Default New Personal Best of 7.685 @ 185 mph

Located issues that hurt us at Holley fest.

We took the car to Atco for testing and clicked off a new PB.

We still have a long way to go and now we will be working on improving the short time.

A big thanks to Kevin (Badassbu) and Dan (Fast6) of Smalley's Performance in Point Pleasant for crewing for me.

Hey! I helped push the car back in the trailer...

I sure wish I had gotten there earlier. But, someone didn't tell me they were going to the track...

Good to see you again and I'm thrilled you're getting the bugs worked out.

When we tried out a new gear-set last month at Cecil, Racepak recorded 51.4 PSI

We slowed down the blower with a new gear-set and we recorded 41 PSI in this video pass of 7.685.

Car picked up 2 tenths and 2 mph with 10 lbs less boost. Boost doesn't always equate more net HP. The HP required to spin that 130 to 51 from 41 was more than the HP created. We are working on finding the sweet spot.

HP wise, I can tell you the BSFC is in the 2000 range on a 275lb injector

I'm waiting for NMCA to introduce a class, "Loudest F/I LS Motor" *Fender exhaust permitted.
