I finally got a chance to run the Buick yesterday, for the first time EVER. As soon as I got signed in she told me that my group was running. (Street = V8’s and up! What the hell.) I did not even get a chance to take all the dead weight out the car. :redface: I had to go straight to the line.
When I pulled up on the person that wave us to the line, I asked, should I put the helmet on? She tells me she does not think I will, so I did not put one on. Rolled up to the line for the first time EVER, and made this pass.
R/T = .069
60’ = 1.997
330’ = 5.628
660’ = 8.728
MPH = 78.89
1000 = 11.431
MPH = ?
1/4 = 13.746
Helmet Required!!
Don’t laugh but the car was in OD for the first run.
I was nervous as hell!!
Keep in mind that I really don’t have a clue on how to tune. I just bought pieces and put them on. I had a little knock in between 1-2 it cleared up, then came back on the 2-3 then cleared up again. I let up a little both times I seen it. The first run I made was recorded but I screwed it up and saved over it. These were the setting for all three passes. The second and third of course were slower times due to wheel spin. I tried to leave a little harder. (Didn't work). I will not go back until I put the MT’s on. I could not leave consistently on these crappy tires. (Traction is a real problem) All in all I had a good time and can’t complain, as I have a lot to learn. I drove it there, which was about 65 miles one way and made it home.
I will try to run it one more time with the stock turbo, bigger spring for more boost and the MT’s and see what it will do before I put the Billet Wheel on. I know it has alot more! :biggrin: I will probably break something then.
I have attached the second run as well. That run is when the tires broke loose and some knock.
Turbo = Stock
Boost = 16 -17lbs Max – I had the smallest spring I could use in the external gate.
Launch = -2 Boost
Fuel = 93 & 100 mix
O2’s = 820 -830 Top of third
Alky Knob = 4 1/2
Tires = GTA 16’ Radial = no slick
Suspension = One air bag
Weight = Really Heavy :redface:
93-94 TT Chip 5.6 = Wide Band not used yet
Open Dump
Valve springs not on yet.
All other little parts in the Sig were on.
I’m addicted now!!
