So 650 at the wheels or so and a few hundred lbs in weight reduction, killer converter equals 9.4l0s. I hope I have that good DA this weekend and looks like temps in the high 50s which could get me into the 9.20s and 150 mph. Hope those 305s will hook like yours did. What kind of air pressures were you running? I usually run 19-20 psi.

This is awesome man, way to represent for the 6th gens. I know TS has a badass 9.8 HC SBE ss m6, but it'd be really cool to see what a manual on your gpi set up can do, not hating on the TS car just curious to see what it would do.

On a side note, I'd love to see your YouTube channel take off like Stangmode or something like that so you could take some of those guys to Gapplebees lol.

There is just so much cost in switching over to a Turbo Trans, Glide when you can have Steven Rankin build a killer A8, throw a wicked Circle D in it and launch in 1st or 2nd. I know our Magnuson Camaro was very expensive to switch and you've ruined the car forever in my opinion and basically its a drag car then.

Yea I agree...Not to mention we have not seen nor heard much of anything on the Magnuson Camaro since the 400 swap. Is it still not right?

Our car hasn't been out in a while as we have so many new blowers coming out no one has time to run the car. Not only did we do the T400 swap but also did the 9" MW GForce conversion for the rear. I couldn't begin to tell the cost but somewhere upwards of 16-18k or so would be my guess just between the bell housing to the diff including suspension and that's probably just in parts. Who know how much labor by our employees but its a lot. The car is awesome but its just sitting there wanting someone to load it and race it. Don't think that will happen for a while.

Thats pretty disappointing to hear about the TS car, I had actually forgotten they had beaten their 9.8 time that Cleetus ran and actually hit s 9.6 when it was still an m6. 9.5 is good but nowhere near as impressive as that 9.6 with an m6 trans imo.

Mike Swanson just went 8.72@156 with our Magnuson 2650 Heartbreaker, he's running a Steven Rankin A8 and launching in 2nd gear and its holding up just fine at a 1070 rwhp. Probably has at least 30 passes now plus a lot of dyno time. That's way cheaper then swapping and he can still enjoy all the cruising by just switching a pulley/belt and retuning and go out on the highway and run 80 mph at 1800 rpms, try that with a Turbo 350.
