yeah it was a camra phone its all we had handy at the time. tom morning the car is being picked up and towed out to the track for an event this weekend which ill have plenty of vids for.

the only thing diff this time from the last time is i swaped my homeade boostcontroller for a turbo xs single stage controller and i just got some 950cc/90# injectors.

after i took this lil clip i turned the boost controller upto 14 psi and launched the car again(actually hit 14 psi on the brakes) an annihilated the slicks i plan on running the car at 21+ psi this weekend on race gas

So you are using one holset? This is on the 2.8? And that doesn't sound like it's cammed, either .

What happened to the 262? I might be able to use it in my new motor. I can't go much bigger with the 1.7 rockers on there and LS6 springs.

Cool, just need time to mod the UIM to fit it.

Also, I will be selling the Crane 1.6 rockers and high-speed pushrods. They aren't going to work with the new heads.
