I've had better days, but I think the motor was hurt prior. It was smoking as you could see and I was getting some blowby in the catch can. We're gonna use the NRS seals and change out my fuel pump setup to a weldon.

Here's the timeslip - 114 MPH on the 1/8 mile! That mph is good for a mid sec pass.

2.298 60'

5.634 330'

7.932 1/8

114.230 MPH

9.884 1000'

11.511 1/4

132.62 MPH

BTW, bet you can't guess where I got the slip results lol.

been there n done that, the weldon is the way to go. ari sold me on that cuz thats what he's using, and we all know he's fast . as for is it street worthy??? iv'e had no problems drove around town (88 miles) jus hanging out w/ the guys, and the only problem I had was the cops couldn't stop starring at me
as long as you have more than 5 gallons of gas, and good filters you will be fine
good luck w/ your setup i'm sure we will see you bangin gears real soon .

Already have. They warped. I tried them back when I was running a street port. Everybody has their favorite. Whoever has a running motor at the time has the answers. I thought i had the answers, lol, when I was running plain old steel atkins seals. I just ordered brand new housings and I have a set of one piece NRS seals goin in.

Damn Ernie, really thought you were gonna hit nines,seen your car in a few vids and it sounds awesome.
Lets hope the NRS seals will do it for ya.
Using PTS seals now after breaking my RA seals in two places and destroying my front housing last year.
I heard SCR seals have good results as well like PTS they just warp on det and save the housing/plates and turbo.
