I finally got a good tranny I'm going to try and get in this week. Mvb and brake, but won't be using the brake quite yet. So with an auto it should be pretty decent. I'm hoping for some where in the 120 for a trap. I'll be running at pueblo motor sports park.

Haha won't be that nasty. I'm hoping for a 130mph car once the tranny is in and the rear end is built. But for now I'll be happy with anything near 120!

Tranny is in, shifter mounted. Got to wire up the good stuff on the tranny and fill fluids up. And put the turbo stuff back on. Should be ready to go tomorrow night. If it is, going to head to the track tomorrow or sunday

Car keeps getting hot and some small leaks then it should be good to really hammer on it.

Well I learned that the turbo has gone out since the last post. I have a borg Warner s475 from forced inductions on the way

Now something isn't right with the carb, it's going way rich part throttle and won't spool. But getting it figured out..
Possibly going fuel injection this winter

man, this thing is going to be a monster. What are your hp/ET goals?

Haha thanks. If it ever runs right! On 20 pounds I want to be around 700.
I'm slowly losing interest on the idea of the blow thru carb. I've missed 2 events now cause I just can't seem to keep it running right.
Looking into the fitech go efi 8. Good for blow thru, easy to switch over and has all the goodies I'll need. Its good to 1200 Na so I figure I'll meet my goal with it boosted.

As long as you have adequate fuel and spark you should be able to hit your goal. I have similar goals with a Precision 7675 through a 4R70W. Don't get too caught up on hp numbers though because these transmissions soak up power.

Yea, I should. If I can get the carb right I'll have the fuel I think. Got a prostar 500 ready to go in but holding off to see what's going on with the carb.
Yea, I'm not too worried. Time slip is what tells you how bad the car is in my opinion.
You should be able to get there with yours too. What are you doing for engine management?

Oh my time slip goals are 130's in the low 10's but would love a 9 second slip
My buddy with the potentially 1000rwhp F150 went with a turbo350 automatic. Loves it! Dang near bullet proof with little to no extra parts.

I know exactly how it is haha. But reving to 7k is pretty healthy.i think you'll be pretty happy there.

Thanks, hoping to have a good time slip in a couple weeks but who knows.
This winters plan is a cage, rear end and maybe fuel injection.
