looking real good, Craftsmanship on those headers is awesome

Phil @ Hoffman Steel did an amazing job on these headers. They look even better in person.

Make sure the exhaust is far enough back at the exit. 1ft min from the passengers and rear facing per rule book. Don't want something simple not passing tech. Can't wait to race you this year.

Phil does awesome work. Headers came out pretty sweet for a guy that doesn't build headers everyday.

Keep your head down and in the game. Get this done so we can have some fun! Looking great!

She is starting to look like a race car again. Still need to plumb the brakes, steering, radiator and finish wire the dash to get it ready for this Thursday’s dyno appointment.

Everything went good on the dyno today. 328 HP, 316 FT-LB of torque @ the rear wheels and 112mph.

We hope to be able to keep from getting lapped on race day.

What are you guessing your parasitic loss is 40%? Looking like 550hp at crank! :mad3:
Nice!

That's more HP than Randy Slawsons new Motor.. and you have an LS1

Chris @ CBM dyno'd it and said the motor should be putting out mid 400 HP wich calculates out to more like 25%. Randy dyno'd the same day with more motor and got less HP readings. At this point I am not sure how much I trust the readings Randy or I got yesterday.

You also have smaller tires right? Those are much easier to turn.

I have a mildly built LQ4 that puts down 290hp to tires. We are thinking it is 480hp to crank. That is through a 4L60E,Atlas 3-1, Rock Jock 60. Problem is race ready Jeep WAS 5400lbs. She has been on a diet for a few months.
See you on the Lakebed.

Dynos are for tuning. Unless your comparing motors and numbers on the same dyno, than number mean nothing.

Sounds good Brandon. Get it together. You've got 9 days.
