yea i know what you mean. I broke my stock crank using a S-trim, it put down 474hp but I also had TFS heads, holly systemax intake, alot of timing and some race gas. Oh and this was through an AOD.

As long as your a/f ratio looks good it should last awhile. Mine lasted 2 or 3 years but it didn't have forged pistons. :o

So put some tires on it and keep practicing and you will get the times down.

[Chiludo Power]

I bet you were on street tires too right?

[Super Coupe]

Whats the combo?

[marines 5.0]

Well I am actually hookin up well with M/T streets.I have a Holly systemax intake, 30lb inj all msd, box, dist ect... Long tube headers custom x-pipe, Forged internals, stock e7's 373 gears tremec TKO. Procharger p1 intercooled currently 8lb of boost with a custome tune. I put a gallon of 108 in the tank so that might of helped. I have other shit on it but cant think of it right now.

[Blown03_GT]

You aren't hooking that well if you only cut a 1.95 60'. My '03 with just bolt-ons and gears went 8.4s.

What rpm are you luanching at? I cut a 1.5 60' in my coupe with M/T ET street radials. For the power your car made you should be mid 7's keep practicing.

[marines 5.0]

I am leaving only at like 3000

[Magnimike1]

Launch about 4000 with your blower car and see what's up. Nitrous cars you can leave a little lower rpm but I bet yours would do better higher. You really need to find you a little better set of heads and then your eyes would open up.

Congrats on the new best though.

[marines 5.0]

Thanks man. I will try launching alittle higher next week.

You need to drive yours. Git r done. :) Or do you need a hired gun?

[TOMMY]

Yeah..I will but I found out the rear end is hurt alittle. I wont lie for the first few passes I will have a hired gun.... :D but after that I'm hitting the button myself. That's why I'm not making the cruise :( We will be at another track dailing the car in.

[Super Coupe]

86 mph seems kind of low for the power you are making. It made what like 390 hp?

[SLOW 77]

I met you out there on Sunday, I was the guy in the orange Vette. I didn't know you where on the board, small world.

Car looked good; I have a video of it if you would like to see it. Give me your email and I will send it to you.

It does look like you could come out of the hole harder. My car went 1.94 on stock tires, you should be in the 1.7-1.5 range with those tires. Next time out you will be in the 7's with a bettery launch! :D
