YSI is on the car now.. All is good to go. Kept the same 3.33" pulley. I'll post a pic tomorrow but honestly looks the same.

Picking up the rear end tomorrow and I'll try to get that installed in the next couple of days.

Removing the 6spd on Saturday :)

Damn I'm really bad at posting pics lol!!

T56 magnum has been removed and sold. Waiting final payment in a couple days (have a 1k non-refund deposit now) and it'll be gone.

Rear end is back in the car..

Plan is wait for my tax return (and hopefully the GOV to reopen so I can get a secured paycheck) and then I'll buy and install the Auto setup..

Re-tune on Ignite and hopefully make in the 900's through the auto on Ignite and the YSI.

Buy MT Pro Bracket Radial

Run low 9's maybe a high 8 :D

Start preparing for Mod National in October.. If I transfer back to the south it's a 100% done deal. IF I end up staying in Cali I'm going to try my hardest to go and rep the Centri guys out there

I'm really hoping it runs bottom 9's off the trailer. The MPH was there before and I was out of steam at 6400rpm.. now I won't be out of steam lol.. and I'll be in the 1.3-.4 60ft with ease lol. I went 10.3 with a 1.76 60ft, on a 18" tire DR

After talking with a few Vortech Techs, and some big Vortech guys who race it's not shocking.. I was making 910rwhp.. That's about 1000hp at the crank, which is what the blower is rated at. They said I would basically have to pulley down so much for any extra boost and at that point it would just create heat for minimal power.

They all seem to think I'm going to pick up close to 100rwhp on just the blower swap alone based off of the peak power of the JT and peak boost at rpm, and what I actually spin RPM wise.

Oh yea plenty of room the standard wheel YSI has been in the 8's for a while with a modular and even 7's.. Then I can always throw the billet wheel in there for $700 and gain even more. That's way down the road though. I want to bracket race the car.. Less chance of me breaking shit trying to always go faster and faster.

What cage do you plan on running? I will need to put one in my BAB sooner or later.

Well I originally was going to run a Wolfe Racecraft 8.5 cage.. it's cheap and then just have it installed. BUT in the South labor is waaaay cheaper than Cali and it might be cheaper to have a fab shop custom build one for my car.. I'm going to work on costs when I get there. If it's cheaper to buy the pre-fab one from Wolfe I'll go that route and then have the shop just weld it in.. I'll paint it and such myself.

How long will you be in Bama?

Nice to see the car is progressing nicely. I saw your comment about why you chose the 4r70. I figured that was the reason. Can't wait to (hopefully) see a track video.

As of right now it'll be 4yrs, but I'm looking to finish out my career there which is 7yrs until I retire at 20 from the Coast Guard.. I'll likely just continue to stay out there until my son is out of school. So I'm hoping for about 10+yrs in the area.. Likely never moving back to Cali that's for sure..

Thank for the compliment, and ya that's why I went 4R70.. I was debating a glide, but I couldn't pass up this deal. The goal is to bracket race the car anyhow.. Less wear and tear and easier on the pocket book lol.
