Sorry for me to ask but do you have a trans brake?? If not how the hell do you hold 18 psi at the line i have a hard time with 5 psi lol keep up the good work and the 10's will come at bowling green !

The trans does have a stage right trans brake.. BUT we could hold as much boost with the foot brake. The brakes are very good on the car but this 18 psi is real misleading with this current turbo. It doesn't leave and hit the tires the way 18 psi with a tight converter and smaller wheel turbo would do. Could we foot brake that much with a tighter stall converter? Absolutely not.. This converter is very loose.. makes it easy to build almost instantly. The problem is were dealing with it being to loose now on the top end because of this. Unless I go buy a purpose built converter for alot of money vs the used $275 Art Carr unit this is what we are gonna be dealing with until the goal is met.
Many Many Congratulations!!! Very well deserved. You proved that it could be done with a stock unopened block. Now add up that total cost to see how much you actually spent. I'm going to be in the boat with the other guys' that have spent a ton & haven't hit the 10's yet, lol. Then again, I'm sure with some cool weather & some track time it could be done. Again, my congrats!!!
I agree with Mike T on this. It would or will be interesting to say the least.I know that you are at a disadvantage with a 25+ year old motor but I say keep going and set the stock long block (documented) record.
Nice job!!! Where did the boost end up?
