Trying for 12s in the 1/4 in my Mountaineer!

[mounty03]

Best time I had last summer was a 13.45 @ 99 mph. I was running 9psi with a precision 6176 turbo. I ventilated the stock block with 3 rods in September.

I have since replaced it with a street mod 800 shortblock from MMR. I also added an air/water intercooler to it. I am currently tuning it getting ready for the track to open again in spring. It's running about 12 psi right now with more boost to come later.

Here are some pics of it.

That's f'n awesome. That's all I got to say about that.

Holy crap!!! Looks great man. How much power are you putting down? Are you going to drop it a little with some wheels or go for the sleeper look? Keep up the great work and looking forward to some new vids.

 

[htrdlncn]

you should be solidly in the 12s

 

[X~FACTOR]

Awesome!!!

 

[97awdx]

Holy crap! :biggthump

From what I can tell it's AWD? Is it a stock T-case or has it been built?

 

[Curtis]

Im jealous...

 

[Turdle]

Ok, yeah. This is going to scream.

Where are you located?
Forgive the newbie question-
With the block studded for the heads, will you be able to install the heads with the block in the truck? Or will it need to be assembled, and pulled for head work?

Sick ride can't wait to see the pics and vids of this build. Great truck good work!!! I'm jealous

 

[Joey P]

What's the boost lag like being that the turbo is under the truck? Looks well done!

 

[ZO6_Vette]

Now that would piss me off!
As I am driving my Vette and you are keeping up with me.

Oh yea by the way did I mention you are nutz.

Nice ride

 

[Limited02]

Do you think you could post a speedo vid from say, 0-80? I can then make one of mine to compare the difference? Would like to see some in cab driving to see how the boost comes on.

 

[mounty03]

I'll try to get some video soon. There is no turbo lag at all. It starts making boost below 2000 rpm. I can get 6-7 psi boost on the launch. The boost comes on as fast as the Kenne Bell I have on my Cobra.

 

[kaylene]

See thats what am talking about!!!!!

 

[grkstl2]

beautiful!!!!

 

[mounty03]

Here is a quick video I took on the way to work this morning. It gives you an idea of how the boost comes on. I will get better videos once everything is tuned better.

This is one clean set-up I'm looking at. Good job on this one - I'm jealous.

 

[turbo cat]

Badass. Ive seen the thread over at TTF looks liek your turning it up a notch thats awesome

 

[jah81592]

Seen a bunch of Gen2's modded but it is nice to see someone get away from the norm. A gen3 rocks! Keep us posted.-j

 

[rocket 5979]

Nice setup. Glad to see other people modding the Gen3's. Are you running a built 5R tranny yet or still on the stocker?
