Last Night.

Yet another new best today at the track. New best on the motor and on the nitrous. Sooooooo close to 10s on the motor and 9s on the nitrous:

 

Great work! Hard to argue with your numbers that engine combo rocks!

 

Here are some videos from yesterday's track outing:

Motors pass:

Will you need a better roll cage when you go into the 9s or is that already done?

 

We won't get into that.....

 

I really had to BITE my tongue when I read this ! uzzled:

 

LOL. I bet! Just remember. I didn't say it.

 

Made it into the 10s all motor last night. 10.95 @ 122 with no nitrous. I drove it 75 miles to the track, ran 3 consecutive 10 second passes and drove home.

 

Another new best with no nitrous:

 

WTG. Looks like you broke out of the 7.50 index.

 

Nice to hear an update.. I can't see the attachment but I am guessing it is a time slip? Please let us know how fast is ran and what changes you have made since last time?

Nice!! I am loving the LS 5.3 in my truck its so smooth, good on fuel, and reliable!

 

That is just absolutely awesome - congrats now and on making the journey to get there :beer

I've had my eye on this thread since day1 ..

Lately I've had the inkling to juice up the SportWagon quite a bit but it has to be totally drivable .. I can see myself still having it in 20 years or beyond and a 1,000,000 miles on it but its also got to scoot.

.. and I keep coming to the conclusion that LS-power it the way to go. You've pretty much proved it too.

Bravo

 

For those who might be interested, I am still chipping away at the performance of my 65 Lark. Here is a video from my latest trip to the track. These are 1/8 mile videos, but it is running 9.30s @ 144 with this tuneup in the 1/4 and I am still able to drive it anywhere. These runs are with a "medium" shot of nitrous. More to come. Note: All of popping and tire chirping is from the turbo Honda in the next lane.

Nice stuff how is the tranny holding up? Did you see hookup the lockup converter? Very cool car!

 

0 to 132mph in 10 seconds!!!

 

I had to go to a 4L80E. The TH200 started exploding rear planetary gears once I got into the 9 second zone. The 4L80E is a much more solid piece. But, it is heavy as hell. No free lunch.

Now it is 0 to 144 MPH in 9 seconds. Sooo much fun. According to the Wallace 0-60 calculator, that is 0-60 in 1.58 seconds.
