It was a felpro mls. I'm going to go back to using the HKS stopper gasket. I had better luck with that one, but it's a bit more expensive then the felpro.
Well I guess technically I was since Bush killed his transmission and Trevor's starter died on him before 1st round of eliminations. Neither of them got passes in, they both had troubles during qualifying and could not make a full pass. Definitely wasn't a good day for them. I was #2 qualifier...
Thanks man! I wasn't expecting the head gasket to let loose like that, but it did, real bummer but I still managed to keep it together to win the event.:thumb:As far as the turbo, I have no clue what happened. It's on it's way back to FP right now so I will know shortly what happened. I had...
Hard telling what it will run on a healthy pass. My 2nd pass in vegas the increments were showing the car was heading for a 8.6x pass.
1.43 60ft
3.71 330ft
5.64 1/8th
mph 127.8
Then I lifted off the throttle and coasted to a 9.4 @115mph lol.
And I still have not made a nitrous pass, only using...
Sorry it's been so long updating this, been hella busy with the car and life lol.I've had a couple problems with the car since I got it running, ended up smoking the turbo some how after 10 passes, but it went 9.1@154mph with a lazy 1.5 60ft. Put a new turbo on it last week and went to las...
No dyno numbers as of yet, everything is being dialed in either on a side road or at the track as we do not have an AWD dyno near us.Thanks, and yes, the motor mount drives me nuts! I'm going to be changing that soon.
Quick update, car is done and ready for action. Going to go do some testing at our local track on the 21st of this month (this Saturday) So far the converter is on the tight side but I have yet to stall test it with the nitrous, so we will see how well it stalls up with the nitrous soon. I may...

Sorry, I've been extremely busy with work and getting the talon done. But the motor is in, everything is ready, just need to get the exhaust work fabbed up then I can fire this pig up and get to testing! But here are some photos, I actually got the car back on the ground today, it's been the 1st...
I agree with you 100% But, with a limited budget right now that I am working with, the auto saved me well over $9k.I will see if I can make some time to start a build thread, really busy for the next couple of weeks, but I will definitely keep everyone updated on the progress!:thumb:
Simple actually, more cost effective, much more consistent, and will ET faster. I can always swap back to the H pattern if I don't like the auto, I kept all the 5 speed stuff minus the dogbox.:thumb:Thank you good sir for the kind words! let's just say I put her to sleep, kinda like...
I'm no fabricator? Hell, I can JB weld better then I can weld! ROFL
That is one thing I don't do, is welding.On a side note. I figured it was time to dust the ole girl off and put her back together. It's been too long with it just sitting in the corner of the garage collection dust.
I did...
