vid:

http://www.we-todd-did-racing....DE%3D









81.5 lsvtec
topline itr pistons w/arp rod bolts
gsr head with crower 403's
maxbore throttle body 64mm
skunk intake mani
jdm dc 4-1 header crushed
2 1/4 crush bent exhaust w/ crappy muffler

mildly tuned by me, with Crome and BRE

motor still has alot in it, i just need a new header/exhaust and some dyno time to play with cam gear timing/ignition timing.

 

thats a rough video, but it gets the point across. pretty decent setup there, sounds strong for what is done to it.

 

eh, yea. it was done with a digi camera.lol

 

nice vid bro. btw your engine isnt overheating is it?

 

no, lol. that guage has a tendancy of doing what it feels like. I have a seperate oil/water temp guage installed so I can keep an eye on things.

 

nice vid what kinda times you think you're gonna put down?

 

ran a 13.0 last year with a horrible 60ft. soooo hopefully i cant bust good into the 12's with my new mods. im also about to pick up a nice header and exhaust so, that will definately get me movin.

 

9000rpm on stock rods ... I see more and more peolpe doing this hope it lasts for you. Good luck and keep us posted

 

Pretty quick.

stock rods with arp rod bolts.

 

Seems to run very good Im looking into building a motor with a very similar setup as what you have. What transmission are you running and are the crower 403's almost the same size as the skunk 2 stage 2's.

 

what kinda tranny are you using? When you ran 13flat how many lbs did your car weigh? how often does your motor see 9k and how long have this motor been "alive"? On that video, were you on slicks?

 

very niceee. Sounds like music to my ears

9000rpm on stock rods? Whats wrong with that??
Thank god for ARP rod bolts!!!

btw... nice setup. keep it up!

 

well, I got out to the 1/8 yesterday and im pretty disapointed. I ran 8.10@85mph. I couldnt cut a decent 60ft to save my life. best 60ft of the night was a 1.82. I was hopeing for low 1.7;s which woulda easily put me into the 7's. well, now my tranny doesnt like me very much, or atleast 3rd gear. Im gunna have to rip apart the tranny when i get a chance because i really cant stand a notchy tranny. I have a feeling i know exactly what it is. Well, hopefully when i get my rmf header i can run some better times. for now im just gunna take care of the heavy unecessary stuff in my car. I still need to remove the power sunroof and lexan my windows and possibly gut my doors out. that will be last because then at that point i woukdnt wanna drive my car on the street.

How many lbs you think your car is right now?

 

yea, that should be good for mid-high 12's. My car weighs around 2200 with ne in it. ill have to get it weighed to be for sure. anyway, im looking for some drag launch springs and some smaller slicks. i keep bogging off the line. anyway, ill have some vids up of my 1/8mi runs soon.

 

nice setup

 

What transmission are you running on your car?

 

I dont know about the 9,000 rpms on stock rods. Alot of people are doing it these days with upgraded bolts but if you look most forged ones are lighter than stock, and give a little more reassurance.
