Patrick Hall and Cal Hartline reviewed the latest 9 second data logs. I stepped back listened to these two determine how to get more power out of the car. They both know I do not want to hurt anything.
I stole the car from the wife and took it to the track Friday night. It felt like I had Alan Johnson as a crew chief as Pat tuned the car and called the MPH it was going to run on each pass. On the last pass of the night he handed me the laptop and said go load this tune in the car and then it’s going to run 141 mph in the mid nines.
This has been a learning year for me. I am finally getting the car sorted out. This just would not have been possible with out all the help I have received.
It starts with the power plant and all the advice I got from Dan Strezo. The engine is really starting to make some power. I am so glad I listened to him and he shared so much with me.
Jack Cotton and all the guys at his shop. The fuel system I got from Cottons is working great. Brian did a hellava job on the down pipe he made for me.
Cal Hartline for letting me annoy him with tons of questions. I am very fortunate to get his technical advice. He really accelerated the learning curve. I would never be able to switch back to a stock ECM on anything I ever build again.
It is hard to believe that last year this time Chris Jacabsen and I were finishing up the chassis and setting the body onto the frame. Then In January my Friend Tim Galloway started performing body work and painting the car.
I never thought the car would go this fast the first year we had it out
3 runs all in the 9's
