dang I figured you would be trapping more. our kb 2v would be a good race for you.

The number 1 and 2 quickest bolt-on 5.0s (stock long block no power adder) in the country (wbt and caspergt) (both autos btw!) run the 1/8th at around 6.95 and 99mph (10.78 and 10.87 in the qtr) with only around 450hp-460hp and weighing around 3500-3600 lbs with driver so you should be able to beat that with the HP you put out (I'm assuming well over 600 with what you have.)

Here's wbt's thread: CLICK HERE

Here's caspergt's thread: CLICK HERE

I would say you should be able to do low 10's or even a 9.90 in the qtr as Daniel Pachar down at TSS in Orange TX has a couple supercharged GT cars (non-Boss) with your type of mods running those numbers.

Yeah but those are max effort cars ie full drag suspension, removed sway bars, removed weight etc. this car is full weight plus a blower kit straight off the street with nothing more then a set of rear control arms... Definately a lot left in it on a better nite. 100+ temps hurt a blower car in every aspect. Not to mention he is in Abilene which at this time of the year I bet the da is 9000+!!!! I guarantee if he comes to the metroplex he picks up a bunch of et and mph!!

Nice times!!

I wasn't taking anything away from J.Shoots times as we all know TX is horrible in the summer.

Wbt is from San Antonio and his DA the day in the link was ~1400 so his day was not perfect. Wbt and CasperGT both have stock springs/struts/shocks. UCA and LCAs are their only suspension pieces except for the front sway bar removal. Wbt even has a roll cage in his weighing in at 75-100lbs.

You have more in it J.Shoots! Good luck!

Absolutely tx summers are the worst time to hit the track... Especially in his neck of the woods. Our fabricator at the shop is from there, said he would come to the metroplex and have to add over 10% to his entire be table to get it to even run worth a damn. Said he would pick up .3-.4 in et also!! Damn boosted cars haha

**Doug1227** · 07-23-2013, 05:31 PM

DA in Abilene TODAY was 4663 @ 3:45PM. That's definitely pretty shitty. I still figured it would run quicker as well. No insult.....

**Oxford14Stang** · 07-23-2013, 05:39 PM

Sweeet! Good numbers

One more thing to keep in mind is this is a procharger car with a air to air intercooler. So if you think, 100* out side temp, inter cooler after the burn out is 120-130* By the time you finish the race your at 140ish to 150ish IAT. Killing 3-5 degrees of timing worth 100+ rwhp. For all you air to water cars you don't have it quite as bad at the track. Procharger cars are much happier from a roll where air is running across the inter cooler,

Why buy a Procharger kit dynoing at 600hp then if you only see 500hp at a drag race track?

The kenne bell, and whipple cars will have less issue with the IAT since they are Air to water (takes more time to heat the water). With the air to water (kenne bell/whipple) they will not run as cool on the street like the Air to Air a procharger has. This is why you see a lot of turbo cars with Air to air if they are street cars but the race car Prochargers/Turbos run air to water with big coolers to pack ice in.

Prochargers will not see this much heat once the crazy 100*+ days are gone. Right not it does not take much time to heat up. Dare I say E-85 make a BIG Diffrence!!!!

Because not every person that buys a procharger, is going to drag race it.

Why do most people assume just because you are modifying your car that you are going to drag race it?

Where do Vortech/Paxton's fit?

**Yagermeister** · 07-23-2013, 09:20 PM

2 out of 3 Procharged cars I know of drag race hence why I asked the question. Where do Vortech/Paxton's fit as you posted examples of Procharger, KB, etc?

They will have same issue as long as they have air to air intecoolers. Most of these heat issue will disappear once we get back to 70-80* track nights

J.shoot. i come to san angelo once or twice a month and been wanting to check out that track. Maybe we can meet up there one day. Im def no match for you car but wouldnt mind the fun.
