Well thanks to my buddy James that I'm building the s10 for. He let me borrow his 408 and I put it in and dyno and it made 1033hp on 22 pounds and the turbo won't make no more on this big ol motor! But it's all together and getting ready for first race this weekend!

 

Good luck -- have fun - Be Safe

 

Well got the car out Friday to do some testing for sat first race. Broke out the drag week trailer and drove the car down there and made two passes 1/8 mile passes and costed to quarter cause didn't want to put extra stress on the motor and drove home. Convertor isn't happy at all but was decent enough! Then sat got rained out so didn't get to race. So me and buddy drove 45 miles home in rain! #ad

Did you change it on the spot?

 

Should order some wheelie skis from Jr... Saved countless pans...

Those wheelie skis are cool. I need to stat logging on more to see the updates on this thing. car is bad ass man. the 5.3 definitely made some power before it exploded. can wait till you slam another one in.

 

I tried to go and read back some on the Firebird.... i was trying to find more about it. What's up with this bad ass ride? Is it still of actuality? Did you work on it some more or if its just on a stalling period a bit? I understand all the time crunch's so im deff not bashing! 'Just interested in whats happening over your side of the world thats all! Lol!!

Lead.

 

The trans am is been put on hold till I finish the s10, just to many projects, but plan on getting back on it soon!

 

Yeah the wheelie skis are cool but they don't make the for aje k member that I can find. But some updates I decided to final pull trigger on building my aluminum 5.3, so I hit up jfr racing and he is building me some custom 3.800 bore pistons and I picked up some 243 heads, compression will be 10.3to1 and then I still need to order the molner turbo rods! But will keep everyone updated as parts roll in

 

Not sure if you check this build anymore but did you ever find out what kept blowing your thrust, what was the solution?

 

Bearing clearance have to be different with that much power on stock crank

Well guys I have decided to mini tub the nerd! So I can do some more street racing with it! The plan right now is 29.5 10.5 Hoosier do6 compound on 15x 12 inch rim, I'M using the new Wolfe large mini tub kit, there 4 inches taller and 3 inches longer then the normal ones, this one goes all the way out to quarter panel. It goes to the chassis shop the 27 to get it done and I decided to build a aluminum 5.3 that we are doing are kinds of trick things too, will let y'all know if they all work!

 

Nice update. I'm ready to see this car back together again.

 

Those tubs look nice!! Will they clear just the same in a Notch?

Perfect timing on the all alum bullet build!!! Im about to tear into mine so i'll deff be listening for any of those tricks!!!

Love the Nerd, cool you're still on it.

Well I got a new aluminum fuel cell, went with Rhodes 20 gallon cause I think I'm going methanol and wanted enough to do our 40 mile cruises for true street, also got new race craft inc off set lower control arms. Which I total forgot to get any pics before I dropped the stuff at the chassis shop lol! But will get some pics soon.

Been looking at Rhodes cell's myself lately as im also getting there with the project. I like the fact Rhode's tank's come with -12 and -10 oulet/ return bungs. Others are always either -8 or maybe, if your lucky, -10 outlets. I never had the chance to see any of their products and have yet to order from them either, so, can you tell me about the quality? They look very nicely built. They have a lot of nice (looking) and different stuff. Im looking at their Pro series unit with the sidekick water/ice box for an air/water unit as i like the fact that its (water box) sharing a wall with the fuel cell.... 'might just help in keeping the fuel a bit cool(er) for free! It really looks like a nice unit. It also comes pre wired as well as with a mount for a pump and all. (from what i seen tough, it looks to be really worth it to be shopping for the pump elsewhere).

Looking good and moving ahead as always man!! Nice to see!

The quality is nice and we run the 15 gallon in the fairmont and I like it, but I guess I didnt read the sizes on the 20 gallon when I bought it cause its shape weird, its alot taller then wider if that makes since, I will try to get some pictures.
