I like to keep my car streetable and IMO it wouldnt be with all of the above listed. If I can go bottom 10's N/A consistently and maybe bust open the Nitrous bottle when I get a 9 sec. itch here and there then I can avoid the above posted negatives....

Sounds like all good reasons to me!!!

While I can appreciate a trailered drag car, I'm much more impressed with a car that drives in, runs, and drives home!

While Rob starts making some big numbers with this new N/A combo ill take over the boosted side once my supercharged 408W gets running.

Robert,

what kind of power does Jay expect from this combo?

We havent talked any power #'s yet, only E.T.'s
I believe the combo will make 500+ to the tires on a dynojet N/A.

It's looking like im going to need a 4.56-4.88 to get me in the right range for this build.

Waiting to hear back from a few different people on some possible tranny options. Im considering:
Liberty
Toploader
TKO 600

Here's what i'll be using for my intake:

Then my Accufab 90mm throttle body will be bolted onto that.....

There good to 9000 rpm on a 302 but on my 385 it will have to be professionally ported to make my 8000 rpm pulls.

how much will it have to be opened up to match your cyl heads?

Not sure, I'll leave that up to TEA or Greg @ XSR

Thats going to be some serious RPM, you'll have to make sure you get the right trans/clutch. I'm sure you're going to need something face-plated or pro-shifted for 7500+ shift points.
Good luck man, hopefully I'll see it at Pinks (or before).

Yeah im in the works now with Wally @ Pro-Motion to do a face-plated TKO 600 or possibly a TKO 600 with Carbon Fiber synchro's to withstand the 8K shifts.

Thanks man and I plan to do lots of testing all the way up to Pinks.

Has anyone here driven a face-plated tranny on the street?

I haven't, but heard it's a real bear and not very streetable.

**Balaska347** · 01-25-2010, 01:00 AM

I like the intake setup. I was going to do the same but it would only hurt my setup. It outta work great with the rpms you be turning.

Been on the street with one. Not anywhere near downtown commuting, but never the less upshifted and downshifted sometimes. Had a deep gear in the rear so 2nd gear starts got the call most of the time. 5th was still syncronized too. Kinda funny when going through the gears in traffic and a loud bang emanates from the trans. when selecting a gear. The glance from the unassuming could be interpreted as this dude must have just go this car and is murdering that trans. hahaha!

Well I joined up with Dave @ Team Z (www.Teamzmotorsports.net) for some much needed suspension and rear-end pieces. If Team Z can help some of the fastest stock suspension cars in the country go quick then im sure we'll have no issues getting my project to hook.

Also coming aboard to help with the Pinks All Out project car is Mike @ Wolfpack (www.Wolfpackspeed.com). His shop will be building a complete 8.8 and help with some of the welding and tuning of the suspension.

Im very grateful to have Team Z & Wolfpack in my corner for this project. Im very confident in both of their shops parts and abilities. Big thanks go out to Dave & Mike for coming aboard!

had a G force dog ring trans and upshifted and downshifted just fine. The upshifting a low rpms was just fine too. Best tranny I ever owned.Love to hear all the whining from the straight cut gears and the banging as it went into gears. so much easier with this trans with the gas pedal buried in the floorboard
