well its about time (vid inside)
Is this with the new motor? What CI is it? That was a great pass! Congrats David! It has to feel good knowing the whole time the car made the power to go 8's, but just couldn't get the number at the track etc... I am happy for you as I know everyone else is also.
Hands down that is the ultimate street car. And nice job not just sneaking in the 8s but actually smashing the damn door down. They hassle you for no chute?
Those 60's are amazing on 17's.

thanks everyone, big day for me, biggest day since my 9 sec pass in 04
the popping was not me, i was using the trans brake and going off of rpm @ 4000ish maybe 6-7psi, it was 23 max on that run. i dialed more in for another pass but i never got to go out again. computer was shifting the trans for me around 6500rpm and went thru the traps about 6800
ls2 bait, lots of my specs on here but in short:
erl 6 bolt ls2 block conversion, all pro 6 bolt cathedral heads, ls6 intake and stock tb, stock crank, 364ci by wheel to wheel.
transformance 4l80e trans yank 3400 stall
midwest 9" rear 3.0 gear (for the 25.5" tires)
bogart bolted rr10's
qa1 single adjustable shocks around
bmr suspension trz anti-roll kit
snow methanol kit
big stuff 3 engine and trans control
twin walbro fuel pumps in stock tank, 96# injectors, kirban referenced regulator
turbosmart e-boost 2
turbo technology air to water RACE kit, self-upgraded to pte-88 turbo, also self upgraded in-car plastic 5 gallon water tank
lt1 radiator, stock water pump
performance auto fabrication sportsman cage
i think thats it!
i dont think i could run an 8 with the manual, its just soo hard with a clutch to get a heavy car moving in a hurry, im not interested in breaking stuff anymore!
the turbo is good for 1250 horse, i guess i am somewhere approaching that
nobody told me anything directly about my lack of a chute, but they did make sure i had a window net.
this is the bracket eric at midwest made for me since i insisted on running the bmr extreme tq arm.
this is the trz anti-roll kit i put on yesterday. it was the only change to the car aside from adding air to the tires
i cant belive those tires held a 1.35! all be it they had plenty of weight on them.

Congrats on your 8-second pass , I've been following the progress of your car for a while , nice to see you reached your goal , a real street driven 8-second street car is bad *** .
I just got my 8-second pass this past Tuesday , it's a great feeling driving to the track , running an 8-sec pass and driving home , not many people have done it , congrats again .
