Anyone else going? I'll be there set on kill to run the GS300 at Bradenton. My car should be flying deep into the 9's at this meet. We just got done building the motor with 10:1 pistons and a larger 7175 turbo. I expect to to break 1000RWHP through the TH400. My GS will now be making 200+ more RWHP than it did when I went 10.2 @ 138

That's what I hear, my tuner Darin Dichara tells me it's the best turbo for a street car. I think the Lexus will be in the 8's once I install slicks and skinnies.

The 7175 is GREAT choice indeed. I run the older CEA 71 and still love it to this day & it's been 4 yrs later since it's debut. Good luck to you out there & Darin is a GREAT tuner, especially when there's 1st hand track experience invloved with him. Matter of fact his old sold car just went mid 8's, his tune (6spd, possibly 3/4th fastest worldwide) !

Are you spraying ? Interested in seeing the 1KWHP mark thru the Th400 setup. I'm guessing E85 and certainly the 10:1 helps

Wish I could have made ir down there

Yea Darin is really good at what he does, I used to own a performance shop / dyno so I know to expect and he is by far the best guy I have met for fabrication / tuning / knowledge.

Yes I spray 100 shot to get the car going out of the hole and then it shuts off at 18 psi with the Motec. Now with a built motor I'll probably spray it all the way through the run. Yes E85.

Congrats man. Sounds like it will be a blast. Be sure to get some good videos posted.
Are you still going to make it down to TX2k14? Hopefully I will have my 4L80E in the car by then.

Also, how are you running into the deep 9's or even the 10's without them making you have a full cage in the car? Are FL drag strips not as strict? lol

florida drag strips are just as strict.. need a 5 point in the 11s i believe... but on private track rentals its a diff story, and also they usually give you a warning so if your first pass you go 9s and they see no cage they tell you next time you get kicked out. so you got 2 runs right there lol

From what I hear we will be ok at Bradenton. I think you guys are going to see plenty of video of the car as 1320 video and grab a lane will be out in force. I plan on having some fun on the streets and the track.
