Background:
When I bought the car it was in bone stock form, with a Paxton SN-92. This car with street tires would run 8.90's in the eight mile. From this point I decided to change a couple of things, to up the power level. I decided to change the cam and Intake. This would turn out to be a disaster. I paid a guy to install the cam and intake, but when he was scraping off the gasket from the timing chain cover, some fell into the oil pan. I arrived to pick up the car and take it for a test drive and I did not get a mile and the motor started knocking!! I looked down and I had no oil pressure.  I had the car towed home trying to minimize the damage that had occurred to the bottom end of the motor. The next weekend I tore the motor down and was able to scrape a handful for blue timing cover gasket off of the oil pickup. Spun all but one bearing. From this point I decided if I wanted something done right, I better do it myself.

The car sat for a couple of months while I was deciding how I wanted to fix the car. I decided to build a 347. Drew Davis from Rotating Dynamic was called on to build the motor. After about 5 months I had the motor back in the car and ready to take it back to the drag strip. During the down time, I upgrade most of the suspension and ignition system. My first run down the drag strip on Nitto drag tires I run a 7.90 @ 83 mph. A couple months past and I took the car down to Rockingham dragway in North Carolina and ended up running a best of 12.10 @ 116 with a 1.8 60 foot time.

Once winter came back around, I decide to sell the SN-92 and actual put the boost friendly pistons to work. I installed a Kenne Bell Blowzilla with a 12 pound pulley. I will not lie, I was amazed by the torque and power that this supercharger generated but with most superchargers I ran into detonation issues and would never get the Kenne Bell to run like it was supposed too. So off came the KB. I call HP performance and talked with there staff and they put me into a stage1 turbo kit. I got this turbo right before everyone started ordering them, so it only took about 2 months for me to receive the kit. I installed the kit and had the exhaust reworked. I can not describe how much more power I had with the turbo and that was with 8 pounds of boost!! With no tuning I took the car to the local 8th mile drag strip. I did not plan to drag the car but I got persuaded to make a pass. I had my street tires on at the time. I left the line easy and got into it, it spun through 1st, second and finally caught traction n third gear. I ended up running an 8.30 @ 102 mph.

I know I was generating a good amount of power and decided it was time to take the car and get it dyno tuned. I called up Randy Haywood @ Haywood Speed shop and he was eager to start tuning. I pulled the car on the Dyno and made the first pull. With no tuning, not even a chip in the car, the car made 565 Hp and 632 TRQ @ 4200 RPM's. I was amazed and then pissed because the reason Randy had stopped the pull was due to me running out of Fuel. So I drove the car 2 hours back home and let the car sit until I could gather enough money to upgrade my fuel system. I bought a complete Aeromotive Kit and 60 pound injectors. I once again drove the car back down to Haywood Speed shop to finish the Tune. This time the car would take about 17 pulls to get it right. To save the stock Block, we de-tuned the car and locked out the total timing @ 18 degrees. Showing 8 PSI and 18 degrees of total timing, the car made 542 HP and 610 TRQ. I was happy with that and drove the car home. Since that time I have made a couple trips to the drag strip, the best time I have ran is a 6.90 @102 with a 1.59 60 foot. I will never own another belt driven power adder again!!! Thanks for the opportunity to be featured on such a great website.
