first time at the track with the GN

[V6sleeper]

Like Pronto said get some "just for track" 15x8 welds 275 mt pro's try 17-18 psi in them , your toyo's are only 25.5in and you will be loosing mph , get your 60' from 2.1 to 1.6 and your 12.4 becomes 11.3, forget the E brake, from there on out you can start the fine tuning.
That is a 10sec combo.

 

[Mr.Spool]

Also, I used the E-brake to help it hold...but have since read up on that. Not sure I'll try it again.

way back in the day i always used the ebrake to hold the car,used to leave at 20psi 0 issues

 

[Mr.Spool]

Also tested out the 275s and they can hold 8psi at 3100RPM before they broke loose.

the rear brakes are what holds the car,sounds like your pushing into the converter nicely and getting ready to leave with some boost instead of riding out of the hole on boost climb.

Will hit the track in a few hours to see what it'll do. Thinking it'll be too fast to run without a rollbar, so I'm figuring on getting only one pass.

any changes ?or are you going to leave with boost and get the car to 60ft and 330?

 

[6gunn]

At the track now. Best run so far is 11.9 at 114. Battery voltage 13.1 and the AFR/blms not steady. Not sure what's going on but am not getting any knock. Battery is about done perhaps? Alky 6. Best 60ft 1.8 left on 8psi

No changes. Best I could manage was 8psi...any more would break the tires loose. The 275s were aired down to 20psi and still wouldn't hook. 2nd gear would also get loose every time. Thought these tires would be the ticket. Kinda frustrating. Guess the only way to get this thing to hook up is with slicks, huh? Also have some strange fluctuation with the AFR...so after 4 runs, I packed it up and headed home. Still got two personal bests...a 1.8 60' and my first run in the 11s...an 11.9. Best mph it ran was 114. 3 mph down from when the 6776 was on there. Gotta figure out this AFR issue and get some slicks or something that'll work better than the 275s.

Time slip:
1.8294 60'
5.0335 330'
7.6888 1/8 MPH
92.17 1/8 ET
11.9564 1/4 ET
114.90 1/4 MPH

I prefer MT drag radials. I got 1.5s on MT 255s. Do you have a large rear swaybar and air bags? I used to run an ATR bar and airbags with 20 in the right side and 10 in the drivers. Also 18psi in the drag radials. Did you log the runs?

No rear sway bar. The only one I've seen is from HRparts and it hangs too low for my liking. No bags but they are on the list to buy. I logged all the runs, but only saved the 11.9 run. The AFR abnormality was present in all runs. Kept running because I didn't see any knock and thought it'd work itself out(BLM learning or something to that effect). The injector DC also dropped to the 50s. It is usually 65%ish. MAF issue maybe? Low battery voltage? Nothing changed since last runs at the track other than the turbo and tires, so I'm stumped as to the all of a sudden problem with the AFRs bouncing around.

Do you have the stock bar? Detroit Speed doesn't hang down. I'll check the log later.

Wow, I like that one. Will it work with the Ford 9"?

 

[Pronto]

Looks like you lifted on your 1-2 shift unless that was a drop out. Your Injector DC also dropped out on 1-2. Maybe you have an electrical issue. Probably good time to check the grounds on the back of the head and look at wires for any issues.

Not sure, you may need to call them.

 

[Pronto]

Looks like you lifted on 1-2 shift or you had a drop out. Same with Injector duty cycle. Check your grounds and wires for any issues. Your wide band is all over the place too. It should be much more steady. Do you have the PL analog input setting correctly set?

That was where it would get loose and I'd lift to get it to hook back up.

When needing new tires I'd suggest you switch to Mickey Thompson Drag Radials...

 

[6gunn]

Found a couple pics someone took. The rear squat is painfully evident with the 2" A-body drop springs. Air bags are definitely needed.

 

[Pronto]

Find a set of 15x8s and put some MTs 275/60s as well...

Thanks for steering me in the right direction. Not going to any more test n tunes until I get this traction issue figured out.

i dont think that is wise,you need seat time and need to try to make changes and see where those changes take you,instead of just buying parts and think that is going to solve your traction issue.if your not going to really make the proper changes then you will need someone else to set the car up for you.

thats the 1st mistake.
