Every one seamed to be getting good runs, till the VW bug droped all his gear oil down the middle of the right lane from end to end. The track was down for the good part of what seemed like an hour, while they "tryed" to clean the goo up.
I had know idea how quick the car would go with the new combo. So, I figured I'd start off slow, I pulled 2 deg of timeing out of the WOT of my Turbo Tweak chip. Boost was set at 22 lbs. I didn't think that there was much of a chance of running too fast (7.28). On my first run I did a foot brake launch with less than 1 lbs boost, then rolled in to the gas. For some reason, my Direct Scan didn't record this run.
First run: left lane
60' 1.842
330' 4.930
1/8 7.49
MPH 96.03
____________________
The next run was a foot brake launch at 1 lbs boost and then stuff the pedal a bit quicker. Direct Scan showed the launch RPMs at 4000 ( I figured that I flashed the 3200 converter to 4k as I let the brake go).DS also showed the O2s starting in the 870s and going through the traps right at 800. The car hazed the tires for what felt like at least 100 feet.
Second run: right(oily) lane
60' 1.724
330' 4.822
1/8 7.379
MPH 96.48
While picking up my time slip, the guy said,"This thing goes pritty good". I repley," Yea, it does OK". He then grins and says,"It better not do any better or your out of here".
____________________
For my third (and last) run, I turned the boost DOWN one full turn on the WG. I did a trans brake launch at about 5 lbs of boost and stuffed the pedal. HOLLY CR@P! It felt like I got hit in the rear by a Mac truck, while being shot out of a canon. My neck is still hurting (three days later) while I'm typeing this. Next time I'll keep my head on the head rest. DS showed a 4200 launch with O2s from 880s to 710s.
Third run: left lane
60' 1.615
330 4.667
1/8 7.121
MPH 96.38
After this run, the nice man took my wrist band and mumbled something about a rollbar.
All runs were on MT DRs, 91 OCT with Razors meth, Going through the traps at 5400 RPMs. Timeing was 22/21.
Questions to the gurus:
Is this normal that my 9" Art Carr 3200 non lu conv, stalls at 4200? (Not that I'm complaining).
If this thing does 5400 RPMs @ the 1/8th, what will this put me at in the 1/4 mi? (I'm planing on running at Fontana on the 26th).
What does a 7.21 @ 96= in the 1/4 mi? (I remember hearing that Nordys car ran to fast for this track too, so I must be pritty close to what he runs:biggrin: ).
How much faster would it have gone with 2deg more and triming some fuel?
I don't plan on getting a roll bar, so I may never know what this thing will do.
Heck, I'm sceeerd to even open my 100 oct alky chip.
Happy spooling

your convertor seems a bit loose you may think about re-stalling that thing to around 3,200 A high stall will kill your MPH on top end . BTW Mike ran 6.04 at Irwindale with a 1.35 sixty foot and 116mph, you need a lot more work done to your car to get that low of numbers. but your car is one nasty street car. Congrats..

Explain the later post. "hey buddy hows it going? nice run love that gn." Like Ralph never talked to him.
