What would be the problem with rain? You're not alone on liking the look of a blower etc sticking through the hood/I may be alone in this, but I love cars with engine parts sticking through the hood. Besides, it's not like you car can't back up the look, haha. Did that create any issues when driving in the rain?
As far as the power number goes, i dont really care, i took the car to the dyno after the track just to see where it was making peak power in the car. I am putting a 4500 throttle body on the car and that will double the airflow potential of the 4150 so i think that will be worth quite a bit of power. The manifold shows 2" of vacuum towards the top of the pull.HP seems low, but for EFI it maybe that low idk. At-least that dyno put a more realistic number then the one I ran mine on.
So is this a 10.0 class that who ever runs the closes average wins that class? Sounds a lot like NMRA/NMCA True Street.

Just out of curiosity do you think you might eventually throw some spray at it? See how quick it can really go. Maybe some 8's? Do you have limiters on the front end? It leaves well and you are cutting good 60s but it's not very violent out of the hole(which is a great thing) I've been seeing some of these mustangs cutting 1.18-1.20 60s(ungodly) I'll be happy if I can get mine in the 1.5 range
Yeah I've seen him over on the corral talking about some different things. His car is nasty. I'm switching over to the team z suspension myself.Its more violent than it looks, the car, in my opinion wasnt too consistent on drag week in the first 100'. It bounces a ton on marginal tracks and even when it went 1.36 on dragweek it didnt look so pretty. I plan on trying some things with the rear end to free some adjustment up in the front end.
Right now i have to run the front end full loose or else it will knock the tires off of it. If i have a loose surface to race on i have no adjustment left and a small tuning window for the suspension. I have talked with Tim that has the 86 hatch with the ls motor and he had similar issuse and gave me some suggestions to try so next year that is on the agenda. Id like to see a 1.29 sixty foot and i think i can do it
@A5literMan I didnt take it as you saying the car is a slouch... It is kind of a compliment to me if people think it looks tame, the drama free passes are always the fast ones.
Here are some videos i did from drag week.
This is day 2 into day 3, the best pass of the week, and probably the best pass of my life. I didnt think i would go 9's in the heat and humidity.

Here is Tim in his 454ci LS truck motor that won the Big Block class... He went 9.24 at cecil a couple weeks ago! The car is IMPRESSIVE.

Here's my buddy Mike, this dart was one of the coolest cars on drag week. Looks so tame till he gets into the burnout box. The car has so many tricks you cant see... Dual fuel systems, Fast XFI, 5/8'' studs under the hubcaps.

And last but not least my east coast pal for the week Mark. Super clean Grand Prix, IS nitrous system on board. This is his 3rd drag week without a single failure.

you get the clutch issue squared away?
Wanna sell that 4150? Shoot me a PM if ya do. Figure it's already spoken for though.
Anyways, I saw signups for drag week last week. Got me excited to go check it out again this summer. I'm also going to be using a holley system so it's good to know you've got a handle on it in case I struggle.
Looking forward to seeing what your car does this year, I was impressed last year for sure
