It is blowing through the converter. Come on guys!

Crazy fast! IMO..theres something odd with that slip. It seems that the car only picked up 22mph on the back end. How so?

Shakedown. You can obviously see the car blowing through the converter. Most vettes, even autos back half at least 30mph FI/Spray. That trap is very low for the power it makes, so it will get buttoned up I'm sure

Yes, this car has factory rear end/halfshafts.

This car is running AR 2in headers with no cats and factory GM Mufflers. When closed, the car sounds and drives like stock. Once you open the baffles it gets loud real quick!

We set this car up to show how Quick and Fast our Heads/Cam package would run at the track. It went a 10.6 @127mph naturally aspirated. The torque converter was built for motor only. We added the gas to be the first in the 9s. With the correct Nitrous converter(which we are building this week), the car is going to go WELL into the 9s!
