now i know how it feels ...

i took the GN to a track about 2 1/2 hours away from home to get some cooler weather to see if it would help. temps were still in the 80* range but it was a lot better then 95* 2 weekends ago. Right off the trailer, without any tuning the car went 9.99 at 139 with a 1.67 60ft..

Came back to the pits and let the car cool down for about a hour.. went back into the lanes to get a second run and try to better the time.. i didn't do any tuning changes or sway bar / air bags.. i did a little better burnout to see if it would help the 60ft.. well it pulled a 1.58 which was better but not great.. my norms are around 1.45's.. anyway she pulled 9.87 at 139 .
a vacuumm line came off on the top end which made the car fall on it's face .

Thanks again for Billy Anderson for building me this kick a$$ motor 2 1/2 years ago. i think i have about over 200 runs on this motor in the mid to low 10's and its still kicking strong for a 109 block

waiting for my friend to download them from his camera.. it's bad a$$, we were very lucky that the track let him about 30 feet in front of the starting line..

wow congrats. we knew you were going to get it. it was only a matter of time. now just dont break it before the WCN

The Andersons are good people, Jr knows his stuff and congrats we know there is more et just with a better 60'.

 

[nordy racer]

like i stated... Billy built this motor over 2 1/2 years ago with quests of hitting only mid 10's safely.. we have almost 200 run at mid 10's at 26 to 30psi.. Plus i have about 500 street miles on it too..
we think with 1.40's 60fts it should pull 9.60's at 143mph.. we will see..

Ditto. Your car is all I'd ever want from my TR.. A 9 sec car that I can drive on the street

well i backed up my 9.87 big time last night.. temps outside at the track was still HOT at around 90*..

right off the trailer she went 9.69 at 140, second run wasn't that good, but it was a 9.76 at 140.. 60fts are still of my avg of 1.45's...

This 109 engine in my car, is the engine that could .. has about 200 runs on it and still going strong.. Thanks Billy A

60' time sucks Mike but that is ok, you have the power to get it done on the big end!! I wonder if the anti-roll is binding???

it's starting to get to hot out here to run at that night .. i'll adjust it a little bit and see what i can do at the local 1/8 track, which is more closer to the ocean and cooler temps..
