Been a while since I've been on here, figured I'd check in and throw up an update. End of the season I ventured down to Mod Nationals with a few friends. If you havent been to one of those races yet I highly suggest going, most fun I've ever had at a track and got to meet so many awesome people I've only known as screen names. It did not disappoint! My car didn't disappoint either, all summer I've been stuck in the 9.8-9.9 zone, did that every pass regardless of what I changed/tried. First pass in Georgia it went 9.70 on the test and tune day. Drove the car to the hotel and back to the track and second day hit another new best, 9.54@138 banging off the limiter after the 1000'. I then did the true street event, did the 30 mile cruise and ran 3 back to back to back passes without popping the hood. Some may say the 3.4 makes a lot of heat, but my passes showed otherwise. First pass went 9.68@141, second went 9.68@141, third pass went 9.77@140. All three passes within 30 minutes and no ice or anything to cool it down.
Anyways! the day I got back I started tear down. I didn't tell very many people but I already had purchased 03svtjmc's single turbo kit, and had a bunch of plans. Sold every part of my blower kit locally to a friend which made everything super easy. Finally got the engine bay to appear how it's going to look and figured I'd share it with everyone. Posted on my instagram a few days ago and just now got around to posting it here. Let me know what you think and any questions feel free to ask. I'll be updating this once I make more progress, hoping to have it running next weekend.
Here's the majority of the build:
Stock shortblock, heads, cams(all stock minus headstuds/opg and has over 100k miles)
Scott Rod panels all paint/bodywork done by 03svtjmc
CG fab hot side
Custom cold side/downpipe
Bullseye 80/87 batmowheel turbo
Tial wastegates/bov
Modified stock radiator
AEM Infinity ecu/digital dash with custom wiring harness
Had my 8.8 straightened/braced(was bent pretty bad)
Will be reusing my 4r70w and hoping it holds together
Realistic goals for 2019 is to go 9.20's. Anything faster I'd be more than pumped.
