J/P. Cage looks hells sick. I've been tossing around the idea of doing an older sedan as well. Seen them in the 4-digit range now. I think we'll start seeing more serious sedan builds too in the near future, as they're the cheapest format w/ a rwd vq in them.

In for some "street results" w/ the trans (Texas mile perhaps?) and of course some low 9's. Props as usual Lar, Chris, Tim and techs. One-uppmanship at it's finest.

Doubt you'll see too many th400's in a mile...unless you can rev to like 13K rpm lol. Just not enough gearing in the trans for that long.....although you could probably get to 165mph by the 1/2mile (on a street'ish tire) and try to just sit there for another 1/2 mile lol.

damn how did i miss this? vlads setup is gonna be insane. gonna need a ride in that soon lol. is it gonna be ready by the next chicago meet?

 

depends on when the first true meet of the season is

 

Put a Gear Vendors overdrive unit on the tail housing!!!!

 

I know the supra boys never had much luck with OD's on the th400...

Think high rpms are the weak point of that but not positive....maybe they've reworked them nowadays to handle the rpm.

I was joking about the Texas Mile, because it would be a true test of the validity of a TH trans being a true "streetable" trans.

HOLY KAKA!

 

We build some pretty sick cars here at SP, don't we

 

WTF is that under the hood? It looks like it can power a B-52!!!

 

Chris weren't you running that 80mm freak at the time.......

6in piping from turbo looks pretty menacing.

OMG that is going to be crazy...

Awesome to see another sedan getting some crazy power!

 

Lar,

I've seen you guys run the 6" piping to the turbo on several 2j based cars, while the great majority of the other guys out there just run a screen mesh. Other than potentially prohibiting contamination, is there another reason why you don't run just a mesh over the turbo?

D

 

I run the pipe down to where the stock IC used to be and draw cool air through that area instead of hot air from engine compartment.

Plus it looks sick the way I do it. Most guys are not as talented as I am and cant work with 6" pipe like I can

 

Lar,

I will agree with you on the "sickness" factor of the 6" piping. It looks very aggressive. I wonder, however, how much it actually affects intake temps on track-only based cars (I don't see Titan, Saad, SW, Ryan etc) running anything but a screen.

Larry likes to handle the 6" pipe!! hahaha j/k

 

I was waiting for someone to make teh ghey reference!

 

When you have been married for 14 years..... what else can u do??

 

 

How exactly does the positrack on a plymouth work? It just does....
