Looks a little tight in there!  Where’s all the details on the “go-fast” goodies used? Still have issues with cooling? Get a chance to weigh it?

5lbs of boost seems nutty low for those numbers… congrats!

Yeah it is tight, I had to cut the radiator support out to move the radiator forward about 6 inches. The engine is still the stock bottom lq4 6.0l with the trickflow heads, I went with custom from the guy who did the cam in the old small block. Turbo is a BW S450 from forced inductions paired up with a 80lb siemens injectors on E-85. I also added a water/meth kit to help curb the IAT since im non intercooled. no weight as of yet, the trans is out of the car as the converter is at ptc getting re-stalled.

So you know I forgot to turn on the intercooler pump for a pass.   Car slowed 3mph, boost went up 15kpa, and Iat at finish went from 100 to 180.

While still spraying  a single nozzle
8.50/165

Well lots has happened since I last updated this thread... so where to start

Well I finally got an intercooler on the car, Has this custom built from a foam mock up to a finished unit






Started to turn it up and make some power


Made headway until this pass... notice how low the mph is...


My rear end was not happy, you served me well stock 8.8 stuff


Got some new upgrades






Started to do a co2 upgrade


Tranny took a crap, 7 years at making 700-900 hp out of a th350 guess I cant complain too much



Toasted the current motor in the car, haven't ripped it out to see whats wrong but im guessing its a bent rod or rod bearing



Got a new 5.3 motor to try out to see how it stands against my 6.0
