The engine is sponsored by Mohawk Racing and is an LSX block, Dart 4-inch crank, 434 cubic-inch (12.5:1), with R7R Aluminum Rods, Diamond 4.155-inch bore pistons, RHS LS7 291CC heads, PAC springs, Crower rocker arms, Spec Comp billet camshaft, and Holley Smart Coils, fed by a CID LS7 EFI Intake, Wilson 2350 CFM Throttle Body and, of course, juice from Nitrous Outlet.
With 3-degrees of total timing and 700 psi bottle pressure, the car completed a 5.01 ⅛-mile at 138.27 mph with a stunning 1.12 60-foot time on radial tires. Unfortunately, traction issues resulted in being eliminated during the first round of eliminations again. David says he will not attend another event until he has successfully made some fast passes under full power.
Orange Juice is searching for good, sticky, fast passes in the future.
Dave describes his 10-year long love/hate passion project as a marriage.
Orange Juice is a car he has owned longer than any other in his lifetime, and it was a car he purchased over the phone from an ad in Racing Junk back in 2009. Now it is a beautiful F-body with tons of potential and power. With some more R&D and seat time, we should see an orange blur barreling down the track while sucking down massive amounts of nitrous from Nitrous Outlet in the near future.
