With everything going on right now, what is everyone up to? Who has a cool build going on? I know there is threads like this posted before but I’m just trying to get something going. Maybe stir the pot some trash talk or whatever lol. Nothing with best the “my chitbox” thread imo. Pure comedy. so for me I’ve been changing stuff on the car. Swapped from a Vortech ti to a procharger d1x. Tune is next month so I’ll be posting the dyno up from that. Here’s a list of the old and new stuff and a little background of my car.

previous
lme 416
91+meth
vortech ti 3.47/10%
861/735
stock trans
178mph in the standing 1/2

now the new stuff
d1x 3.55/10%
dual meth
rpm stage 5 trans
spal fans
tracspec vents

so far the fans are definitely doing their job. The vents get installed this weekend but should definitely help removing air. But that’s all I can think of at this moment. Here’s some pics of the car

the ti was great. I had absolutely no issues with it. Ran 178 in the half and 147mph in the 1/4 on a soft pass. Definitely did it’s thing. Ysi will give you a lot of room to grow

Sweet ride! Best of success with it!

I’m still in the process of building my drag radial car. Single turbo, iron 370 on M1, no IC. 9”/4-link/TH400. Holley Dominator.

I’m hoping to get it out to Yellow Bullet Nationals on Labor Day weekend.
