Tires and Rims: Body: Other: Future plans: Here is more info about this awesome car. It has undergone quite a transformation: This car is my wife's car which has a Incon 800tt kit on it that has run a best of 9.8@140mph. The kit was purchased two summers ago through Shane Hill. I originally put this on a stock short-block with Total engine airflow twisted wedge heads with the stock cam and rocker ratio. Along with 42lb injectors, TFS-R intake, Lentech AOD lockup, 3.55 gears, and a stock A9-L computer. I figured it would be a low 11 second daily driver while I was putting together my car. Boy was I wrong, the first time out the car went 10.90's with no tuning. So I finally decided to spend the time and money to get the car dyno tuned and a chip burnt for the car. So off to Dynotech racing we went in Ohio (6hour drive). Initial test netted 425 RWHP, half hour later 515 RWHP! All that with just a chip. Back home Kim ran the car to a best of 10.33@133. The one problem was the car was blowing head gaskets (well 2) over a period of time. So off went the heads to get o-ringed. While the heads where off we slid in a F-303 cam. Then back to the dyno to tune again. The new cam netted 533 Rwhp and 648 rwtq. Back home the car ran a string of 10.3's at 136 Then a connecting rod broke just below the piston pin. Taking out the block, cam, another piston, oil pan, pick-up etc. Good thing it was the end of the year! I was already in the processes of building a A-4 blocked 328" monster for myself and my car. So we decided to put all my stuff into Kim's car for the following year to see if we could run 9's. So we bolted the Incons onto my motor, which consisted of: A-4 block, 8.5:1 Ross custom pistons, crower 5.315 rods, Moldex 3.2 stroke crank, Canton pan, TEA stage II twisted wedge heads, CamMotion street solid roller turbo cam, Spyder intake, 75lb injectors, and FAST DFI with wide band O2. Since we planned on going 9's I also slid in my Glide with the Ultra-bell set-up and 4500 converter. This car still retained all the stock components. Like battery up front, stock fan, shroud, power-steering, etc. This car is by no means gutted. Stock interior with the exception of a custom roll bar. For tuning this time we took the car to Livernois Motorsports where Dan Millen tweaked the DFI. In initial testing the car made 577RWHP with low boost and a very conservative tune. When we picked the car back up Dan, I and Kim headed down the road to Milan dragway for some shake down passes. On Kim's first run the car broke loose at the 330ft mark, she pedaled and ran a 10.9@133. Dan was impressed with Kim's driving to say the least. Back in the pits Dan took some more power out of the DFI to try and get the car down the track. Next run was a 10.33@135 still a little slippery. A few more runs later with Dan still working out the Maps Kim went a 10.15@137 all at 3500lbs. Later during the year through more chassis tuning we where able to slowly step up the power. Only to find the car surging for fuel. The injectors where going static, then hitting 104% where they would shut down. The culprit ended up being the Cartech intank fuel pick-up. Shane Hill got me onto looking into this. So I undid my fuel line just before the regulator and ran it into a gas can. Turn on the fuel pump, and Walla! The fuel was surging! The fuel tank was full and the fuel pump had full power running to it. So that ruled those two items out. After removing the fuel tank and inspecting the pick-up we found the problem. The Cartech intank fuel pump insert pick-up runs straight up then make a 90 out. The top of the pick-up is cast aluminum and the 1/2" tubes are welded to the bottom of the of the cast piece at a 90 degree angle. Then your fittings are screwed into the cast piece. In our case a straight 10an- 1/2 piece. The pipe thread end was screwed in far enough that it was blocking off part of the passage causing it to cavitate. So for all of you running this insert, if you ever see your fuel pressure gauge bouncing around. Get rid of the insert! We didn't find this problem until the end of the year so no more passes where made. The best 1/8th mile MPH was 113mph. Now the car is tore back down. We sold the Incon kit just the other day. In its place is a PT-88 4-bolt Precession turbo, HKS GT gate and Cartech exhaust kit. At this time We haven't decided on a intercooler. Air to water or 6-core? My car is in the shop right now getting the finishing touches on the full-on outlaw cage. This car sports a Triangle Engineering 15 gallon fuel cell, Wolf complete rear suspension, 8.8 with Strange spool and axles. The front consists of a complete UPR-Racing tubular k-member kit with coil overs, and a flaming river manual rack. The plan is to win some True Street races and run low 8's. Thanks Cal+Kim Hayward |
