Dang if one of these silicon Mishimoto hoses blows off I'll be mad, I might even give them a check over now that you put that bad juju on me.

TBH a 14.7 wouldn't hurt my feelings a bit I think they run a pathetic 16.2 from the factory.

 

Or the serpentine belt shreds cx

 

Not sure how old that **** is so it's a possibility.

 

last pass on Penny blew one of the firewall heater core fittings apart.
and i thunk about calling you when i was in orlando a couple weeks ago... but the whole family was there, and 4 days of Disney had us all smoked.

 

What did Penny run?

I have been meaning to finish tidying up those metal Ts I got, too many worm clamps look messy.

You should have I but I hate kids so maybe not. Did you drive down or fly?

 

flew to TN, then drove with my folks... so we were in their truck & didn't have much spare time.

Penny ran better & better over the years, though i've only got slips from two nights.

• Apr 2010 (spring after the engine swap) in Valdosta = 2.45 60'; 10.30 @ 68mph (1/8); 15.89 @ 90mph (1/4)
  • 31" Michelins, stock LM7, terrible shifting, shocks were trash
• May 2011 at Emrald Coast = 2.11 60'; 9.67 @ 70mph (1/8)
  • added headers + launched/shifted better

Willing to estimate based on the cam, gears, and 1 less shift (even with the 33s on lighter wheels), i could've taken at least .69 off the 1/8 had i took it back to the strip in the last few years.

 

That’s pretty respectable I know those nv3500s hated the high rpm third gear shift, I remember I couldn’t get mine into third even once out of the 3 or 4 passes I made with it. Id just like to guesstimate the power based on ET and have a number to throw around even if it runs a 15 I guess I don’t really care because it’s fun.

Im sure you will be back to Disney with the kiddos eventually!

 

If all you want is a number, take it to a dyno day and pay $40, get your number and nothing will break. Maybe 😂

 

Lmfao find me a $40 dyno! I’ve called a dozen places and only found one that would let me run an suv and it’s $200 an hour minimum one hour and they are only open during my work hours.

 

Ok that might be for a solo session and/or with tuning. Even still, 200 is cheaper than putting a valve thru a head again or breaking a ujoint again 😂. Nothing about a dyno has anything to do with the vehicle type. My Tahoe has been on 3 different dynos in the Albuquerque area.

BUT, I clearly said DYNO DAY. Aka a tuning shop's way of drumming up business. They have them every so often and about eleventeenhundred ppl show up all willing to pay $40 (2 20's, price is what it is for a reason) to see how much power their **** box makes

Which is exactly what you need 😉
