well I think its a new best for power stroke I/c

as well as new best for 204/214 speed pro cam

and possibly new best for factory valved heads

had a few problems with a missfire but found that and fixed it them made about 12 10 second passes till either the input shaft or intermediate shaft snaped in the tranny

best all over run was:

60 ft : 1.516
330 ft : 4.370
1/8 : 6.71
1/8 mph: 105.22
1000 ft : 8.71

1/4 : 10.41
1/4 mph: 133.01 :D

had bad traction problems mostly thru 2nd gear

car was on 28/10.50 et drags and was launched on ft brake

well I broke the tranny so a few billet parts and a trans brake should send me on down toward my 9.99 goal

I got enough mph now just need to get the car to hook up

there were cam corders there so I need to get my passes from the people recording and hope that someone got that run and I'll get it on computer and find someone to host it.

I got d/s files on these runs and see more tuning to do so I feel I'm not at the limit just yet

before I'm asked it was done at 23 degrees timing and 29-30# boost on c16 fuel and no problems with knock
 
Congrats Red! That sucks you broke the tranny. What fuel system setup do you have? I bet that launch felt awesome! Get any air under the front tires?
 
thanks guys !!

My best 60 for the day was 1.49

as far as air I was told that on a few passes It got air but I havent seen the video's yet

anyone got suggestions on keeping the car hooked in 2nd gear?

I looked at d/s real good and It looks like it totally hooks at 100 mph :eek:
 
Congrats Red!!!

What kind of chip are you using now?? Please get those vids posted!:D :cool: :)
 
Congrats!


Stock style factory pistons?

I just picked a set of .030" replacements for my original motor.


What kind of cage did you put in the car?
 
lol at cage

dont got one thats why I had to get a track rental to get any passes in hard to tune when they only let you run one pass


factory stock pistons

gotta get tranny fixed so I can see what breaks next :D

no more track visits planned for a while gotta get thru the wedding stuff first

fuel system I made a duel intake pump setup running a 262 or whatever it is as a primary pump and a 340 as the secondary pump turned on with a hobb switch..I added a second outlet thru the sending unit so each pump has a seperate outlet them going thru 2 stock style filters into a moroso Y block then going into 1/2" presslock hose up to the fuel rail
 
RED AIN'T SKEERT!

Congratulations ( and thanks ) for stretching the envelope, Red!

Red, when you get a chance, would you take a look at your Inj DC?

TIA!! :)

Well I guess you're done for this year:D

Congrats on the times and the upcoming wedding.
 
Thanks for letting the secret out!:D I was just curious cause it sounded like you were having some trouble finding a good chip for your combo with those 75lb injectors.... Sounds like Eric can really burn a good chip cause you don't see many normal chip cars going 130+mph in the 1/4!:cool:
 
Red-

Zoinks.... your MPH is huge bro. Very nice indeed. 133mph with stock valves in the heads and stock pistons.... WOW! :eek:

29-30psi....... :D and only 23* timing.

Duttweiller always prefers more boost and a little less timing in his hell machines.

Get that 60ft in line and your car will be BBbbbaaaadddDDD!

Congratulations Red car is flyyyyyying. :)

Hey I might be in N.N. in May and June, where and when is the wedding. :D


Eric actually offered to make me a chip, so cool, I know it will work!!! :cool:

Running 10's is easier than marriage you know? ;)
