Yeah the autos make it easy to go fast but I like driving my car down the track not riding in it.

8.27 all downhill!!

Qwik_Sn95 08-10-2012 06:23 PM

Yea I dont see how those times could be accuret being all downhill.

I wish we had a NHRA 1/4 mile track thats extra wide like that. I think just outside Summerville would work out nicely.. ow and a E85 pump on site. :cheers

Doesn't look downhill. It just goes uphill at the end. Carolina looks the same way

Thats what i was thinking. Either way thats fast as shit.

Qwik_Sn95 08-11-2012 12:47 AM

Yea jackson is just like that now that I think of it.

LilRedEclipse 08-11-2012 11:22 PM

Ha that's what everyone was saying. There's a track in Tennessee that I hit a while back and I had to stay in it through the traps to make it up the damn hill

Then everyone called bullshit on my 116mph on a 30r turbo.


That 8.27 was uphill at the end.

LilRedEclipse 05-19-2013 06:23 PM

Had to take a break and pay off some debt / family time / kid shit....

It's finally almost done.

Goals are to make it down the track and back alive.

1000whp /mustang dyno

8.99 1/4

160s mph

Should be fun :)

Good to see you back Chris! What all have you changed on the setup?

LilRedEclipse 05-19-2013 06:53 PM

Nothing really changed.

Oringed the block, New pistons, new gaskets / bearings. This thing is pretty much fresh this time out.

Hopefully I can get above 40psi this year.

GreebeanZ28 05-19-2013 10:10 PM

Gah deng that thing is nasty wicked.

dkbmxer002 05-19-2013 10:20 PM

Holy fucking FMIC Batman! Impressive!

Qwik_Sn95 05-22-2013 12:24 AM

Looks good. U still in the Beaufort area?

LilRedEclipse 05-22-2013 02:23 PM

Thanks guys.

I'm in Havelock, NC now. I still come down to a few track that are near the NC /SC boarder. I mainly hit Fayetteville or Rockingham now.

LilRedEclipse 05-29-2013 08:45 AM

It runs:

Took me about 10 minutes to get it to idle and went from there. Idled it for about 5 minutes, tested launch control, made 20psi and let idle for about another 15 minutes.

ForceFed4g63 05-29-2013 08:55 AM

Nice! Now we need some track vids!

svtguy 05-30-2013 04:46 AM

spam again

Well first track day out I smashed it into the wall at about 110. I was running at Kinston Dragway on the lowest boost settings I could get out of it. It spun pretty bad and blew the cross shaft out of the diff in the rear.

So about a week after that I had it all back together with a new front end /tube setup. Took the thing to the DSM shootout in OHIO.

First test pass out it strips 1st gear out destrying the input shaft with it. Fuck it.. I build a transmission at the track. Get it back out for a test pass and at the top of 2nd it blows a brush out of the weldon fuel pump and the ring gear on the flywheel pops out.. WTF


After that I went to pa for some faimly time. Some friends and I fixed the car and took it out to pittsburgh raceway park.

First pass 11.4@13 just checking the car
2nd pass 9.9@150 On the junk ass trans I built at the shootout. Had to let out twice.
3rd pass. Shifter cable popped off somehow.


So fuck it I'm currently swaping it over to an auto. I have almost everything done Just need to get some Nitrous hooked up.

Video from Pittsburgh.
