This was the second pass off the trailer. Boost controller was off and cutout was closed. Log in HPTuners showed 10-11 psi the whole run. Launched off the footbrake at 3100 or so on no boost. 1-2 shift happened at 5300, 2-3 was 6100. Wasn't able to go WOT until it shifted to 2nd to keep the tires from blowing off. Tried turning it up a bit on the last of my three passes but blew the tires off on my way to a 12.0 @ 137.

Sprinkles, I can throw the front sway bar on it and come to Marshalltown to try and beat your stellar 1:30+ time around the track. Or, I could find my buddies stock Honda Fit and run 3 seconds faster than you too. Let me know ;).

Damn good pass! I was there with my brother and his lightning. The track got pretty bad as the night went on.

Put that sway bar on, I want to see what that auto will do!

Thank you, sir.

I had a buddy recording (Funkster) all the runs. He should have some videos and pics up soon. The car was definitely picking up steam on the back half. I was amazed and never expected it to run that good on such low boost. Now it needs a rear end and the driver mod, haha.

Haha, no problem man. I looked over and saw it was Fiddy. Figured he'd get out on me pretty bad. Wished he would have been spraying it though.

I agree the track went to crap. That's why I left after my 3rd pass. I went there hoping to run in the 10's @ 135+. I accomplished that on my 2nd pass and was nervous about the stock 10 bolt, ha.

Your brother's lightning sounds awesome.

I was just giving Sparkles crap, this car will never see an autocross track.

2x the hp I have and all you could manage was a second faster? Tsk tsk.

I would love for you to come to Marshalltown on the 10th. The more the merrier. Don't think that auto would do any good though. I'd probably need to race my wife's car just to make fair. Battle of the auto turbo Chevys. If you want to come though, I say lets make it interesting. For every second quicker per session, the loser owes the winner $20.

And as far as the name thing goes dude, make sure you haven't named yourself after a canine erection before making fun of other people. That is, unless your purpose was to be known as dog penis. In that case, it's perfect. You couldn't have picked out a better one.

You're right Sparklers, I should be upset with the cars first time at the track. It surely has nothing left in it. You must not have read the initial post. I should have built an all around, I can do anything car like yours...oh wait, who am I kidding?

You got me with the name thing, dude. You can also successfully post website links, videos, and create memes. You are the MAN! You are an internet forum LEGEND. I can only hope to learn from you some day.

Also, you won't see my car at any autocross event. I have zero ambition to do one of those events. However, I just might come watch you get torn up by stock Honda's in your "race car".

Spools extremely quick on this motor. I am extremely pleased with how it is working out.

I have a few of the 7875 ball bearing turbonetics in stock as well as the billet bb 7675 which is what I am running this year. probably the fastest spooling turbo around that can still make 900whp on an ls motor

I sent you a PM asking about some other parts. Throw in a quote for each of those turbos as well please.

Well known fact. Twice the horsepower = half the times. The two are linear. :1244:

BTW, car looked pretty good last night. Any better 1/8th times?

I think I'm impressed most of all that that 10 bolt is still not broken in that thing. Being an auto helps, but still....

It had a moser 9 inch in it Friday night. The posi in the 10 bolt was no longer operational.

Lol, hardly. I've had another build going on in my garage for several months that keeps getting hung up. The rear end is just borrowed :). If that thing is in my garage much longer my car just might inherit a 402, 88mm turbo, and a built 4L80e as well.

I will have 9 inch of my own next spring though and it will be a bare bones rear with a spool to keep it as cheap as possible.
