That's quite impressive to be competing at a competitive level when going up against bigger CI cars like those. But to compete on a level that could put one in the top 5 means you'd have to be really moving in a TB.

Would love to see one at that HP level but Lenny and his team have the fastest TB in the world with the best guy in the business guiding you to a hopefully a 6.99 or better so it seems like it will be some time before a low 6 second pass will come. Does Lenny get a weight break in that class? Man that car is really cooken tho at 7.182 at any CI.

i only have to weight 2300 in pro street. im a little over. i just put a th400 in the car and it's really doing a better job then the pg. if it wasnt for the dam wind, i think i would have been in the 6's! this was a great run because it was a low boost launch and nowhere near max boost at the top end. it was pretty cool to hit 2nd gear about 100 feet out with the front end in the air! kenny just did somemore chassis upgrades that really did the trick. feels like a whole new car!

I could see in the video that everybody was fighting to keep the cars in the groove. I'll call later.
 
Congrats guys!!! You are getting it done!!!! Len, I need to send you a TurboBuick.com banner to put up at those big races:tongue: :biggrin:

It is great to see the mighty little V6 getting some attention!!!
 
Great job Len. It takes some time, but you guys are creeping up on it. Kudos to Kenny also.

Good luck in BG. I wish I could make it to see history in the making. :frown:

we were lucky to get the 2nd pass. they shut the track down after that round as it turned into a cross wind. hope its gone today!
 
I sat down last night just in time to see them rolling up the christmas tree chords and call the race. I know your class was next.

Well Len it looks like a 6 sec. pass should come for sure in BG if ur that close on the LV track. I would assume that the track in BG will yield better results then the LV track since ur so high up. Don't see it being that windy in BG either. Make sure you get every pass on video.

Should be a nice feeling to be the first guy in the 6's while in a V6 TB. There will never be another to be the "first" in the 6's. Good luck.
 
Here are a couple pictures from yesterday.

Good Job Len, John and crew! :cool:

it looked like a bulldozer blade after the last run! thanks for you help and as always thanks to jan moller and his son mat for all their help.
 
I've got a 87 blackout grill out of my car that was stolen...

PM me if you want it. Was planning on keeping it in case I buy a 86 next but I'll gladly let you use it to say it went 190+mph. :biggrin:
