Subject: 93 ragtop's new engine in action by rklessdriver on 2013/3/24 0:46:30 I know you guys remember the 385 LTX I built for 93 ragtop. We got quite a bit of hate PM's and some folks on the CF outright calling me a fibber about how much power it put down on the dyno... Well we took the car to MIR today for the test and tune to really give them something to talk about. Made 5 passes with Rich taking his time on the first 3 to get use to the new power plant. Made a great pass on the 4th one and the 5th pass dropped off a few tenths as he exp with shifting into 4th gear to pick up some MPH - which didn't work out. Best pass was #4, an 11.19@124mph with a 1.64 60ft. [URL=http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f303/rklessdriver/Rich/11-19_zps8c0d397e.mp4]  [/URL]Really pleased with the car and engine. My goal of making everything work well with his current drive line combo worked out great... but there is a little to be gained in the TQ converter IMO. Nobody gave him any grief about not having a roll bar (today) but honestly after we loosen up the TQ converter (in a few weeks) he's gonna be needing a roll cage, because I think his car has some easy 10 second passes in it.
