*VIDEO* Turbo FB vs V8 S-10

[estevan62274]

Went to the track to see how my car would run since i finally got it tuned.
She put down 305@12psi about 2 months ago.

She ran a 12.45@112.
I know there's more in her but i'm happy for now

Thanks for looking

Sweat! Glad to see you out running it! Looks like you walked the S-10 down on the big end.. What was the 60 foot? I bet that car will go 11's as it sits!

Thanks, Mike!
11's would be sweet!

Down here it either V8's or nothing, but I think earned some respect that night. I got alot of complements for my car from all types of people.

8.0 in the 1/8th is great. throw some race gas in and turn the boost up... 11's are waiting on you!

NEW video from the other night

Best i ran that night was 13.11@111
I was taking it easy off to line.
I know the car has more in it if i could lauch it but im worried about breaking the rear.

I am glad to see you running it. So many people build there cars and never find out what they can do! I am sure the car is safe to add some psi. Put in some race gas and turn her up! Or call Ray and discuss with him.

Mike,
Now, I really wished that I tuned her for more boost!
But we did have CAS problems that day on the Dyno, and now its been running flawlessly since that day!
Not one hickup like it was doing on the dyno.

I'm going to talk to Ray about turning it up.
Honestly she really doesn't feel as fast as before.
I guess i'm already used to the cars power.

[sk8world]

Ray scaled it all the way thru and that with pump gas. Put in some c16 turn it up and dont worry.

[estevan62274]

new best from the other night 12.44@116
If I could lauch this bitch I know that I could be in the 11's
Sorry on video just a time slip
Steve

[sk8world]

congrats on the new best. What was the 60 footer?

[estevan62274]

60ft 2.194
It's pretty shitty!

If you blow your rear end, you can have my GSL rear from my 84. Its got 120K on it. I have some moser axles for the stock rear end that converts it to 5 lug and also a respeed rear brake conversion kit that I didn't use on my FB. If you want those pieces just let me know. You can go mid 11's on a stock rear end with axles and not have to worry.

That 8.8 that I put in my FB works awesome. It weighs probably 80-100 more lbs than the stocker and probably robs more power but I like launching at 8K .

[sk8world]

yeah.. 2.19 60 is bad. You have a 11 second car no doubt with a 1.7 to 1.8 60. I have to agree with Brian, nothing like a 8k rpm launch!
