I love how he gave the other guy a head start. They didn’t show it, but I am pretty sure he beat him.

I love how well the ls6 cam works in boosted applications. It’s amazing what you can do on a budget these days. I wish I had the time or the patience to do something like this.

Probably helps the car is light weight :lol:

However if you look at LS1tech people are having good reliability with 4.8, 5.3, and 6.0l setups around the 600-700hp range.

It’s more likely he didn’t care about the other car or the tree and just wanted to get a perfect launch.

Or looks like they were bracket racing since there was already a 9.10 on the board vs 11.something before he started racing :lol:

I have a 5.3 junk yard “build” in the works to replace my tired ls1. Drop it in, beat the piss out of it, throw a rod, buy another for $400. Spend the money you would spend on a forged internal engine on a built th350 and 12 bolt and you’re good to go.

As soon as he switches to 3.54s in the rear it is expected to go 8’s.

meh, i’d rather have a much slower 240sx that takes advantage of what the chassis is good for… great cheap FR chassis with huge aftermarket.

1/4 mile application is a waste imho and not worth really gabbing over.

To Each There Own, The Way I See It You Could Swap Some Street Tires On The Back Of That Thing And Possibly Dial Back The Boost A Little And Do Whatever You’d Like. It’s A Great All Around Car.
