Holy SH*%! What a car! I don't even care there's a ford powerplant in it. It's just so amazing! Good job with the car! You have mad skills! If you ever bring it to Houston, I would love to see it!

 

Looks SICK!

 

wow there's just so much fabrication on just the simplest things. its such an awesome build

 

Installed a vibrant vanjen clamp. will hold 100 psi, and allows up to 12 degrees of movement.

 

what did you do with the 5 spoke c6s? and what size were they?

 

very awesome build . has it been dynotuned yet .

 

Funny you ask... tried to dyno monday night. As soon as the turbos spooled it would drop holes and spit and sputter... 640 rwhp on 8 psi.

It pulled 9% fuel out and was still around 8% rich. Made a couple more pulls messing with timing and fuel and it did the same thing.

I thought it was weird, because it never misfires on the street, so unloaded it off the dyno and made a couple highway blasts... ran a 5.36 second 60-130 going uphill, dunno the slope of the road.



I think it's obviously making a lot more than 640 rwhp.

 

Dynos dont load the motor like street unless its one of the best load bearing mustang types but even still its not same. Makes sense why it dyno rich. Need to try lean dyno tune and then put your street tune back on once its off the dyno or else risk goin to lean and burning pistons

 

what color are the wheels? are they satin black?

 

subscribed!!!!

 

Bonerific!

 

Going to try to make it to the 1/8th mile track this weekend, and have the Texas Invitational roll racing event the weekend after.

 

Good luck please bring a video camera

 

Here's a preview for the TI event. Should be lots of video!

The weekend went pretty well, I was very pleased.

Car went a peak mph of 167.66, having to pedal in first gear. I saw 16 psi on that run.

I made it to the third round of king of the streets, beat up on some expensive iron.







Check out http://www.texasspeedsyndicate.com for more info. 1320 video was there and I'm sure will have VERY nice media.

 

The white GTR in the second pic was a Boost Logic 1300 package car. I heard he was more than a little upset when he got beat by a third gen firebird.

I also beat a gen 4 viper with a novi 200 and bottle, a C5 with a YSi, stroker, and bottle, and a suppsed 1500 whp 911 porsche, but I think he was having problems.

 

Yes, I drove it to and from the airfield both saturday and sunday, 30 miles each way. Saturday I drove home in the rain with the AC blowing cold!

 

One more good one:

 

awesome!

 

I love this build

 

Great run!! If I was the owner of the gtr I would not be a happy camper.
What were the rules to run the event??

 

I'm not sure there are so many rules per se, it's an invitation based event, though you can apply to participate. There is one day of grudge matches that the participants set up themselves, and this fall there were 3 events on sunday. A corvette shootout, a king of the street shootout (anything goes more or less) and a 6 speed shootout. I believe (but can't speak for them) that the persons making the decisions on who attends try to pick high horsepower modified cars that fit the spirit of a street car.

AND, if you had any doubts, I'd say that a car that can drive 30 miles in the rain, on unpaved roads, with the AC and stereo on, running on pump fuel is a street car.

 

Very impressive build and results. This was basically the first actual event on this build, correct?

 

Thanks!

You are correct. The car has seen one aborted dyno session which was pretty useless, quite a few street miles, some street tuning and a handful of fairly short highway pulls before this event.

I was starting with a baby tuneup that hooked on the street, and making incremental changes to sneak up on the tuneup and get some seat time... I DID drive an outlaw 10.5 car, but the last pass I made in it was almost 4 years ago now. Thankfully the car seems pretty solid and the driving is coming back fast.

 

Taking on that boostlogic GTR = my hero!

 

this is amazing

 

First round of kots. My race is about halfway through.

 

Looks like you start around 3:54

 

Wow a 1300 package gtr is no slouch. Your setup is working well. Eager for some track times. I need to get mine up and running in prime shape asap. Your results inspire me to see what i can do with this setup.

 

Watching it again damn #6 corvette 189

 

Vid of that vette

 

I just noticed in one of yours pics that you are in need of hood pins.

 

Yep, I'm sad about it. I don't like hood pins.

 

Maybe you could go with the hood pin locks instead.

Something like this: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MRG-1472/

Color match them to the paint and they would blend in.

 

look into c3/c4 corvette hood latch mechanisms. I am considering them for my car - they are reverse hood pins essentially

 

Thanks for the tips guys... I like those on summit, and I'll have to look into the C3/C4 stuff.

I found these just browsing around: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-18...hood-pins.aspx

and these: http://www.quik-latch.com

 

Looks like the proof is in the pudding!

Well done!

 

i found a video of just ur race against the gt-r
check out the comments

 

Omg! Lol.

 

Just love youtube ppl. Totally clueless

 

Round 2 kots. Racing a 1400whp 911 but I think he had issues. Same tune as round 1 but a later start so mph is down a bit.

 

2:39 and Andrew comes out of the gate hard

 

How much higher on boost could you have gone and how fast you think it could have hit? Insane to see those lambos and lmr vette hit 175-180+ mph

 

You stole my nitto envos! Lol

 

did you use the eastwood fender roller, to do the rear?
doing mine to get a bit more room, got to love the look of that size of tire.
i could only go with 29.5 Tall(ground FX). but did get the same width.
buying to tool outright,$260.
only to use it one time..lol (who knows)

 

That is what I used. I rented it from a local guy.

 

Whats your plug gap like?

 

Very cool car Andrew! You did a fantastic job with it. I'm looking forward to some more vids and track times

 

I ran .028" at 16 psi with no noticeable spark blow out. In the outlaw car at 30+ psi I put ngk -10's in without regapping. Out of the package those were sub .020".

 

I seem to be having an issue that maybe blowout at 15 psi but i am gapped at .026-.028 i believe. Used to run .030 in old setup to 18 psi no issue under 6000 but never went above that. Now at 6-6.2k i have a limiter action goin on that may be spark blowout. Only does it on higher boost levels not on base boost of 6 psi
