somebody ban his ass if he doesn't post motor pics....hah, seriously would love to see some pics of the intake setup. who build the motor btw?
HPE built the engine. I got the engine from DAPSUPRSLO. I still paid a good bit for it, but it was much less that what it would have cost to build from scratch.....and the intake is just awesome. I was a little timid to sink that kind of money into a used (slightly) engine, but I took a chance.
I'll get some pics posted of the engine, dont ban me yet

We just ran at the GMHTP LSx vs. LTx shootout at E-town and run a new best. 9.83 @ 135mph w/ a 1.29 sixty followed up by several other passes including a 9.9 @134 pass nearly on the bumper!
The whole setup was just installed last week, and the engine didn't even get fired until 4am Sunday morning, the day before the shootout. Its a 434 cubic inch LS1 with darton sleeves. This weekend was the first time on the track with this engine, fuel system, etc.
The raceweight of the car was 3350, so its still no lightwieght. These passes were also on MT 325 Drag Radials and 93 octane pump gas.
I don't have a timeslip to post because they weren't printing slips, but an email can be sent to scott@primedia if anyone wants to verify it. I was just hoping to get a title change to 9 second club. I'll post up the other details of the combo in the sig.
Wish I had gotten to see your runs. My 4L60E lost 2nd gear there by the time I got the old tires back on (It didn't like the new radials) and the wheel stand issue under control. Brought it home, fixed the tranny and went 9.95 @ 134.31 right off the trailer. Wish we had E-Town's starting line and air here in Tulsa. My 60' was over 5/100ths better there than that pass here. Some guys there were saying they should have held that deal at Atco because it hooks better. Not sure I would want to go where it hooks better than E-Town without wheelie bars.
Congrats on your times! Impressive setup.

Now 350" NHRA/IHRA SS/JA. Well, maybe it's not the SLOWEST on the planet: 10.14 @ 129.55, 1.296 60' (11.30 Index) But still not fast enough.

Yeah, I saw your giant wheelstand! That track was deffinately hooking. We've went a little quicker down here in NC with about the same air, but I think it still has a little in it. What type of radials were you running? We're they slicks?

10.5 X 30 Hoosier slicks. I had been running 9" X 30" slicks Hoosier makes for the NHRA Stock Eliminator cars. Should have bought some 12" wheels for the 10.5"s instead of the 10" wheels I already had. I let the air press down some after I got back home and they worked fine. Had 10.5" X 29" bias ply Hoosier slicks on for the last two attempts, including that big-assed wheel stand. Thought maybe it was a little slick, didn't realize it was all the new tires. Too much front end travel & shocks set too soft. Got the oil pan, headers and top radiator support. I'm going to have it tubbed and a narrower rear end to get the wheels under the car better. Looks like crap with 10.5" tires. Need to get the rear down some also.
