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
