Shipping the converter out to get it loosened up. Flashes at 4600 on the hit but it rolls over really hard, also dropping 1500 rpm on the shift but Id like it closer to 6-800rpm.

Well the last time I raced the Van at the track was last Years SDAC. I did drive it around and had a few street encounters but I broke an axle and forgot to put trans fluid back in after swapping the...
Added a Precision Performance Products shifter with an air solenoid. The plan is to use my CO2 to shift and add some torque management in to speed up shifts and keep the trans happy since it wont be...
Thanks everyone, im happy with the way it turned out. Ready to see it after body worked!!

One of the main body mods I wanted to do to the van was remove the rear bumper and have a roll pan made. Well last week I did just that.
I dropped the van off at a local shop that does custom...
Appreciate it man. I love competition it gets boring when things are stagnant.

Had a chance to go do a local drag and drive event, the van made a flawless roughly 300 mile trip with me and three buddies. Ended up getting a weight before the first pass and she weighed in a 3190...
Got the trans back together and everything seems to be holding up well.
Hit the dyno yesterday and laid down 509/434 on 27psi.
The yellow number isnt at peak, still waiting on dyno graphs.

They work very well, tons of people using them on their daily drivers, drag week vehicles, and 6 second 1/4 mile cars. Also been times were a few peoples chutes didnt open and these brakes stopped...
Rear Brakes
Since I picked the van up I knew I wanted to ditch the drums in the rear and get some discs installed. Not only for better braking and aesthetics but to reduce some weight. Willwood,...
Thanks Cordes
I think with the upgrades im doing that I should be able to make the trans last, or at least Im hoping so. The motor is built to handle 40+ psi so if we already went 11's on 24 but...
Hey Warren,
I havent added the pressure dump to the VB because it doesnt take much adjustment from all the way out to get the pressure to 150, maybe a 1/4-1/2 a turn and I havent had any issues in...
My Record Breaking Run.
Nov 5, 2022.. I attended Streetcar Takeover at Thundervalley, in Noble, Oklahoma. I didnt plan on racing but I wanted to get some testing in. I had issues with killing...
Transmission build...
For the trans I stuck with the Automatic that came in it. Boy has this thing given me hell.
When I first got the van going with the upgraded parts on the engine, I...
Thanks Warren, that means alot coming from you!!
Fuel system.
Currently im using the stock tank with the stock baffle. I relocated the return line into the front if the tank with a line that goes to the bottom of the tank. I did this to help...
Yessir, really hoping to get it to SDAC and race these other vans. I broke the record a few weeks after Wayne, then Jason and Tommy broke the record a few weeks after me, so there should be some good...
Thanks, I like to think its more the combination. I will say that with the stock motor and compression it would come in around 4k even with the ported head. Once I got the built bottom end and bumped...
I'd like to think I am a pretty solid tuner, but after looking at the MP Tune stuff I felt it was going to take more effort and time to learn this program than it would to just swap over to a...
Thanks Wayne, I really am hoping to make SDAC in 2023, and possibly do some other drag and drives other than what has been around here. Looking forward to meeting a few of you guys in person. I...
A local shop has done all my fabricating for me on other vehicles so I knew this was going to be no exception, plus he likes the oddball stuff so it was a good fit. I dropped the van off to Josh at...
Yessir, I appreciate the kind words. More to come, it just takes time to get it all typed out and find the pics through the 1,000's on my phone

Im real big on camshafts and I didnt really like what was available. I got in touch with Geoff at Colt cams and found that he had one blank left. I jumped on it and gave him the specs I wanted.

Short block was built by a local shop Brand Racing Engines. He does alot of work with the street outlaw guys and used to be big into the Ford 2.3's.
Block was half filled

I knew I wanted to get the van lower so I got with Rich Bryant and ordered a set of his BC coilovers for the front. In the rear we copied Fastasleep and built a new axle. Shocks on the rear were...
