Christmas came early

[Triple Threat]

New goodies for the race car. This Chiseled Performance air to water intercooler and ice/water tank should decrease the air intake temperatures quite a bit. Some other changes are being made to the engine to make it stronger and more efficient.

Wow Santa really likes you. I take it your pushing for 7's

I life when people consider the words ' stronger ( I would use Robust )' and ' Efficient ' when modifying there already built car. It simply means they know what they are doing! Nice looking gifts for an early Christmas!

DAMN.....those are so purty I'd put 'em in the house for folks to admire!!:eek:;)

That would be very difficult with a 4000 lb. car.I would to see a 8.20 next season.

I agree,even wife liked the workmanship.That will make it a lot easier when she gets the credit card bill to pay.

Very nice. A good air to water setup will always beat air to air at the track.

Might be difficult, but i wouldn't bet against you getting done. :burnout:

[NTHE10s]

Very nice! Should help a lot.

I agree. I don't know what the current IATs were, but when I got my IATs down a 100* (from 150*-180* the whole pass to 50*-105* the whole pass) I picked up about 9-10% more WHP. Went from trapping 131 to trapping 139. I changed rear gears and exhaust turbine, but that would only be responsible for like 3ish MPH.

I know the best ET was 8.4, what was the best trap? I bet it picks up about .2 - .3 and 3-4mph.

[MOTOWN]

Very nice indeed!

At 8.4 the trap speed was 160 mph. We usually run between 162 and 165 with 3:89 gears.With all the changes being made to the engine and the lower IAT's it will allow us to increase timing.We could be looking at a increase of 200 to 300 RWHP.

You're on C16 right? I know it's not an apples to apples comparison (BBC vs LS), but I it's actually went faster with 1* less timing. LS heads are in a different world. I'm on 18psi and just 11* at that boost. I haven't gotten it on the dyno yet to see where is stops picking up, but I can't imagine mine will pick up much more. And on those two runs I was talking about (131mph vs 139mph), it was on the same boost, but the 139mph was on 1* less timing than the 131. LOL.

Yes,we use c-16.But our setup is with a blow thru carb.
