Finally got to make a few passes last night with a car I've been working on for a LONG time. Managed a best ET of 6.44. On that pass I missed 3rd badly and basically coasted through the lights at 100 mph. First pass off the trailer the car ran 108.

Car is a 3rd gen with a T72, original stock trans, stock rear with a Kaaz. Max boost was 19 psi. It's tuned to 30.

 

Sweet work chris.. How come you didnt make any more passes?

 

Nice.

 

Pics of car and engine bay. Nice numbers for first time out.

good job man! 6.44 is on par for a 9.9999 pass. Since you have more power to unleash and make a clean run it should be impressive!

This is probably a good place to chime in. Just getting my 5th post in after 10 years. It's my car that's he's talking about. Huge thanks to Chris who has basically done everything on the car! He's been working on it for a while, but mostly trying to make ideas that I think up to actually work. Made 4 passes Wed night, trying to get things sorted out. As he mentioned, another bright spot of the night was it pulled 108mph on the first pass. We think it could be as low as 6.20 based on that mph. I hadn't driven the car for a few years so just happy to make it down the track without hitting something. The car has a little weight reduction, runs on gas, and uses only A/I to cool the charge. Will put up some pictures soon.

 

Congrats to you both, nice times first time out.

 

Congratulations to you both. I have to say Ludwig you deserve this as you are incredibly helpful to people and I hope you continue to have success. Not many people are as helpful as you and when ever I have asked questions you have been there to answer. You are a credit to the FD world. Long may it continue!

 

Bravo

Sure, attached is a picture. Not the best photo but, I'll that I've got. It's the classic wheel 16x9.5 rear, 16x8 front.

 

Post a video up! Want to her that exhaust!

 

That exhaust is GANGSTA. must be loud as ****!!! No problems with the heat/smoke on the plexi windshield I guess?

 

Hey thanks! No issues with oil/smoke in the front. I don't mind the extra noise, lets everyone know I'm coming!

Below is a short clip at idle that I added to the youtube. Actually not too loud on the video, but it's shaking the floor of the house.
