Ted, Thanks for the update. Mike sells a dual 3inch exhaust that might be the ticket. I think Jason is working on his single 4 inch deal too. Do you have any better quality pictures? Later,
Just wait for the 1st track pass. It'll run nearly 130 to the 1/8th on 15# of boost. It's crazy how easy it is to make power with them.
Hopefully we don't start blowing through the converter when we start leaning on it. I'm sure we will. Probably going to need a PTC converter soon. :biggrin:
I found a video of the rear end work Gilsbach did. they did a nice job reinforcing the stock 8.5". YouTube - g body race suspension
Here is a vid of the 9.17 @ 149 pass. This was running 12psi of boost leaving on 5. Time to get more aggressive (no pun intended) on the launch and go for the 8's next time out... It has been a best of 5.86 @ 126 in the 1/8th on a pass that had to be aborted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndHJMdj_AEk
what did it run on the 1/8 on that 9.17 pass?Do you have a 2 step on the car?what does it weigh? thanks Dennis
Dennis we have a 2 step on the car, we didn't hit the 2 step on the 9.17 pass as the launch boost didn't quite get it there. I had it set to 4650, it is controlled by the BS3. I'll have to dig through the timeslips down at the shop and get the 660' on the .17 pass. The car weighs in at 3485# with Mike in the car.
Do you no what the car weighed?Does the BS3 have the 2 step in the base box for the ls1 or do you have to upgrade to the 3 step to get it? Dennis
Dennis the COP system has 2 step built in. The ETM (Traction control) is available with a 3 step function if you upgrade. The nice thing with the ETM is you get the extended logging and that logs up to 76 seconds. The car weighs #3485
Are you running the ETM?Is #3485 with the driver.Are you running stock truck coils or MSD coils? Thanks Dennis
Dennis, we are not running the ETM on Mikes car yet. There was some work to be done on the 58x LS7 firmware still. We are running the truck coils. Absolutely no issues with the COP setup. :biggrin:
ttt for updates This is one cool project. Did the car have to be cut to do this install? .... in other words..... could you go back to the LC2 and never tell it had a LS motor at some point? Does it have A/C?
The motor mount that bolts to the crossover was moved a little. It could be moved back. Nothing else was cut up. The car didn't have A/C so he just built around it. The accessory package is from a Vette so I would imagine A/C would not be much of a problem for anybody who wanted it. It has power steering also.
John, we left off in a good place this year. The Syclone motor is done now so we are going to focus on getting the truck in the 8's. All and all, we are expecting to see Daves TSM car in the 8's, Mikes car in the 8's and Mikes AWD Syclone in the 8's next season.
