Well this winter I decided to go more "racecar" with my car in hopes to break into the 9 second range. About halfway through the build I figured I would share an update (inspired by reading Evo2SVT's build post). Didn't want to cut the car up a whole lot and wanted to keep it streetable. Basic rundown on the car, stock(ish) long block, stock heads, stock cams. TVS on 22lbs, e85. 700/633 through the t56.
Switching over to a SRA. 8.8 with 9" ends, 3.73, 33 spline and a spool. Weldling tq boxes, etc.
Going auto, built 4R70W with FB MVB, and circle D converter.
Relocated battery to trunk.
Decided to go with a trunk mounted intercooler tank. Chisled tank and also added Cobra Engineering's intercooler pass through adaptor.
Full UPR suspesion, tubular K, ARB, strange 10-ways, coil overs.
Your average weight savings... Rear seat delete, switched to Corbeau TRS seats. deleted swaybars, AC deleted (never used it). Added a MM 6pt bar. Couldnt quite pull the trigger to cut into the dash for the 10pt just yet.
Planning on doing something different with my intake setup. Currently have a JLT HB, trying to figure out a way to get a true 5" intake RAI style as the HB necks down before the gt500 tb. Going to be putting it on the dyno after the auto swap to squeeze any more power out that might have been left on the table.
Waiting on the rearend and auto at the moment. Front suspension and K member is complete. MM bar is powdercoated and in. Battery and trunk tank is complete. Just fired it up yesterday for the first time in over a month :rockon:
I plan on running the terminator shootout next year, always have a good time at BG. Might do some true street events as well. Can't wait till spring! Will post some pictures this evening
