Since I've had a bit of motivation lately I thought I'd let you all know what I've been up to.
I haven't been to the track or worked on the Bird since 2007. As things are now it has run 12.4x @ 112 and has run 12.25 @ 115.9 with n2o and an A237 cam.

The combo as it sits today...
88 TC
Subframe connectors, MM lowers, CHE double adj uppers, Bolt in torque box reinforcements, Manual brakes, Weld Draglites, Stock interior
stock block + 0.030 Diamond pistons, Crower rods
stock head with bowl work / 1.89, 1.59 valves
Essy 2277 cam
Square lower intake + 3.5" tube upper & 65mm TB
Large NPR intercooler
40BOB Log manifold
SC60 / 60-1 T3 turbo with internal gate
3" exhaust with cutout open
engine management: MS1 V3, LC-1, Mallory 685
a/f ratio, total timing, boost: 11.6 / 23* / 22#
flywheel: Stock
clutch: Spec stage 3, 6 puck
transmission: T5, Stock
rear/ratio/tire type/tire size: 8.8 / 4.56 / Spool / 28" ET Streets
race weight without driver: 3250 + 170
under the hood
body shot
There's been alot of parts gathered up in the last few years. I'm finally getting around to putting them to use.
Assembled the Liberty Proshifted T5 that's been sitting in pieces on the bench since 2007.
input shaft
main shaft
Picked up a used aluminum flywheel also.
Got a stage 3 cam from Bo at Boport and some solid lifters from ebay. Found a good stock head in the garage and started getting it ready. Will run it with stock valves.
chamber rough-in
exhaust port
intake port
I'll be trying a Holset H1E. It's an 8 blade 58mm? with a T4 split scroll 21mm exhaust housing. I have a feeling I may need a different turbo, but will stick with a T4 split scroll.
pic later!
I'm going to try making a header and have a box of 1-1/2 od mild steel bends and some flanges. Will start on it after the head is ready for the machine shop and the 220V outlet is installed in the garage for the Miller Dynasty 200 tig welder I picked up to help with fabricating stuff.
The plan is to have it on the road before the tracks close. Might even try my hand at paint and a roll cage if I get the urge.
