EvoX2NR's "SloPoke" build
First off, I would like to thank those that are helping and supporting the build:
STM
MAPerformance
Fast Freddie
Force-Fed Performance
JorgeYaHeard
Suprastar and his Shop Monkey garage
Last September I had an opportunity to trade my X for an apex silver 8. The motor needed to be replaced so we slapped another stock motor in the car, and got it ready to start it's progressive change to a sole purposed drag car.
In the beginning:
Bolt-ons-
Weight reduction:
The first step consisted of a IX turbo, Hoosier drag radials, and bolt-ons. The goal was to get it to the 10 second range. It took a lot longer than expected to accomplish the goal since the car went
the first night it was out. But, there were some unforeseen circumstances like the transmission needing a rebuild, and a few minor things like the track actually being too cold in Florida to hook decently.
Race car parts-
After finally getting used to driving the new TRE stage 3 trans (with the HKS 4.11) and Quartermaster 8 Leg clutch (Thanks to MAPerformance for their sponsorship) over the past two visits to the track, I was able to land a 10.89@127 pass! Unforunately, I blew a hole in my over-ported exhaust manifold I just put on the car (whoopsie), so I had to retire for the night.
Now that the 10 second barrier was reached, it is time to see how far we can go on a stock block. I have a local guy (George Freer) that I do some tuning for, and he just happens to be a pretty awesome fabricator from his pre-Navy career. The parts to build a FF 6262 kit are on order and should be all together just in time to have the car ready for Import Face-Off in West Palm at the end of the month.
JorgeYaHeard ported intake manifold, Buschur ported TB, and STM intake manifold spacer/gasket:
The next phase after the stock block will consist of the built motor and turning the wick up with a bigger turbo.
