Looks badass..And I love that it is still a street car. Anyone can build a race only car, but having a street/strip car that runs like yours is awesome..
Project Blue Blaze!
- Thread starter beefcake
- Start date
The last day the track was open, i drove just over an hour there, ran 10.10's (wasn't hooking for crap), cruised around with my and grabbed some lunch for about an hour. Then drove home another 45 or so minutes. Put close to 150 miles and 5 passes on it.
The last pics were taken at work today driving it in.

Car looks great as always. Are you up for saying what your goal is this year to run as far as times? Good luck.
We finished up the e85 / blow thur conversion tonight.
My buddy Rob @ Rogue Race Cars in Williamsburg, OH hooked it up.
Figured while we were at it some v bands would be a good idea.
If you get the setup in blow thru from vortech / paxton, the straight pipe is about 9-10 inches.
With the tubular radiator support deleting the fat factory piece, we were able to get our straight piece to 13.5"
Fired her up tonight and the signal seems really good, more straight is always good.
The race bypass Vortech said is good for about 800 crank HP, we should be getting close to that at the wheels, so we added a 2nd race one.
The car sounds so much better venting to the atmospher with the blow thru vs recirculating with the draw thru.
Lund sent me a new tune to get the car going. It started once, but wouldn't idle more than 30 seconds, then wouldn't run again. Fuel seemed on the rich side as it was getting to our eyes
Quick text and he shot me another file a few minutes later. Car fired up and idled good, did a 2 minute log at idle, then started some revs, and the car was stumbling a little bit.
Sent the log, 5 minutes later, had a new file. The car idles the best it ever has. The revs up to 6k were smooth as silk.
Jon really is an amazing tuner. A completely new setup to my car and he got it dialed almost perfectly from what I can tell in just 10 minutes.
It was pouring rain and I didn't have a ride to take the car with me, but I think it's going to run out really good. We'll be fine tuning it soon.
We upgraded the lines to 10 feed, and 8 return. We also added ID 1000 injectors. These injectors are the poo. It will be all I recommend to people from here out. (I have great pricing on them too btw! lol, gratuitous sales plug)!

Sounds awesome. Does the stock paxton kit come as a draw through or blow through? I was planning on getting a jlt intake and the Blow through one is only $170 compared to the draw through which is 250. Which one would i have to get?http://jlttruecoldair.com/ZenCart/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=389
It comes blow thru.
Let me know when your ready, i have the best prices on the paxton kits
