I think the Magnuson 2300 has some pretty stellar numbers for those who wonder how it performs. A couple months ago I posted 703 rwhp and figured I could get into the low 10s or possibly break into the 9s. I was so close but there is still more in the package. Yes I'm pushing the envelope as others have done. I run as stock engine, 2300 Maggie, Vp 109 with an AEM Meth/water kit, 75mm pulley. Stock suspension and exhaust, added a RPM Roll Bar which is 30 lbs more the my last years stock set up. I run a stock tranny, stock converter, stock tranny tune plus I have a light weight drag pack Hoosier Slicks/Skinnies and Race Star wheels. I do have the Lingenfelter Big Bore Pump and Lt4 injectors. If I hadn't spun the tires pretty badly on my first pass on Saturday I think I'd been mid 9.90s but ended up with a 10.03@138 which is in my opinion just wicked. You guys have watched my progress and I owe a lot of my great numbers to Mike from Magnuson who tunes the car and I'm pretty sure we will make our 9 second pass this coming weekend. If for some reason I don't I'll still be kinda happy with a 10.03. Na I won't be so I'll keep pushing till it happens.

Fantastic.

It's been informative and good reading following you along on your build.
Keep it up. I want to see that 9.90ish...

My kids are looking forward to coming out to watch you next weekend...getting in the 9's.

Back in the 80's it took a killer stroker small block on alcohol, 2550 lb car and I was 30 lbs lighter also to run 9's and I was proud of that build and I've practically done that with a 3900 lb car with me in it with nice interior, can drive it on the street and get 25 mpg on the highway. My Nova was a true drag car you couldn't drive on the street, no AC, no electric windows, rattled like a Mofo from the aluminum interior and only shifted once (powerglide) and this one shifts 5 times. What a long way we've come and I raced some of those same cars at the track, actually I was the only car in Superpro/Pro over 3500 lbs. Most were in the 2200 to 3000 lbs. So, these are pretty cool cars with the right stuff under the hood. I like the new stuff and the old stuff but I wouldn't have it any other way and I can't wait till I get my hands on the 2650 one of these days knowing this 2300 will put down 1000 hp if I choose to take that plunge. Pretty cool I'd say so Magnuson has their stuff together and glad to be a part of Team Magnuson. Lots of competition for sure but most take lots of mods to get there.

Badass! Happen to have a video?

I will post the video and the time slip, just have to load the dam thing on YouTube and my Photobucket.

[PRAY]

You guys had cars way back in the 80's. LOL.

Great work man. We all know you will grind out a 9 one way or the other.

[laynlo15]

I will and won't give up till I do, I have my eye set on 9.80 with bone stock motor. We shall see.

138 for 703whp is awesome!!!

Thanks, I think I should see close to 140 this weekend. Hopefully, temps are only gonna be 61 so my first run should be in the mid 50s
