We ran it in True Street in Bowling Green. Best pass was 12.15 @ 114. I was hoping for a 12.0, but that was pretty close.

Now we'll lean it out (was at 11.0:1 AFR), up the boost from 6 to 10lbs, swap the Nittos for M/Ts, and see what we get!

Had fun this weekend!!!

One thing I've learned on the KB's...go big with the nozzle size...I'm up to 2 nozzles that combined is 18 gph and run it off a boost switch...stay away from the controllers;)

hmm curious about the mark pulley myself, is it actually smaller? Hell my stock one is sitting in the basement lol, I still think the UD was like 2 inches smaller or so. I didnt think there was a difference there. I do know kevin noticed extra support braces for the accy's when i was doing the build which i removed at that point anyhow deeming i didnt need them, thought all the rest of engine other than alternator was same. Oh yah and the speed density tube on my car is more restrictive for somereason.

thanks for the tip! I'll mention it to him. Most likely we'll email you over the winter to get some info. He won't rest until the car is in the tens looking identical to how it looks now. He mentioned the 8 inch crank pulley and a 2.75" Reichard pulley for the Blowzilla. We're guessing around 14lbs?




For those asking about the lincoln crank pulley, it's supposed to be 8 inches in diameter, rather than the factory which is about 6-7/8".

don't know. I need to get with Forgeline in the next few weeks about a different project we're working on. I'll ask them about it when we talk. (or I could just weigh the wheels with tires if you want)

well i think the tape is out in the garage but to a standard piece of paper its like 2 inches shorter so it sounds to me its the 6.75 since normal printer paper is 8-8.5, now maybe the older marks with the cfi, non HO motors... its possible which i think the lsc started putting the 225hp motor in 86.5 or so.

Thread resurrection on Easter Sunday!

I believe the current pulley combo is stock crank pulley with 2.5" blower pulley. The car makes 13-14psi now and feels like a totally different car. YAY!!!
