I know I am. I also know a few other's who have come to the shop looking to get a little faster. I am going to have my car on the list come hell or high water. I want that #1 spot Tony! Don't get too comfortable! We need a crown or some symbol to pass from one person to the next who sits at #1, jmho. Let's start the smack!

I'll be back out come spring in the Cobra. Hopefully with more power and less weight. Gonna up the boost some and add some spray and see where it goes from there.

On another thought, is there any stickers or anything going to be done for this year's?

I'm pretty certain the white paint on the 2014 will pick up a 10th or two over the green paint. So looking forward to getting the most from the 2013 setup after its bolted on the 2014 A6 setup and retuned by VMP tuning. Got some other mods as well to help get power to the ground.

My new short-block should be here in December.. Going to add some suspension parts, lighten it up some and look for around 1100 hp to the wheels. I see no reason why I can't run close to 8.50 next year. So it should be fun trying to hold onto the new spot. And like always, I will be driving it too and from the track..... with AC. I am definitely looking forward to trying to hold off the pack.

The Kit I bought is fitted with a waste gate and manual boost controller, so the plan is to spin the blower to max impeller speed at 7,000 RPM and we will adjust the boost to me the my needs without windowing the block. If it lives I'll be be putting together a big bore stroker and possible a bigger blower ( YSI or Novi 2500).

Ring and pinion has been changed, should pick up a couple tenths with just coming from a 3.27 to a 3.73 or even a 4.10 after that.
New addition as well to the ignition side to give me data logging and programming capabilities.
New rockers on order to replace the old bad ones for starters, then to install some Happy Juice (N20).

Yes, return style. My car made close to 860 to the wheels ( and climbing.... had to let off) on a Mustang dyno. They system is supposed to support 1100 with stock fuels rails, 1400 with aftermarket. With this winters changes I am changing to aftermarket.

where are you trying to come in on the scales?

with just under that we hit 8.7s at sea level air, but that was 3900lbs, weight reduction will help alot at that power level. in modified trim we were down to 3400 with me and hit 8.1's, at -1000 da.

a custom / larger air to air intercooler will be your friend at that power level. heat will generate pretty quick on the oem. we were hitting over 200 once we jumped to that kind of power level

6r80 i believe can go 7's, in a light enough combo.

i think the yellow 15 is around 3900 right now, and just shy of 1000. but the ported gt350 heads and cams should spark it up close to 1100.

the blue 11 though should make juuuuussstttt a little more. trick is getting it down e20 and stopping with the big blower on it. i am hoping for 7.50-7.6 in renedage trime, and would love to see some sub 7.2s with the xi on it

I got bitched at for no cage as well after I went back to back 9.7s in the eclipse early in the year. Went back with the new motor and they got on me for no roll padding in tech. Went 9.7 then a 9.57 and never heard anything that day, but I loaded it up and didn't push my luck any more. The next weekend they asked for NHRA license and got on me for my cage, limited me to 6.5s in the 1/8 and 10.0s in the 1/4 that day.

I'm just going to build mine as fast as I can. If I go to the track I'll probably go to clay city or Thornhill. They don't have cage restrictions. I hear Tristate is pretty laid back. Plus my buddy just bought Vengeance racing's 1500rwhp twin turbo z06. With recent mods it made 1780rwhp. We've been talking about doing the 1/2 mile events. They don't have cage restrictions like the drag strips.

I can't wait to watch the blue car run. It should be insane once you get it all sorted out.

yes, you'll def start getting some heat at that power level.

me too, we got the holley sorted out this weekend, 23 hours to get all 8 cylinders going,

turns out holley had the cylinders marked wrong on the plug and play harness.. so much for plug and play lol

I sure was glad I had a cage and other safety equipment when I hit the wall at E20 years ago. Rang my bell, but I walked away.

I have no problem putting a 6 point in. I just dont want to rip apart my dash. That's why I've been rethinking the drag racing thing.

From the impression I got from them when I was out there talking to the guys, I'd say if a few of us rolled out there, we'd get some races. I think that would be on my top ten bucket list. Even tho I don't like street racing, I'd have to put that aside for an evening. lol.
