Get that plate Nitrous system. I also think the effort would be useless. My ice reservoir yields 2 mph on the magnuson 112 blower setup.

nice run!

Nice front end lift. What are you running for rear tires? 4 link?

Nice car. What kind of race tires do you think you'll run?

What rpm launch?

When I installed the Koni's up front I ran a liberal bead of automotive silicone around the contact area of the gland nut and the strut tube.

Which magnacharger did you buy? new or used ? and what cam are you running ? if you don't mind sharing.

With all the power your going to have I'd consider a transmission that has a wider spread between gears. It will be kinder to you and be more fun on the street.

LQ4 magnacharger/4L80E/9 3/4 ford -4 link. Fab work front to back but was able to limit the cowl hood to two inches and got the front/rear weight at 47%/53% with me in it.

Sounds like you might slide right by the 10s & go straight to the 9s. How critical are the tec inspections in your area? Sacramento tends to turn a blind eye if the car looks reasonably built.

I've always had concern for the central part of the car on all of my unibody projects. As traction improves its my opinion that you will find the weaknesses in the car. Stock Z's seem to hold up better than others.

As you said yourself, I would not get hung up to much on the numbers. I'm sure you could get lots of suggestions as to why you seem to be getting unusual readings. It might be a little late for some before and after 1/4 mile track runs but Mile Per Hour change is a really good indicator for power change as long as your driving technique is consistent.

450rwhp motor only on a dynojet based on 2950lb race weight.

They look clean. Aluminum or steel?

Good point. I had to use the heavy duty tensioner and added an idler pulley directly below the alternator for the long run of the belt. There is an existing hole in the stock bracket that works perfectly. running 8 1/2 lbs. boost, 6 rib no trouble.

well spoken...LOL . Ya he's a mechanic alright. You know every once in a while there's a bit of advice that just needs to get flushed down the toilet.

6.0L . Over 20 on the open road

LS1TECH would be the first place I'd look.

I think people would have a more favorable opinion once they drove a supercharged car. Very predictable smooth power curve with about 100lbs added to the car.

Updated changes to car- 2step installed, used with brake pedal switch / droop limiters installed but not adjusted to restrict front end on this questionable night. Went to the track wednesday night for the street car event. There was a pretty good showing and as the evening progressed the temps cooled down enough to keep the blower happy. Thought I'd start out with the front shocks set to the loosest setting and the two step off. It being a week night event the track prep is minimal, "what do you want for $15". I ran a total of 5 runs, the first 3 with no adjustment or changes to anything ( 1.922 tire spin/1.541/1.552 60fts ). The 4th run I tightened the rebound one full turn and it didn't seem to help ( 1.561 60ft ). The last run I decided to use the 2step set at 1900rpm with the rebound set back at loosest setting netting a 1.605 with a little tire chirping. Conclusions... none as of yet. I need to make a bunch more runs to have any real idea what is going on. I will say using the 2step the launch seems snappier and by worming up the brakes as best as possible prier to staging, the car will stay in place. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th runs were the start of the eliminations 10.470/ 10.471/ and 10.479, pretty consistent except for the 10.50 dial in I might of been in it for a while. Good fun though.

I'm sure your method has more merit than our primitive, Idea of the moment . My friends car was a stock 74 camaro automatic, and tended to snowplow in the tight corners so a quick momentary back brake lock would pitch the rear around . What was funny was it actually worked well enough to take a 2nd place in a open class of cars we should of got stomped on. I would say no great feat thou considering in the 80s the club she belonged to was more of a social casual event, not hard core racing.

We used the high-tec approach for the tight corners by rigging the e-brake to automatically release(bailing wire). With just the right touch the back of the car would swing around.

I think a reliable car is worth a lot. The love / hate thing with my projects seems to accure enough with redo's and unexplained glitches. And if good choices still allude I could always count on my ex to give me the answer I didn't want to hear!

LS2 power!

I should just open up the wallet and go for a transbrake and a higher stall. It would feel good to get rid of that 13" pig of a torque converter. With the summer heat coming on the times are gonna slow some anyway! Hey and I would be putting money back into our economy... LOL
