uncle Timmy bought a E55 AMG and ran it today for fun, 11.9 @ 116mph!

threw the fairmont and dons notch on the dyno

Donovan swapped out his truck intake for a ls6 intake, picked up 40rwhp, then we bumped to 22lbs of boost and made 607rwhp, awesome.



I made a pull on 18lbs and made 585rwhp, we think the 706 heads on these 5.3s suck, so we are gunna try swapping out the heads on my fairmont and see if and how much it picks up.

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
