Got a great deal on standard Vortech SQ-2 unit (satin finish) on another forum. Install date is set for Nov. 7 at ST Motorsports.

I've also gone ahead and ordered the Paxton air to air intercooler w/3.33 Pulley, KB BAP, HT0 plugs, Autometer Ultralite gauges (boost/vac, wideband A/F, & fuel pressure), SOS pillar guage pod, and for good measure some new shoes 18x9/18x10 anthracite bullits w/ Nitto 555's 255/45/18 and 285/40/18 (Due to arrive Wednesday).

I've currently got the head unit and MAF housing at the platers for polishing. Also took some of the brackets to the powdercoater. I'll post some pics once they're back.

Can't wait Leo. I think you'll be happy with the choice. Get ready to update your sig with new numbers, with ST Motorsports power under the hood you'll be a terror on the strip

Also really interested to see how the look coming back from the platers.

Oh great choice of tires, if I do say so myself.

Awesome man, you're going to have a blast!

Congrats, Leo!

Does this mean you'll be coming after my *** at the track, now?

LEO_06GT

Wonder why you like the choice of rims and tires.

I'll definitely try although I don't think your title of S197 Topdog at Barona or Qualcomm are in any danger.

habu

If so there had better be a vid of you spanking him. don't let him get too cocky.

don_w

You never know.

Seriously, I'm thinking this should get you solidly in the 7s. Do you have a particular ET in mind you want to hit?


Oh, you know it!! If I can get him to line up against me, we'll get the beat down on video!


Let the trashtalking begin... hahaha

LEO_06GT

I'd like to get a 7.6 since according to all the conversion charts that equals an 11sec pass in the 1/4. That's probably wishful thinking though. Adam's already said that it wasn't likely.

don_w

Pffftttt... what does Adam know?

Well, I'd sure like to see you go 7.6... that would be cool! Make sure you get out to Barona this winter, and catch one of those rare good air days. It could happen!

LEO_06GT

I was meaning to ask why the hell does Barona only have two days scheduled in Nov and about 2 or 3 in Dec? You'd figure that's the best time to run. During the summer they were open every week.

don_w

Actually, the best air is between January and April. That's when we've had our best runs.

And until today, they had nothing scheduled in November (except a Jr Dragster event). Now they added a Friday event on 11/7. Screw the Q... I'm going to Barona that night.

LEO_06GT

That's sucks I'll be getting my blower installed that day.

habu

Get it installed and shoot down to Barona

Better late than never, right ??

I might have to find a way to get 1/2 day and come on down. I gotta do something to improve my time, 8.3 is pathetic

GrnT

Cant wait to see the final product Leo. Sreamin Black Stang.

tom281

Congrats Leo, long time coming....... glad to see you finally caved in to the pressure.

LEO_06GT

Yeah you do.

SONICBOOST

Dam thats awesome!!!!!! You will be thrilled!!! Nice choice of accessories to go with the blower I must say. Do you have any numbers in mind you want to hit with the blower? Nov .7 is close, let the build up of nerves and excitment begin!!!

LEO_06GT

After talking with Adam and telling him that I'm concerned with things breaking he said my best bet would be to stay at 420RWHP. That probably won't get me an 11 second pass but maybe later on down the road if I have money I'll go forged internals and go ***** out.

SONICBOOST

I'm right there at 430rwhp and it's definently still fun...
