    went to Beech Bend Sat. night and had a hard time making it down the track. I have the anti-roll bar installed but still have the Moroso Trick rear springs that are different spring rates per side. Have a set of Afco springs ordered for all 4 corners but haven't gotten them yet. We made it down the track 3 times. The first two were out of the right lane and we went 6.11 and 6.12 with 1.48 and 1.51 60" spinning like crazy. We then changed to the left lane and went 1.41 60' and the car made a hard right about 100' out and I let off. I came back to the left lane and went 1.458 60' 3.95 to 330' and went [email protected] :bang: :bang:. I wanted it to go a 5 something so bad I could taste it. This was @3410lbs and with 15lbs. of boost and AFR readings from 10.8-11.8 throughout the run. I can't wait to get all the springs on the car and set all of my cheapo Competition Engeneering shocks right. I realized on the way home from the track that the driver front shock is still set on stiff extension like I had it before the anti-roll bar :bang:. It is slowly coming around. I love my turbo.

    Oh so close. Wish it had been a 5.xx but that's still hauling ass.

    That's very impressive! If only you could have completed the run with the 1.41 sixty foot, you would have a 5.9x slip. I hope my PT76GTS will run those kind of times in an old Regal body that I have.

    yeah, that's the part that sucks so bad. The track was a one lane track and that lane was marginal. I wish I could have had another 1.41 or 1.39 60' on the 6.03 pass and I would have had my 5 second slip. I really think this motor is making some really good power. I know that it is screaming for the right convertor behind it but my wallet is screaming for mercy! Oh well I think we are going to wait for a month and go to the next OSCA race in Hardinsburg KY. and make some time trials on that track because I know it is always a hooking track! I can't wait!!! :chacha:

    One of my co-workers has a '93 Stang with a 347 and a 76GTS turbo. He also recently went 6.03 at 118. He has run several 1.40-1.41 sixty foots as well, but can't get the top end and the sixty foots to come together on the same pass. :bang:

    Ive been following your build for a while now. I'm doing a similar build, but with an 83 bu wagon. I'm hoping you'll see 5s, as do I.

    I'm sure you'll see a 5 after you get the suspension figured out

    How much more boost do you think you can get out of it after the suspension is sorted out & you crank it up?

    Those are some awesome times. I see the headers are working great... There is quite a bit left between suspension and boost. :2thumbs:

    Not to highjack but i have a set just like em for sale if anyone else wants a set. They been converted to 3in V bands . Ready to bolt on and build a crossover. Check the forsale section

    Damn nice times. I am also running a 406 in my chevelle and am in the middle of switching over to a single setup. I had read some of your posts before about the S400. Thats really impressive out of a single S400 on your car. This makes me even more excited about these turbos. I am thinking about the S400 with the upgrage to the 88mm.
