[@dieselapegarage]

Nice u had that thing moving took off like a plane keep it coming nice watching an learning 👀🍿💪

[@DAPerform]

Thanks!

[@Anarchy-Is-Liberty]

Need to restrict so much oil going to the heads. The thing is flyin', love it! I remember my 8.90 Vega in the 80's, had so much fun with that thing! Great video, keep 'em coming!

[@DAPerform]

Just needed an extra quart and we’re back to stable oil pressure. Thanks for watching!

Good work

Thank you!

Car is moving!!! 🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@DAPerform]

It did pretty good!

[@davecolquhoun9315]

Hi, What are you using and where is the sensor located for the coolant pressure? And why is it worth monitoring, what is the reason . Thanks

[@DAPerform]

Coolant pressure is a great value to monitor because it will in most cases indicate whether there is a problem with cylinder compression leaking into your water jacket. That can happen multiple ways like head gaskets or a cracked sleeve or head. If you go back to the dyno video you will see that on the dyno we had a problem with coolant pressure as it was rising very quickly with any type of boost we put through the engine causing the cooling system to pressurize to over 40psi which is not good

[@diygaragetx]

I'd be more worried about that oil pressure dropping off so bad. is it a Dart block by chance?

[@DAPerform]

Stock block 5.3. Running a stock fbody oil pan and seems like during the high G’s its oil sloshing. Put another quart in it and it didn’t fall the next pass

[@diygaragetx]

@@DAPerform my old 5.3 did something similar, but it went 1.07-1.12 pretty regular.

[@DAPerform]

@@diygaragetx it’s also a stock pump with shims in it so maybe a it just needs more volume to keep up

[@Justin-g5k2i]

Whats your opinion on the leash boards and not being able to replace the relays

[@DAPerform]

I supposed it’s a slight inconvenience but I would still choose the leash board over other relay boards

[@Justin-g5k2i]

@@DAPerform 👍 , thanks for the advice

[@NastyZ28-MY2NDAMD]

Great vid and info but dang, did you see how the oil pressure falls off. Did you do the barbell upgrade? What is the combo? I have same car and working on going from NA 6.0 to turbo 6.0.

[@DAPerform]

Yeah it drops into the low 20’s but came back after the shift, I added another quart and fixed the problem. It’s a simple build big cam, gen 4 rods stock crank forged pistons

[@75zl1]

@@DAPerform out of curiosity for possible future upgrades, what turbo is that?

[@DAPerform]

@@75zl1 it’s a bs racing 7875 turbo

[@75zl1]

@@DAPerform that's exactly what I've been looking at. Sweet!

[@leonardfoster6252]

What was your best mph in the 1/8th?

[@DAPerform]

124.5 I believe that was a 5.60 1/8th and a 1.29 60’

[@shanef9358]

are you worried about oil pressure dropping into the 20s?

[@DAPerform]

Oh definitely. I added a quart of oil and the pressure didn’t drop again

[@v8tergt653]

Nice and informative video!! Car is sick!! New to the channel, whats the engine combo if you dont mind sharing?

[@DAPerform]

It’s pretty run of the mill, good camshaft, stock crank, gen 4 rods, pistons big Intercooler and a tiny turbo lol put down 751 at 19lbs

What no beadlocks? You better not let the new Mustang camero and challenger guys know that they don’t need beadlocks to run 11s lol

[@DAPerform]

Haha god forbid they don’t need them lol. We are slipping the tire a few inches each track outing unfortunately

[@leonardfoster6252]

What rear gear are you running?

[@DAPerform]

3:70 rear gear

[@leonardfoster6252]

@@DAPerform Your car should run faster in the 1/8th with a 4.86 gear and might pickup the 60 ft. times. Your motor is making some HP for being a heavy car...

[@DAPerform]

@@leonardfoster6252 it would definitely pick up with a taller rear but we would be limited to 1/8th mile. It’s making some steam for sure, if I had to guess it’s touching 900 to the tire

[@88_turbo_fox73]

Feels good to build something with your own hands and have it run an 8 doesn't it lol

[@DAPerform]

One of the best feelings ever. Thats was just a fun pass too I went even faster then next 2 passes

[@leonardfoster6252]

Also, if the angle on the bars are too hogh at the front it will cause the car to wheelie too much...

[@DAPerform]

What bars are you referring to ?

[@scottmclean-dg4zk]

nice job man she is haulin ass

We’re chipping away at it!

Z28? That looks like a 78 LT.

It’s the Z2H8

[@vinmandich7756]

Did he just say lucky we don't try have alot of electronic to run when the car is using fuel injection with a standalone and pump plus water say nomore

It sounds like a lot but it’s really not that much draw from the battery per run

I know your car is heavy keeping it from running so fast.
