6 minute(s) of a 183 minute read

Thanks a bunch guys, The car was finally starting to come around but the cylinder heads were hurt from before and we just band aided it to get through. The turbos were maxxed out and would not make any more jam and the Anti roll bar is bent lol.... It couldn't take the power. Once we got down into the low 1.2's for 60 it started bending.

I am working on posting some pics and vids when I can get a few minutes.

Back from the dead,

We rushed to get the car all together and strap on tiny 235 drag radials to run an outlaw 8.5 race this weekend but we were plagued by little problems.

Only got one half ok pass and it went 6.18@140 and 8.95@178 on the little tires and it literally did not go over 10 psi of boost until the 330 mark and left the starting line on 0.

I will try to post some pics and more info when I get a few minutes.

went out and got one VERRRRYYYY soft test hit in before it started raining. Went 5.9@140 and it was on VERY soft boost until about 300 feet had a 1.75 60 foot LOL I know its got mid to low 5s in it if I can get a few more test hits in. Gonna try again this Friday.

We have been out beating on the original cream dream since late may, My wife to be has been driving it nearly everyday and we have over 4000 kms on it already.


Drove it 45 mins each way to the track and ran this on OLD style 275 drag radials:





Here it is late one night in the early spring covered in frost lol





Last weekend was a large car cruise/race/show weekend up here called Street Machine Weekend and they do a 100 foot shootout which is always fun on a very tricky parking lot type surface.


We ended up winning our class with the CD2 and coming in 3rd with CD1 and then my business partner also won his class with his Nitrous lenco Malibu wagon:

Well we finally got back out and on a VERY soft tune up (16* of timing and 23 psi) with the controller bringing boost in VERY slow it went 5.19@141 on the 275's. We won our local 275 race then we strapped the slicks on and went and had some fun in mexico lol.

We are very excited to get this thing back out on a good track and see what it can do!
