NO nine's BUT gaining ground until ....

[Grumpy]

ok went racing today up at our local track today .. Russ was playin with the "tune up" and the car was coming around :biggrin: Melissa ran a 10.15 @ 135.57 with a soft 60' .. Should have watched guys staring this eng to death looking for the "bling" .. wellllll track wants a nine sec cage in the car and we really don't want to put one in .. Just want to run a few 9s and then slow it down to the low 10s.. hey its a street car no brainer set up that screams we were thinking about race tracks in Atco in NJ. Cecil County in Md and Reynolds in Ga.. we have a legal 10 sec cage .. anyone know how strict these tracks are as far as cages ???

Dan,

What is the combo on this car? Stage engine? Transbrake, etc.?

That car is flat out haulin the bacon! Are all of those passes on pump gas?

I'm in the same boat Grumpy 10.12. I just can't get it to hook. :frown: I need a boost controller bad. I noticed if I launch the car off the t-brake then let off just a tad then get back in it, it really helps the ET but the 60's still suck. Weird I have only had one good 60ft and I can't figure out what I did right. LOL

Damn, back in the game the car is still putting up great numbers.

Doing it with so many stock accessories is awesome, this is an easy high 9 car with a slight diet, then throw on some bolt ons and look out.

Aren't you a tad bit tempted to put a 70mm TB and plenum on it??

What are the specifics of this combo and tune? IE...A/F ratio, timing?

 

[Pronto]

Wish I had been able to go last night, good air. My Mom fell and broke her hip so that will curtail my car stuff for a while. It would have been fun to see the unknowing checking under the hood. Actually it was Melissa running mid 11s that got me and several friends very interested in Turbo Buicks.

That is a very conservative buildup for those times. That gives the rest of us hope! Looks like I need to upgrade a turbo.:smile:

nah .... combo's and most of all "tuning" .. last fri night she ran a 10.24.. there was another T there running low 12s .. I had seen the car for the past few weeks but never looked at it .. I thought it was a beautiful "tweaked" stocker.. finally went over to look at it ... lets say he had a LOT of "stuff" GN1s , 66 turbo, front mount ...nice nice nice car !!! I think Russ got another job

Wow those times are very impressive for that combo!!! I would call this the KISS combo (Keep It Simple Stupid) and just shows you can get it done on a budget with some good tuning.. Keep up the good work, nines are just a good 60' away

BTW, Get somebody out there with a friggen' video camera so we can see some video of this car!

PS: Forgot to ask.. What's the race weight??
