What an Awsome Day, New PB!

[A.J.]

What a way to end the year, the new convertor was spot on and those Hoosier Drag Radials were like glue! So, first pass of the day launch the car and it carries the front tires and then goes in tire shake, so I peddle the car and then it shuts off, so I am coasting trying to figure out what happened, car wont start so I think its a turbo pipe that might have blown off, pull over on the track, open the hood, everything looks ok, Jay (Blown04) comes down on the mini-trooper, try and start it again and I dont hear the fuel pumps, the damn Inertia switch shut off! Jay resets it, car starts right up, pull back to the starting line for another crack.

60ft.- 1.419
330 - 3.839
1/8 - 5.781
MPH - 127.01
1000 - 7.450
1/4 - 8.865

A New PB!!

So, cool the car down and I make some adjustments to my AEM boost gauge and try again:

330 - 3.745
1/8 - 5.690
MPH - 126.86

I have mixed emotions, on one hand I am very happy, all the hard work has paid off, but the person that has shared every step of the way with the build of this car and the progress could not be there to see it, I know he was watching, but he would have loved to see that pass! Thanks Dad for everything, I love and miss you!

Motor ??? turbo ?? how much boost ?? trans ??? what does it weigh ??

Motor: Boss 302 Big Bore, Ported 4.6 Cobra Heads by (Paschal Performance/Texas) Manley Billet Rods, Diamond Pistons, Crower Cams, Stock Cobra Crank, HP Twin Turbo kit with 62MM Ceramic Ball Bearing Turbo's, Meziere Water Pump, Canton Oil Pan.
Transmission: Freddy Brown 4STBE 4r70W. Boost on the 8.76 pass was 24psi, it was tuned on 27lbs and made 990 RWHP! It weighs with me in it 3600lbs, not too bad for a street car with AC, PW, Air Bags, and a 6 CD with the Amps still in the trunk!
