Looong break and winter upgrades have occured, car is almost back together.

Trans upgrades:
I've replaced the stock torque converter with a sinister "spoolinator".
In the trans I've installed a Translab shift kit, IPT end clutch kit, and welded the center diff.
Added a larger trans cooler and relocated it to the factory foglight location.

Engine upgrades:
The head lifted last November(weak ass ARPs) with l19s, and a fresh head resurface
Upgraded cams from Crower 272s to Kelford 272s.

Suspension upgrades:
Replaced kyb/tien combo with D2 coilovers
Replaced evo8 wheels/all seasons with RPF1 200tw summer tires

I also deleted the ABS from the front for a cleaner bay.

I dynoed 645 last summer on a 104* day and made 645whp. Hoping to be able to touch 700, and back it off to around 500 to start at the drag strip.

Buying a trailer this weekend, and I bought an ecoboost f150 a month or so back for hauling.

Let's see if i can snag a 9!
 
Dyno-dynamics as well. I'll probably tap out the stock ignition before I hit the 700 mark though. But if I can't hit 9s with my current setup, i'm doing something wrong and or something broke.

Sweet build man
 
Update:

Took the car to the track for the first time and was severely disappointed. I was not able to stall the converter at all. I tried more fuel, less fuel, more timing, less timing, advance intake cam. And every combination of those.

First pass was 28psi with low timing and ran a 14.8@112, ran that 2 times more and decided to turn up to see what I could run on the back end

Last pass (couldn't log because laptop broke) with unknown boost I ran a 13.4@129, with a 2.75 60 ft. And watching videos I don't spool until 5 seconds into the pass.

All this is very promising though! Hoping for a 140+ 9s pass once I get n2o back on the car.
