This car was originally put together in 2006. The engine came out of a 80,000 mile donor car. First time out with stock turbo, intercooler, trans and converter went 12.13@110.
With a Powerstroke intercooler, it went 11.74@114. This is at 3560 race weight.
Next we added some cleaned up heads, 210/215 roller, vigilante converter, and a te63e turbo, and went 10.88@122 on 19-20 psi.
The stock trans started to slip, so it was parked. This summer, I pulled it out of corner, and installed a built trans with a PTC 17 blade converter, 83lbs injectors, E85, and turned up the boost to 25psi. First pass was 10.53@128. I left easy, this was street car night, and the drag radials are 4 years old. The car dropped boost in 3rd. An air intake hose was collapsing. I pushed the solid pipe all the way into it, and made another run. Launched a little harder, 1.49 60', 10.31@130. Still on a rich 10.6afr. This is on a stock rear suspension and shocks from the 90s. Only mod is a passenger air bag with 25psi in it.
I have since installed a set of MT Radial Pro tires, and am turning up the boost until the injectors are done. Shooting for 9s at Norwalk.

ok yea i just ordered a similar combo got a 6266 210-215 roller some ported heads e85 on 120's tryna see what she can do
 
The 66 turbine is a beast. This is an old school 11 blade p trim. Keep the rpms in check, the compressor will be breathing heavy.
