The GN at Cordova, were its heart met its demise

[Daniel Jost]

Here is a video my brother put together for me after my unfortune 13th run at cordova dragway in Illinois, my best run was a 11.9@110 1.6 60' due to some issues with what seemed like hitting a brick wall at the 8th mile... then loosing the engine later in the day.. its going to be down quite some time due to me being 2 years into a 4 year collage....:frown: I have to say otherwhise it was a fun day, had some suspension unloading problems but managed to get the drivers tire off the ground!:smile:

Here it is... enjoy

Thats a shame, how many miles were on it? 11.9 in a hotair is pretty darned good, or was it converted over to the 86-87 intake setup?

73,000 miles... it was an interesting conversion that i fabbed up myself with the turbo mounted like a toyota supra and the 87 intake..

So are you going to get a set of larger injectors? I'm wondering if you leaned it out. Those 42.5's are very small for E85. Best thing to do is get a modded ECM and a set of 95's or 83's.

I think racetronix sells high imp 79# injectors

Actually that day i was on 110 leaded race fuel, i was running out of fuel around 21psi on E85. I was pretty heavy on the rich side, and only saw a EGT of about 1000-1100 max...
