50* at the start and 80’s at the 1/4. That was only with 2-3 scoops of ice. If filled it will keep it in the 40-50* range. For comparison the stage 2 a2w as 180+ in the 1/8 mile.

That air to water seems to be the fucking answer. @Toy Cobra could you say roughly what IATs were at the line and at the end of the 1/4?

Alright, here's the update. Both headers are in.

This is how you have to do the passenger side:

• Loosen the ac compressor, all three bolts until one or two turns are left to create room for header to slide over top forward stud
• Remove both motor mount brackets, not the mounts themselves but the connection brackets, and tension the engine toward the driver side
• Remove all studs except for the two for the forward-most cylinder, replace all studs after sliding on header
• Floor jack needs to come in from the driver side if you're doing it on the shop floor
• Construct a wooden "block" out of some 2x4 and wood screws that fits in the groove of the jack head and has a small second piece to keep the main 2x4 from flipping sideways while lifted
• Don't lift the engine as far as you think you may need to
• Do not remove the battery or battery box, I did no work from up top, instead tightened the bolt above the ac lines from the wheel well with long extensions

do you happen to have any other pictures of the 2x4 fixture you made up for lifting the motor ?

thanks.

Installing headers on stands doesn’t sound very fun. Welding in such a small space…

I switched to Stainless Power 2" primary headers and didn't have a problem. Sometimes it's all about the design and quality.

Unfortunately I don't. You if you have access to an engine hoist, that works too.

I may pick one up from harbor freight .. but I really like your idea of the wood for lifting support. I still a couple months before we get some warmer weather here in Michigan before I attempt it.

First race of the year. Excellent outing with a couple back to back 7.80 passes. Still working the bugs out so there is more to come!

Congrats man. TW put together a decent ride and you put the touches on it to make it go really fast.

Let’s see some video of you running it out the back door!

Where are the centri and procharger supercharger doubters at?

You're doing big things, Toy Cobra

 

[NO1CARES]

Curious how fast that cage will take you? is it certified past 8.50?

They have left the chat! More importantly, Where's the 7 PSI ESS crew? LOL.
