Jason Warren on a comeback
Just wanted to let everyone know that even though Jason Warren has been out if the picture for quite some time, we have something in the works....
Since the car has put down mid 9's a while ago and I know that updates havent been posted...here goes.
Last year we took the car to Clay City Ky 1/4 mile track and unfortunately the car decided to let the motor expire. The setup was the same as always...95 Z-28, 3450 race weight, 355 CI, 12:1 CR, LT-1 block and yes, some dont believe- but its still the stock nodular iron still in manufactured form GM crank, splayed caps, Factory PCM with LT-1 edit, Stage 3 LT-4 heads, TNT plate kit, solid roller cam, TH-400, Duals...etc. Anyways the car went a 6.14@112.5 with a 1.28 60 in the 1/8 that day on a 150 shot and started chugging white smoke ending in a 9.78@134. Been down since. To date the best this car has gone is 9.58@140 with a 1.28 60.
Since then, working alongside Trick Flow and Total Engine Airflow, we are pleased to announce the car is almost 100% back. Currently the car has a set of brand new Trick Flow BETA test heads on it, never before mass produced and brand new to the LT-1/LT-4 scene. The heads are dowel pinned for both LT applications. Were pretty excited so far... Flow figures are spectacular in CNC form with .500 lift at 300 CFM (IN) 246.9 (EX) and .700 peak at 321.6 CFM (IN) 260.2 (EX). These numbers are definitely something for the LT enthusiast to think about far as performance goes... As of now, the assembly is complete and we are in the process of working our way down to the local mustang dyno. Track times to soon follow.

Re: Jason Warren on a comeback
Sorry for the long delay on replying.. Ive got some pics to post:
The head is going to be referred to as the #305 casting, are unavailable yet to the gp, but Jason was fortunate to purchase them and has had Total Engine Airflow do the work thus far. (CNC, angle milled, bigger valves).
Were going to the dyno Friday 8/25 to make some motor and nitrous pulls. Details soon to follow. Hoping to get to the track real soon!

Re: Jason Warren on a comeback
What let go with the old combo and how much was he spraying? Also, I am curious to how he keeps the rear plugs from melting on the bigger shots as I have problems with melting the 2 back plugs (7,8) on anything over 200hp. Glad to see he got it back up and running!

Re: Jason Warren on a comeback
What plugs (heat range) are you using? Octane fuel? How much timing you taking out? Whats your nitrous/fuel ratio on the spray? Theres a few things that could be causing your problem..[/QUOTE]
I was running AC Delco R42LTS plugs at the time. I ran C10 unleaded in the tank and C16 in the 1 gallon cell. Took out 10 degrees of timing. The A/F ratio on the wideband was 10.3-1 so it was def rich. I am running a single fogger NX SHO nozzle rated to 400hp (although 250 is prob the limit). I only made it to the top of second gear and felt a surge so I let out. I pulled the pulgs and that is when I noticed 7 and 8 being extra lean but the rest of the plugs looked fine. I think it is just a fuel distribution problem wit hthe stock style intake. What intake was Jason running?

Re: Jason Warren on a comeback
We got back from the dyno, and here are the results:
Motor: 382 whp 389 rwtq
300 NOS: 644 whp 878 rwtq
At first the hp numbers seemed a little off, but we were comparing them to the last time the car was on the dyno-which was a dynojet. We put her on a Mustang dyno this time, and typically dynojet will register 8-15% higher. We also tried to tune a little, but Jason wanted to get out of there due to the 100/hr price tag-so we think shes got some more left yet.
I like the Mustang dyno because it allows the drum to produce resistance based on the cars weight (simulating the engine pushing the car going down the track, road etc)
Hoping to make it to the track real soon!!
Were very pleased, especially with the torque number...134 more ft-lbs than before-should be very interesting at the track!
