Boosted my confidence with the hypers!

[Intercooler]

Not a GN but should not matter for the engine combo. My car weighs in at 2760# w/driver and is running a 3.08 final drive.
+.020 hypers and ARP rod bolts in otherwise stock shortblock; Chanpion Irons and intake, ARP head studs, MSD50s @ 43# static, PTE-51, TTA THDP, JJ 62mm TB, FMIC, ME-16, P-Plate, 2800 stall D5, 26x9.5x16 QTPs.

Best time to date is 10.52 @ 128.86 with 26.5# boost, 1590* thru the traps on pos D, 91% inj DC. Felt effortless so I think it likes this combo. I feel the turbo is done but going to dyno today w/wide-band to fine tune it.

I use the default 0-4000 of 12 but might try 10. Spoolup is set to 5 and that solved a lean spke I had almost at the top of 1st and 2nd. MAF is locked on at 245 and Fuel limiter is set to 180. For some very strange reason, Orlando-87GN (RX-7/GN) and I have not had luck with any V7 chip and still using a V6. Things are going so well we are afraid to try a switch again, LOL


Light car but the numbers are very good!

How come your car is so light? I hope I'm not asking a dumb question!

Sounds like a Z car to me..

Definitely sound slike a Z car to me AND he has the dreaded PTE51. Nice times and nice combo too.
Good luck IC on those hypers, I've seen them take a beating in SBFs, w/N2O and boost but not at 26psi. I think you'll be fine, just watch the detonation (duh) and they should stay together nicely.
Once again, good luck, I can't wait to hear what she runs

460 hp to push that car 128 mph

that would be around 11.65 and 116 mph in 3700# car

Dont know what size tire you have but a 3:23 or 3:42 would be better wouldnt it ?

And yeah what car is it?

 

[Intercooler]

It isn't my car. It is Scottie's Z. I got it here: http://members.boardhost.com/MaxEffort/

Hey, I know that car!!

Stopped for gas in GA and picked up a bunch of crap in my fuel system driving up from Orlando to Reynolds. Did not get it all cleared out until about noon Sat. It took a couple of passes to completely clear it out but the car went 1.52, 6.729 @ 102.45, 10.53 @ 129.65 on 25psi boost. Developed a boost leak on Sunday and was finishing with 23psi.

That was my first Buick event and was absolutely impressed with the cars and how nice everything and everyone was. Thanks to all for stopping by and saying hi to a half-breed .

I borrowed a funnel from someone (twice) and did not get a chance to return it. I really apologize for that so please drop me an email so I can mail it to you or pay to replace it.

My friend Laz ran 10.44@129 last year at Reynolds and he runs .040 hypereutectic pistons . The car weighs 3650 with a 200 lb. driver it's lasted 4 years so far. Roy
