Little VMP 2.3 TVS goes 8.90's first time out!

It peaks around 7K & flatlines thru 8K... I think the small 1 3/4 headers are holding it back. Not to mention the blower is maxed out.
Great average power. Probably why it traps so well for the pwr/weight.
That is awesome congrats and can't wait to see your mid 8 pass

Congrats Scott! Very nice! Is your motor sleeved or just rods and pistons? Can you share your suspension setup?
Thanks guys. I actually cracked my stock block last year. I went with a FRPP block because I didn't trust anyone close to sleeve a block.
My suspension is full BMR with heim joint/bearings. It doesn't make any more noise then poly on the street. I also have the new. BMR anti roll bar. I leave it unhooked on the street.
I had my trans upgraded over the winter, but it looked mint after 130 passes when opened up. I got the parts from Beefcake Racing & Finishline Performance in Cincinnati Ohio did a great job on the rebuild.
I'm still running the stock un modded torque converter.

I took some timing out for my first pass. I was going to do a 1/8 mile hit. Everything felt good, so I stayed in it. Car dead hooked to a weak 1.39. It should go mid 1.2's when I get it dialed in. I was happy to see 154.7 mph in 2000DA. 9.00 @ 154.7 for my very first pass off the street. I drive the car to the track.
Man those sixty foot times on the stock stall Definitely jealous. Can't even come close to that with mine.
I could smell coolant on startup when the car would sit... I thought it was a head gasket, but found a crack. I swapped my old internals into a new block.
It went 1.30 last year. I've gained 70whp & dropped some weight this year. It should get interesting. Easy 1.2's
Bad ass car! Do you have a cage or roll bar in it? just curious.

Do they ever give you trouble at milan or do you just run no et?
That's Crazy, do you at least have a driveshaft loop? haha...
Assumed the car was gutted inside with a cage. It is amazing that's for sure. What the heck is the term for a car like that on the street? Can't be called a sleeper, that's for Volvo Wagons with a fox body swap. 5.0 badge throws sleeper out the window.

Curious which track lets you run 9's without one, let alone 8's?
If he runs during track rentals then the rules do not apply. I know a few times a year various groups will rent the track for a day around here. The track will provide a couple of bodies to man the starting lines but thats it, no tech inspections. Around here it normally cost around 100 for the day if you are able to get in on one.
I run No ET / Grudge nights. Tech is super lite, they don't even open up my hood. Their purpose is to bring street racers off the street, and to the track. As long as ET's aren't posted on a time board for everyone to see, they let things slide
