Back again, after the diesaster in Germany with wrong converter. I got a new converter a couple of days later. I put it up and tested it on the jackstands, and it felt like it was going low 7´s I made a decision to go to north Sweden on a test and tune. What can I say!? In Sweden we have midsummer sun, and it´s so beautiful. This picture is taken 12 in the midnight. But we have lots of moscitos.
I like the place very much, and it was fun to meet old friends from the north side of Sweden.
Svensk idyll
Genuin Swedish
Fixing an old car or something...
The time is 6 in the morning.
The track was prepped only 60 foot out. Concrete to 1,8 mile. Rest of the track was asphalt. Very good brakingdistance 4 mile long.
Finally time to test. I was very nervous first out. Is it gonna break or not? Stall and let it go, yes it is working this time. I felt after 60 foot that I was loosing tracktion, but I never let it off.
Enter the pitarea and got the timeslip. Happy when I saw the timeslip. Finally the Syclone delivers again! One thing is for sure, it´s not easy to get an AWD truck to go fast.
Slip
60 fot 1.53
1/8 5.8/129Mph
1/4 8.8 /160.5Mph
Went back to see the film from the run and we decieded to soft the chassi a little bit. Made one more pass, scored 8.8 again! But the car was spinning much worse this time.
As usual here in Sweden it´s raining when it´s race. We had a rainstop for three hours.
A fast pickup
After rain there´s sunshine... or something
We adjust the boostcontroller to back down the power. But same problem, it went up in smoke again after 60 foot. What the hell... we decided to go home. I know for sure that when I´m gonne come to a really glued track it´s gonna go fast or I´m gonna break something.
We packed and went home with two 8´s
I´m so impressed that this V6 can deliver so much power! One thing is for sure you don´t need any NOS V8 or so to run fast.
