The track was so busy yesterday I got to make two passes, the first was against Eric and if you watch that video it didn't go to well. Here is the video of the second and final pass.

At this boost level I know it has an 8.20 in it.

still one of my 10 favorite cars. That thing is just nuts. Is it still factory wheel wells, stock suspension? What width radial?

I just like the fact that you'd never, ever guess it just by looking at it.

I guess you need to change your user name to "Eightsecsnake"

congrats man!! Sounds like it blowing through the converter a little possibly? Looks like you got that mod motor figured out pretty good, very impressive

Thanks everyone for the nice comments, the only change from last year was new coils. I used to run an AEM CDI box and a set of Weapon X coils but they wouldn't allow anything over 26-27lbs of boost now with the GM LS2 coils we were able to hold 28lbs with zero issues so far.

According to the computer it was 5.5% slip out the big end, I would like it to be in the 2-4% range so maybe I will try the next tighter stator. That pass was 3.1 seconds on the boost controller before I hit full boost (27.75lb), now imagine if I could give it all in 2 seconds like Eric does.

Thanks Again,
Ryan

Thank you!! It's on stock suspension, stock wheel wells with 275 Hoosier drag radials, the big problem is that it weighs 3770lb with me in it. To bad I couldn't get it down to 3400lbs I would have myself a 7 second car.

I might be a little bit of a GM guy (like the ls2 coils though), but that is one bad ass fox mixed with mod motor. Is the 5.4l still a 5.4 aside from rotating parts? Stock block, crank, etc? That has to be making a pile of power to get that much weight running those time while not shocking the tires. It's really come along the last few years for you man, good going.

Thank you, it's taken hundreds of passes to get it this far. Currently the motor is a 5.4 NVH block, flat top Manley pistons (10:1), Manley billet I beam rods, stock steel crank, street ported 04 navigator heads w/mmr stage 3 cams. If I had to guess were making about 1500hp or so at that speed, Its made 1301 on the chassis dyno but it just blows the tires off so who really knows. Thanks Again!
