another of razors kits in the 9's

[1985GN]

did not go what i had hoped but getting there...drove an hour to the local track and with a 1.56 60' posted a 9.99 at 137.2....backed it with a 9.91 at 137.8 on a 1.55 60' but let out a little up top as i heard a noise....last pass left a little harder and posted a 1.48 60' but let out as i heard what sounded like a flutter...drove the car home with no problems only to see i blew a cometic head gasket...bad luck in the past 2 months all of a sudden with this car hope to have it back together thsi week and gonna try to make a full pass with the header welded back up and new headgaskets and see if i cant eek in the 9.7 range...kit has only had one pump failure in 5 years, thanks for the killer kits Julio

another 9 sec car with Alky from Julio !!! :biggrin:

 

[Pronto]

Do you know what caused the gasket failure?

 

[1985GN]

my guess is just getting greedy with boost..it was a .060 cometic which to my opinion at these higher boost levels just gives you more area to have a blowout, lol i have .040's on the way from cotton then back to the track again before the year is over

Congrats on the 9 sec passes! Post your whole timeslip if you don't mind.

Nice job!! What combo helped you get there?

 

[jdsgnx]

CONGRAT'S!!!!!

thanks JD

 

[Boost231]

congrats and sorry to hear about the head gasket. good thing u got it home ok.

 

[KevinB]

What's your combo? Was that with pump gas?

 

[1985GN]

combo is a 109 block with ported stock heads, 215/220 roller cam, stock intake, 3" full exhaust, 3200stall with a th350 trans, 72's 3" downpipe, precision frount mount, xfi...yes car was on hess 93 with razors kit...according to the calculators my convertor is slipping alot up top so i doubt i can get much more mph out of it till i swap in a PTC one but on my last pass i think i would have went a high high 9.7 but let out after hearing a noise....hope ot be going back to track right before thanksgiving to give it another crack

 

[Raymond Bunch]

Nice times man!

Hope you get everything back together and get that 9.7x, that would be an awesome acomplishment with ported irons!!! Good luck.

 

[Razor]

Fastest time I know off on iron heads with a 109 block is 9.55 from Roy Garcia a few years ago in TSM trim. Your not far off on a car that is street driven and issues associated with a street car like carbon deposits/buildup which can be bad news at really high pressures.

Just keep an eye on her.. thats all..

 

[1985GN]

if i can get the 9.7 out of it with a full run on a good 60' im gonna then swtich over to a PTC convertor and see how much further i can get with these heads cause like i had said it seems im haveing to much convertor slippage with the pats at this level....

 

[blackshoebox]

What does the car weigh? What Turbo?

Impressive numbers..

 

[1985GN]

honestly i have not truly weighed the car in some time i took a couple pounds out but i have gained some myself, lol im 6'5" 295lbs i need a jocky to drive it then it will put up a killer number, but my guess is right around 3650...the turbo is a dual ball bearing innovative 70 qtrim
