i plan on going to the track (1/4 mile)next weekend with the GN. i haven't weighed the car yet but quess it is around 3500lbs. i am running 20 psi at the moment but plan on moving it up a little more if i can get the car out for some more tuning. i have brought the car up on the brake and looks like 10psi is where it just shoots up to. here are the mods
iron ported heads
ported stock intake
ATR 212/206 roller cam
stock bottom end:eek:
ME-R with wideband correction
Razor's dual nozzle alky
RJC front mount
Limit GT70 p-trim
4 bolt TA headers
3.5 dp with 4" exhaust
Neal Racing th400 with a brake
9.5" PTC
Metco upper and lowers
H&R parts sway bar
28x9" MT slicks
Guess away......................thanks Bob
 
High 10's 125ish mph @ 20psi

If you run some good fuel C-16 and turn up the boost around 27-30psi I would say mid to low 10's. Be careful remember you have a stock bottom end. Not safe in the 10's I broke my stock block in half 10.80's. I would leave on the Tbrake at 18psi.
 
Underboost

i am planning on about 21-22 lbs so i can hook my boost controller up. i am running straight off the wastegate right now..with a 14 lb spring in the Tial gate i am at 20 lbs so that is the lowest i can run unless i change springs. i am running 100 unleaded with the alcohol on about 3 probably(old Razor with no dial on the controller). i have no knock at 20lbs and am at appox 50% on the 72lb injectors. i'm glad you changed the 116 mph:D i am not going above 21-22 lbs because of the short block. i am saving all this year for one of those Champion stage 2 blocks so i am going to try and take it easy on it....if weather permits i will know next Sunday..it's snowing here in Ga right now:smile:

Topfuel i'll take it:smile: thanks Bob
 
10.69@127.38 WIth a good launch. Sounds like you got a good converter.:redface:

yes i do:smile: Dusty had to replace everything in it...it was an old nitrous torque converter, comes up real nice

i'll throw my guess in 10.50 at 133 i have got into it about 4 times in drive from 50mph to ?? it's definately got more a$$ than the te44 had:biggrin: Bob
 
track

hey bob what track you going to? if it close to me i might come down?
 
11.0@121mph at 20psi
10.6@127mph at 25-26psi

Assuming a/f and timing is maxed out for each boost level
 
test

Well its going to be to far for me to come watch..... anyway i just done some testing in vader87 car at stele couple weeks ago. about the same suff you have . it went a 6.94 a the 1/8 and 11.04 letting off in the 1/4 at 112. this is with alky a 21 boost. leaving at 2# at the line. if you can leve at 10# you should run around 10.40's or 30's here his run. forgot this is on bfg drag radials too, spining some leaving

times

Well guys i am pretty happy...my first pass didn't look promising but i had my crappy DR's on...12.43 at 120.49 with a 2.36 60ft...had to pedal it bad...next pass on 21-22lbs i ripped a 10.74 at 127.40 with a 1.62 60ft...now i am happy:smile: i see i have some mph.turned the boost up to 23-24lbs..and went 10.48 at 129.19 with a 1.51 60ft...last pass of the day still at 23-24lbs went 10.58 at 128.69 with a 1.52 60ft...i was racing a 03-04 supercharged that was very well modded but he broke at the line:( he was very fast but i think i could had put it on him

Norbs and GNbrett i think ya'll are the closest with the 21-22lbs:) i wanted 130 but it was hot outside and my slicks were spinning on the rims. i will have some video on youtube soon and will post a link to this thread..it did pull the tires just a little on the hit.......thanks Bob
