I don't know who's worse me or you, told SPI might as well keep my vehicle until spring. After, they do the guages, I'll have them do the 1400lb. axles, one piece chromoly DS, and apply my end-links with the new service packs from Hotchkis.

They you and I need to go shopping for extractor hoods. I need one that will be high enough to install that Holley intake so I can get all that 14+psi. boost flowing nice and freely into those monster heads.

Thanks, for the heads up. Thing is if those lights are programmed to blink for alerts and shifting then going to be confusing. The only time I want to see blinking lights on the guages is never. LOL
So, decided a few extra $ for a shift light won't break the bank.

Most likely in the beginning will monitor AFR, Fuel pressure, SC boost / pressure, IAT's, injector duty cycle, fuel pump voltage and then later (if you can monitor more than four) a few others (knock sensors / retard, et al.) that are quite critical. So, if I have lights flashing for RPM's, I'll never know if there are any issues.

Can you actually drive that thing on the street? 800rwhp / 893rwtq. insanity bro'. LOL
Do you have the nitrous kick in automatically at WOT & specified RPM / speed, also did you get a all the safety put in or just the bare bones system?

That looks really great looking engine. We guess you’ll be having fun once Toronto thaws out in the Spring.

The nitrous kit is programmed to come on at WOT only. Anything off of WOT it shuts off.

After 7+mos. in planning and building that thing you're right. Have to wait until winter just to cruise it around the block. BTW - We'll be putting the service pack on too for the Hotchkis end-links.

Man, making me want one. LOL
Must be wild having an extra 150hp. kick in on a blink of the eye.

I wouldn't know, I haven't driven it yet.. The Clutch Slave Cylinder went out again (5th one). Since the Trans was out, I had ADM install the upgraded ZR-1 Clutch Kit as well. Hopefully the tracks will open back up late January or early February so I can make a few passes and see what it's like !!

Which slave cylinder are you using, stock? I previously posted a link of video done by vendor (Keisler) that explained stock slave cylinder with aftermarket clutch just won't hold up.

Here is Part 1 (you'll see other links for 2 - 5)



I may have the same issue. I went with a 1150lbtq. clutch from ACT so eventually I may have to get something that will hold up better.

Can't wait to hear the final results... On the track...

Brandi is on the lift... Turbos are on the way to precision... And we will probably be upgrading them to a bigger exhaust housing, possibly a different hot side impeller... And maybe just bigger turbos all the way around... They are going to measure everything and see if we can find a turbo more suited to my cubic inches...we are spinning the he'll out of em....

Transmission is headed to the shop for a new input shaft/4th gear, and a 9310 output shaft with the outputshaft support bearing...

The nine inch is mostly ready to install... We are going to fabricate some Delrin diff bushings... No one makes the for this diff housing mount that I'm aware of... Talked to Pete and they are going to have some before long for the factory diff mounts...

We should also be adding a 150-250 wet shot of nitrous... This added to the increased boost and Brandi ought to finally be able to get out of her own way......

This holiday is going to be all cosmetic mods:
MPD spoiler
Window Tints (hopefully)
Taillight tints (definately)
Hood Spear decals

Wellllllll.... Unless I can work something out with my relief, I won't be able to run in March... I'll get home about a week after the run....

I'm going to look for some other land speed runs to possibly attend... Other than Bonneville... I am not getting on salt...

Same here; We'll do some drag runs to see who can do less than 11 seconds in a straight line and then we'll spend an hour or so on a road course.
