Thanks for all of the replies.

Daft question, but how does it handle with the Jeep front axel?

Also what's the plans for the car? Just a project or are you going to take it to the track? The LS guys have been complaining for a while about putting power down in roll races. Maybe you have the answer (although not sure if the jeep axel can take it)?
Its handles good with the Jeep axle. The original suspension/steering was so bad the Jeep is actually an improvement. Im going to take it to the track but my original intention was to build something that will work good on the street.

It is working better now with the cold side pipes staying on!

That video is 10psi and mediocre timing so not a whole lot of power. It starts off around 11psi when I let off the brake and spins up until about 5mph then hooks good and goes. It seems like if it would hook good on this level it would be right around 2.9-3.0s 0-60 according to my vbox. Im hoping with new drag radials on all four wheels it will go in the low 2 second range 0-60 on 15psi.

Thanks for watching!

Brilliant stuff, very jealous of some of the car culture in the US but mostly the wide use of V8s smile

Thanks!

Got my 2.9 0-60 on my vbox, 2.6 by some magazines standards! Looking forward to some better tires and a good road.
