88gt 5.3 turbo car goes 10.55 first outing
what a awesome day today haha
we have this TBI 350 powered flatbed towtruck, and the motor was fuckin tired, as you might have seen in the last video hahah
anyway we just happened to have a 454 big block carbed motor sitting in the driveway, yes, in the driveway... so obrien racing LLC decided to install the big block in the towtruck, they slammed it in there super fast, and we put a regulator on the fuel feed and return and got the pressure down to 9psi for the stock quadrajet and got it fired etc, everything is great otehr than having to hotwire the pump to run when the key is on since we are really not using any of the tbi electronics.
so my buddy wires it up no fuse or nothing but does use a relay, well half way to the track, on a bridge... the wires melt lolol
so we used a jumper cable to power it enough to pull off the bridge, and we were following him in another car, so went to auto zone and got the wire and a fuse holder and wired it up and finished our trip to the dragstrip.
first pass in the car we decided why not footbrake nice and see how she does.
10.55 @ 133mph 1.7x 60ft 107 in the 8th. awesome, we are super pleased with this, considering we can turn up the boost a little and even spray it with nitrous if we really want to hahah.
the next two passes were off the trans brake but although they look great because of the squat you can also see the car fishtailing and spinning 1.8 60 and going 10.60 and 10.71 i think, ill be cutting and uploading the video shortly.
but i figured you would all enjoy the sloppy story.
he also knocked the rear view mirror off today on a launch

finished up the ventura and put it back on the road today
so we picked her up this afternoon after picking up my new fairmont, to
get the old girl running again...
ok after a short vacation, parked the ventura for a while, took the s475 for don's notch wich is what its primary use was for, and we stole some parts to finish the notch and my fairmont, and the oil pan was cracked and leaking...
we gave an oil pan to ackerman who did an AMAZING job shortening the oil pan.
top notch work from teh whack shack...
we bolted up the blown up mpt76 from coreys turbo truck with the hammered exhaust blades, welded a fitting almost shut for oil restriction... made a nice oil return line, drilled and tapped the new cut pan for oil return. connected the intercooler, welded up a new downpipe... WELDED BY CHRIS LEE RACING!
and threw in the 80lb injectors, fired her first time no issue, idled away, finished her up checked for leaks, removed a little oil from the car, overfilled a little with the smaller pan, and viola.
i took her out and drove to the gas station, man i missed this car.
