Well I went down to MIR with several friends Sat afternoon for some time runs. They allow five passes for $30 bucks. You just pull up in the lanes when you are ready. It was pretty cool. The track officials where the coolest I've ever experienced. Anyway, the issue I have right now is I don't have a line-lock and I am heating the rear brakes on the burnouts. The first pass was at 20lbs of boost on the 24 degree Max-effort maf-less racechip on the default settings. I was running 28x 10.5 et drags at 12psi. I went 11.78 at 116.22. I left on 5lbs of boost. The 60 foot time was 1.77. The egt's were at 1494.
The second pass I turned up the boost to 22 and ran 11.52 at 118.82. I still left around 5lbs. The 60's were 1.73. It seemed to be all I could hold without pushing. The egt's were 1580.
The third pass, I used the e-brake and pushed the boost up to around 6-7lbs or so. Well I pushed slightly before I actually pulled the lever and left. I think that I hurt my e.t. because of this. I ran an 11.71 at 116.44.
On the fourth pass, I let a friend of mine drive the car. He had a high 10 second mustang and his father has a TTA. I turned the boost up slightly.(turned out to be 24psi) When he did the burnout, He barely got the tires spinning and did a dragster type burnout off of the brakes. Then he staged the car, put on the e-brake, put the car in neutral revved it a few times to build vacuum. He left at 8 lbs of boost and got a 1.69 60 foot. He ran 7.26 at 94.41 in the eighth and finished with an 11.33 at 120.17. I was ecstatic, however a little bummed I was'nt driving. There was no knock on the pass and the egt's were 1640.
On the last pass, I replicated his staging practice. I did'nt change anything on the set-up of the car. It worked because I had a 1.68 60 foot time. I ran 7.25 at 96.62 in the eighth. I made one mistake though. I put the car back in overdrive after the burnout instead of drive. She shifted into overdrive around the 1000 ft mark I still finished with an 11.34 at 118.81. Probably could have been in the 11.20's at 121-122 if I had'nt f'ed up.
I am still pretty happy. I figure if I ever try any setting on this chip besides the defaults, and get a line-lock and some S-10 wheel cylinders then I'll get some 60 fts out of the car and run even quicker. I also need top set-up the pinion angle with my adlustable upper control arms. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Damn Mustang people

How are you going to let a Mustang Guy drive your Buick?

Oh, that was me. Watching the video from the pass looks like my left foot isnt that fast cause the brake lights were still on about 1-2 ft out.

But then again I have a 5 speed in the Stang...So go Figure

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Isn't that the TRUTH!
 
Marley,

You know how much I love your car...I think I said "I have got to get me one of these" when I got out of the car back in the pits.

For some reason it FELT faster than When I went 10.97 in the Mustang Shifting it. Its Just a Differnet Power with that HUFFER on it and 2 less Cylinders. and the Crazy thing is that there is alot left in her (ie. Tuning -suspension, fuel, and of Coarse BOOST) We should have Weighed your Tank oh I mean car. Maybe you can venture Down this Saturday for another 3 hour away T-N-T. j/k

Hey, why dont you come and play Ball thursday night and I sell that line lock for 50 bucks. Hey i gotta try to get you to play, old guy.

Matt/Hope, "The Darkside" is where it is at for Organized sanctioned racing. A few organizations that have A bunch of Races every year and they keep growing. Its not that common with the Buicks (anymore) unfortunately. Or if there was then the TTA would probably not be sitting. But now that I will have a Garage as of this coming Monday, then I can put that Silly car back togeather "again" and correctly too I might add.

Could be worse I could own a vette..haha or a Honda (oh I do but its a 4 door accord Gas mileager)

Anywayz, lots of packing to do and well I probably wont get it done til monday Procrastination at its finest.

See Ya,

The trader haha
