Congrats on finally making it into the 10's!

What rear are you running? Still the T2 4:10 setup with factory IRS?

Are you in OD running through the traps or did you build the 3.8 to spin?

Interesting. Did you notch the radiator support to fit the pipes through?

This is a link to most of the build up.... should answer alot of questions...

https://www.rx7club.com/other-engine-conversions-non-v-8-118/project-3-8-build-up-lots-o-pics-642272/

Heres a link to the rear end swap...(PICS ON 2ND PAGE)


https://www.rx7club.com/other-engine-conversions-non-v-8-118/poor-service-grannys-speed-shop-641978/

Um... I removed the rad support completely Other people have just notched it though.

I have the grannys 8.8 rear with 3:47's...



No I didn't build it to spin? Note the 1.5 60'? and I'm in 3rd... not OD. quickly running out of gear though I'm switching from a 26" MT DR to a 28" tall slick to try and help. The t-brake launches should be fun with slicks!

Should be right around the 500 hp mark going by vehicle weight and trap speeds.

Thanks all...

New personal best.... again!

Went 10.65 today! Still on radials and that was a foot brake launch. 1.5x 60's. I have a set of slicks and a trans brake out try out next season!

I actually turned the boost down from 28-30ish... To 25lbs and bumped the timing up 4* Should be 25* timing and 25 lbs of boost.

Great new results.... with a little better 60' and some cooler weather you will be running close to 10 flat easily.
