2nd Annual TYF Meet - Palm Beach International Raceway

Too funny! Nathan, that thing is a mess. Wouldn't it had been easier to pull the drivetrain and then blow it up with some tannerite? The interior is gross!

But yeah, I like the name! Fitting with what you found inside too!

Bahaha! Idk if even tannerite would have disposed of the dang thing! The fiancé said, “make sure you wear gloves” lol

@bigfootchiro do you have a link to your build thread?

Looks like you found it!

This is it! LOL

Haha it’s turning into that! Should have the drivetrain out this weekend, if everything goes as planned. I think we will be up and running by next weekend!

Alright y’all! Go check out the progress. I’ll update with more pics til she’s done and running by next weekend! I’ll take pics of the 0411 PCM swap, too, when I get that ordered in a few weeks, then it’ll be dyno tuned! We better start planning another meet here soon!

My kids and friends made a fort out of miscellaneous back yard stuff.

Here’s my new exhaust. Instant boost. Might get that 4.8 into the low numbers. Lol

Picture would help why it was funny.

[randeez]

[Onebad1983]

Sub'd for updates!

 

[randeez]

i will try to update am usually bad about it along the way.
im going to move battery to driverside tray, get the hotpipes and turbo in place, finish connection to exhaust, reroute the heater and ac lines and some wiring away from getting damaged.
that will give me some time to decide on intercooler and seeing what comes along, a2a is easy and works but im at the mercy of south florida ambient temps 90+ 8 months out of the year so i thought about trying a2w. i want to do a holley hi-ram with the 417 intercooler sandwiched - heard they have some issues living up to the hype though but love the look and i hardly find them come up for sale used. i know there are others but the one they claim is for 1500hp (thinnest one) will fit under the hood, have to cut a little bit of the cowl
wont be able to really stretch it out without more fuel though. stock pump/injectors are about max'd out on e85 right now.will only be able to get another 100hp or so out of it on 93.

I dunno. Palm Beach again or Orlando this time? The latter will take some more planning and require a hotel for me.

 

[bigfootchiro]

Orlando is closer to me, but I can always make the trip out to Palm Beach

 

[randeez]

i gotta see if mine will stay together for more than a week before breaking something else
