Thanks guys.
This was on 28.5x 10.5 Phoenix slicks. I would love to try my DR's on a prepped track. The biggest issue is getting runs in so I can get the suspension dialed in. Launch boost makes a huge difference in suspension loading, hence why it was sqiurrely here. After talking to Red Armstrong at the dyno, I have alot of insight on launching. What I thought worked, was wrong in these high power cars. I am seeing it on the video. I thought it was shock adjustment, it is too low of boost. Red is running stock shocks!!!! I think I am hitting the shifts right. The car made peak power at 6200 on the dyno. I have the shift light at 6300, so shifting by 6400. Any input on shift rpm is appreciated. I have had some logging issues lately, so no logs to confirm the shifts. Converter seems to be doing its job. It is loose compared to what it was with my old 109 set up, but I have more rpm to play with. Sure is spooling faster. Shift light didn't come on at the end of the run like my previous
9.97@144 short shifting pass. I am going to stiffen the body up with a rear firewall this weekend. I plan on building a cage this winter, and get better brakes for the front. They were fading like crazy at the top of the shut down area. A parachute is going to be added as well. Slowly going from a street car to a race car on the street. I had my wife taping from the bleachers. I asked her if she saw it go sideways. She said she didn't see anything. I told her how fast it went. She said, " Why do you want to go that fast in that little time. I think the fastest I have ever driven is 85". I said I wanna go fast!!!!!! She wants a life insurance policy by fall.
Norbs, I went to the track on street car night for you. Believe me I know my car, I know racing. I really wanted to have a clean run in the cooler air. I figured out the problem, and should be fixed tomorrow. Now I will wait for the fall. I have alot of planned car shows to hit every weekend of this month.
I ran a 200 into the 9's with little issues. I wanted to try a PTC converter, so switch to a 400 since I was switching, knowing I wanted more than a 200 can do reliably. Vince Janis builds a very nice 200. I love my 400 though.
Thanks Coach!!!
The crazy part is, this is the most driveable and fuel efficient the car has been in years, thanks to the XFI and Cal. Runs at 172deg with a junk f-body radiator and junk intrepid fans, Cal can confirm!!!
