Made a duct for the radiator to improve cooling. Air through the FMIC will no longer escape around the radiator. Should be a pretty drastic change based on the results from a friends 1g.

I like that set up I wonder how it will help and by how much.

We saw a 10-15* drop in my friends 1g when moving.

Congrats on the 10.2! Great number, especially on a first out with the car. 9's are just around the corner! Did you happen to get an video of the 10.2 run?

Thanks man! Yes I do... Didn't really care to share it because the embarrassing stall speed and short shifting, but here it is.

This is the 10.2@131 run

Dang, whose 2g at the end of the video?

Some random POS

Got the bottle mounted. I am trying to get the car ready to make one more testing visit at the track either this weekend or next in preparation for IFO next month.

Nice Land Rover in the end there too

What ducting material is it and where did you get it? 10-15* drop is really good.

The bottom part you see is 1/16th aluminum, maybe a bit thinner. The sides are ABS plastic. The material was just scrap from a family member.

I was going to test this weekend, but the weather is showing 100*. Not really in the mood to bake in the car...

Car is ready to go though. I'll be testing the nitrous tonight and adding a purge valve. Solenoid is controlled by ecmlink.



Redid the fuel sender. Added bulkheads for the wiring.



Cool random shot from the last track outing.



I still drive this car to work a lot. It's really enjoyable. I'm going to look into getting a set of wheels/tires for the street, possibly the same wheel but with a radial or sticky all season.

Awesome to see you actually drive the car on the street! Can't wait to see more video's!

It's nice being able to enjoy the car when not racing as well!

I plan to get a lot of good video at the next track outing and make a short film.

Nitrous was definitely the answer. It comes up almost instantly now. Might go test this weekend depending on the weather.

Took the car back to the track for its second outing.

Ended up with a 9.93@140mph. Unfortunately it was pushing through the brakes at 7psi so I was launching there before I triggered the light/timing stuff too bad.

Awesome. Are you happy with the results or do you think it has more in it?

I am VERY happy it went single digits

Although I was hoping for a better 60'. Once I get this car to stay still at the line and leave at my desired boost (15-20lbs), I should be able to net a high 1.3/low 1.4 60' knocking off a good amount from the ET.

How did you wind up getting Buschur's old turbo? By coincidence?

Not too much going on with the car now. Waiting for IFO this weekend, then the Shootout in a few weeks.

We are finally wet-sanding and polishing the car this week as I'm entering a local car show next weekend.

I purchased the hot parts kit off a random member on here. I believe he bought buschurs car.

What brand of fans are you running? And size?

I run a 10" profrom puller and 12" spal pusher up front.

Got the car tinted. So much better

Looks good. I like the tinted look much better.
