ouch. That puts a bit of a hinderance on the grudge racing. I still say good luck with it. I hate to buy a "real powerful" car that has never made a pass or dyno to back anything up. Cars can "feel" really strong but not perform to what was thought they should. I hope runs the way you hope.

Hey mike your the one that's always saying its all for fun right ?? Well I was just trying to have a little fun !! Lol Post 22 here... ecfasteststreetcars.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=521&page=2If that turbo is set up right, it could potentially be 5-second fast... But, If he thinks it will be close and wants to set up a sight-unseen race, I don't really care... He seems like a nice guy... It's all in fun. Now, if you know you're going to kill me... (you say it went to the track a few weeks ago) go ahead and spare me the embarrassment now... and pick on Greg. LOL

From the link describing your new car... If you're seriously wanting a race with -me-... either your car is extremely slow for the sum of it's parts, or you're just looking for an easy race.
With those specs, I'd be looking at Casto, Homer or Greg for a good match-up. My car is just a flat tappet 306 with a 200hp nitrous plate and Twisted Wedge 170cc heads.
You did say in a previous post that the original owner had run an 8.55... I'm assuming that was a 1/4 mile pass. If not, what time did it run a few weeks ago when the previous owner took it to the 1/4 mile at Clay City?
394 cubic inch Borg Warner s488 turbo AFR 227 heads Neil Chance promod converter E85 tuned FAST bank to bank system, AMS 500 boost controller Mikes 400 turbo w/ manual brake/ manual valve body Over the intake air/water intercooler adjustable coil-overs all around

Mike I'm just a "newbie" here . You of all people should know the fastest car with the longest list of parts doesn't always win the race . I personally have not driven a car at the track in over 20 years . And like I stated all this electric stuff and fuel injection is all new to me . What I have learned in a short time is its not hard to make the power but getting it to the ground is a different story . But you can be assured that this "newbie " will figure it out at some point . So best of luck this year in your racing adventures . If buy chance we end up side by side I'll try my best to make a race of it
