GOALS MET!!!!

If you look back in this blog in my very first post i stated the goal was to build a 12 second truck...I wanted to go 8.30's in the 1/8th only because it was roughly a 12.99...

Well yesterday at The Rock, it happened...twice.

First the truck went 7.97@83...shattering my 8.30 goal...

Then it went 12.64@105.96...laying waste to the 12.99 goal.

Needless to say...the new converter WORKS! It's previous best 60' was a 2.09...it went 1.71 with the new converter almost .4 improvement.

On the 7.97 pass the ground wire vibrated loose at about 900' and shut the motor down (hence the whacky mph)...more posts and some crappy video to come.

It's in...

I'm sore and tired...spent a large portion of the day installing the new converter and welding up some exhaust leaks...I can get it to about 2700 rpms on the footbrake (on the street)...about zero on the boost gauge...it flashes to about 3500...and goes right to boost...and tire spin. Should hit hard at the track...now I hope the rest of the driveline holds up. We'll find out next weekend...1/4 mile passes at Rockingham!




Here is the old B&M with the new 10"
