[GT RO]

Well , all remaining parts were ordered today .The trip to JPCracing has been confirmed . Justin and Kevin Macdonald will tune on the 18th of April . We will test @Maryland international raceway on the 19 th .

As some of you know the car went 10.57 @ 140 plus mph on the break in tune with a turbonetics t76mm b.b. turbo ( very bad 60' / blew the tires off ) After planning extensively with Justin we all feel the car will be a low low 9sec monster . Oh by the way CK did I mention we are thinking of scrapping the liquid to air intercooler idea & going with a wilson pro flow nitrous kit . who knows , maybe a 300 shot just for you !( just gettin your attention ) lol
see yah in the staging lanes

Damn, that thing is going to be a beast! Good luck at testing and let us know how it goes.

 

[GT RO]

Well what do you think ? Hoping to be Canadas first 9 sec monster ? think we will make it ?

 

[KIMMER]

With all that stuff, yea! Anything on it made by ford anymore?..

 

[GT RO]

You bet , modular boss block with custom crowher knife edged crank & billet Ibeam rods LOL

 

[don_w]

That is one badass build! And there better be some videos on April 19, too.

Well what do you think ? Hoping to be Canadas first 9 sec monster ? think we will make it ?

With that 140mph trap speed, I think you were already there with a good 60'. Now I think you will be at least at 147-148, maybe even higher. (no nitrous)

Well what do you think ? Hoping to be Canadas first 9 sec monster ? think we will make it ?

With that laundry list.......you f'ning better be in the nine second range.

hsnap:I'm thinking that if I line up behind you @ the tree I can run in the 11's without any power adders just by drafting you.
Good luck with the build

keep in mind this was done on the break in tune at only 14 psi . With the car lightened up a little it is possible if the stars lined up that we could make enough power with out nitrous to run in the ..... well we will see , dont want to speculate to much . Regardless this thing better move . after all the mods last year ,and the build taking so long we only got 3 passes in and had to park it for the winter. we are very excited to meet Justin and his crew . We must be , hell were only driving 14 hrs a day for 4 days just to get there . All I can say is this "BITCH'' better move !!!

 

[ChevyKiller]

9 seconds is a given, my friend, you can bank on that (barring the car stays together of course...)

Bad ass build for sure. I would strongly consider using Justin's front mount water system if I was you though.

Other than that - it's the cat's pajamas for sure... Jeez, we are going to have to have a North American shoot out now...

 

[ZmanM3]

Wow, impressive list of parts, like Don said, please post video, I want to see!

 

[GT RO]

Update on the parts list , also going with aero space dual caliper rear race brakes and all the ''go fast light goodies ''

 

[NotQuik]

just get that suspension dialed in...you already have the mph on low boost for a solid 9 second pass. Keep us posted.

 

[firestang70]

Wow impressive list to say the least.

 

[NastyStang113]

We need pictures !!

 

[GT RO]

We need pictures !!

here's some pics.

 

[NastyStang113]

Nice !!

 

[05GT281]

Very Nice !!! The only thing you should be wondering is will it go 9.50's or 9.20's cause if it you get the car dialed in to where the boost rolls on strong and doesn't blow the tires off there is not doubt it's going somewhere in the 9's. I'm calling 9.36 @ 146

Where did you get the block?
