It's still there as far as I know. A couple friends of mine are active in ECTA, the story is a defense contractor had first right on the grounds lease at that facility and their business was becoming much more active, meaning their was no more room or time for the racers.
If we can get some more needed cuts in the defense budget we might get our mile back, lol. Probably wishful thinking there.

Anyhow, I feel confident that if you can build a setup that will make 900 RELIABLE rwhp and put such to the ground efficiently, you can hit 200 in an LT1 f-body with little more than lowered stance (an absolute neccessity above about 140 in these cars) and some minor aero adjustments here and there.
INTMD8's previously mentioned car was one of the best and most well-sorted "do it all" street oriented f-bodies I've ever seen. Absolutely zero corners cut on that thing and it showed, 199 on the first pass with stock 1996 SS bodywork and 3700lb raceweight is a heavy tune to play, particularly when you had just driven the thing from Chicago to Maxton. With just a tire change it was also capable of running 9s at well over 140 in the 1/4, all with a T56 and intact factory creature comforts.

850-900 repeatable, reliable rwhp, some minor aero tweaks, proper gearing and adequate traction and you're likely there.

my 2:73 rear end would help ya lol

at 70 I'm not even pulling 2k on the tach

Dude when my car was stock with 2.73s I could do 80 and only turn 2000 rpms

I don't recall if you mentioned if you're staying M6 or swapping to A4, but I know my M6 turns 2000 RPMs at 80 MPH with the stock 3.42s lol.

Im keeping the M6. Its pretty much required. lol

The gearing depends on power, wieght ect. I only got 1 mile to hit 200+

I noticed in your last thread you mention oil squirters to cool pistons. Great idea and very cheap to accomplish. I've seen great results from them in offshore powerboat motors namely from mercury in their 1075hp supercharged motors and id have to imagine they also have them in their 1600hp turbo motors to keep piston temps down. Just be careful because if you do decide to install them and the jetting is too big they can 'flood' the rings with oil and keep the rings from breaking in properly and in some cases at all.

someone else after my goal:P my builder warned about that as well, i opted to stay away from them on this motor and just went with having everything coated, probably going to pay for that in the long run

Guess we will have to see who comes out on top:p lol

I've been sitting in the shadows guess you would say working on the car.

Been pulling more wieght from car. Got the top end ironed out. And been talking with some companies getting my bottom end figured so its bullet proof. The price tag keeps growing:banghead:

Been having parts trickle in weekly almost for the build.

haha as long as it stays together ill be happy:P its amazing how quickly the "i want more power" to "you need more money" scale climbs:doh: but worth it in the long run, saves yah from a second...or third build

Yep. My car was built, tore down, and rebuilt like 20 times on paper. Before I came up with mostly final design so I could start. lol
