atomicfusion1647545515 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Some of you may have seen my car down at IPS... we are making some changes this year.. 1st the motor is being freshened and punched out to a 434 with a small compression boost, better rods and pistons for more power handling. 2nd the Intercooler setup is being redone so that we can get even colder CAI Temps and build more power 3rd N20 Has been added and is being tuned to give that little extra for the new records we will be setting soon. 4th 10 point cage is happening now. Car goes to Holt Race cars tomorrow (Friday) and the NHRA is actually changing the rules based off of what they have to do to get the cage in my car. 5th New Transmission, we are upgrading from the 4L65 to a 4L80 with a transbrake. This should allow us to build boost on the line and launch in boost for better 60' times (traction provided) 6th Still up in the air are an Intake change, turbo upgrades and spindle changes to run 15" slicks on the back. We will see if we have time to finish these items. Car should be making > 1200 RWHP after these changes and with some things we are working on with weight savings, we should be shooting for 8.50's@160+ Should be an interesting season to say the least.

SHIEF Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Mark, if I may....you might want to check out PK Race Cars in Lancaster (now). I'd bet him (Pat and his son Andy) against anyone in the industry as far as chassis fabrication. I'm only as good as my word, but when the NHRA chassis guy's go there I think that says enough. Not that Holt isn't good, but Pat is simply the man for getting your car down the track straight and with top-notch quality to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against any other shop out there, but Pat is where any future chassis work of mine is going (not that I am a hardcore racer or anything).

You should've seen the Cavalier they did for Pinky (chassis cert guy). Was a ground up design/build and the car was simply amazing. No wonder why people have to get scheduled with him. He's where we go to get all of our stuff done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam1647545489 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Mark, you and jason should look into purchasing a AMS 1000. Its kinda like a progressive box for nitrous but only for boost. The 500 is basic one with the 1000 being the good one to get. I am picking one up and I would bet your car would go faster in the 1/4 with it. It would help with tire spin down low since you will be able to launch the car in a lower boost setting with it building up to full boost once you are rolling down the track. http://www.ams1000.com/home/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicfusion1647545515 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I was under the impression that my boost controller would do that as well... I will ask the guys about that one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicfusion1647545515 Posted April 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Well,the car is at the cage shop. Officially gone too far to turn back now. Should be back from the fabricator no later than next Friday. Then the motor goes in and the new trans. Looks like we could possibly make it in time for the event! Keeping my fingers crossed.
