Well finally was able to go out and do some testing , Learned a few new things tonight got a few great video's in HD which we will upload to You Tube tomorrow .
Well here's what happened. PBIR is 110 miles one way , the day was beautiful today , Changed out the plugs gaped at .022 , changed the oil looked great , lifted the front ride height a little b/c the car was just a bit too low up front , now it has a 1/2" rake but the suspension should work better .
On the way to the track there was a thunder storm off the exit to the track didn't look like it was going to happen , and I was pissed. Pulled into the track wasn't raining but humid as hell and it was raining around the track so we waited and everything worked out , few cars showed up and we were able to make alot of passes if we wanted .
My 1st pass I dropped the 2 step to 3700 rpm saw 9 psi's on the gauge but I think I must have triggered the light when I hit the tb.
The ticket said my 60ft was a 4.1 which was impossible so my et read 12.67 @ 137.12 ran 105.18 in the 8th . This was at 20 psi's
I told my crew there's no way that was a 12 sec pass. Made a quick change to the 2 step and raised it back to 4000 rpms and got back in line.
2nd pass reads like this :
60ft ................. 1.403
330 ................. 4.076
1/8th ................ 6.325
MPH .................. 105.78
1000 .................. 8.269
1/4 .................. 9.909
MPH .................. 137.33
When I looked at the datalog saw that the IAT were at 154* which pulled timing and in the back half I ended up with 10* of timing , so there's some time and MPH left on the table .
The other was 1st gear shift was right around 6100 but 2nd gear was 6544 which was too high , 3rd gear shifted too far down the track since 2nd stretched , and the converter locked almost at the end.
I was real happy with the car not to mention that the track officials came by my pit and said , this is your 1st and only warning , We'll let you run tonight but you need a cage to come back. Shit now what. Dont want to put one in .
So the 3rd pass I up'd the boost and the 2 step to 4300 , I also dropped the 2nd to 3rd shift 400 rpms so it should pick up some more.
On the TB saw 12 psi's but was a little too much spun the tires for a quick second out the gate pulled hard 1st and 2nd but then the car died nosed over. Damn felt real strong since I up'd the boost to 25 psi's , but it blew the Intercooler coupler and lost boost , scratched the run and loaded the car back on the trailer couldn't fix it there .
I think the converter needs to be tightened up a bit because with more boost it should have gone faster in the 8th on my second pass but it went the same MPH seems like its slipping too much until 3rd and lock up .
Overall Im happy she ran great, and I got my best 60ft to date 1.403 , not bad for Drag Radials and a 3.27 rear gear .
