spent to much cash for that damn thing, didn't want to by-pass it. i'm thinking its the 5 bar map sensor not reading.. only the first time to the track, and not the last ..

Well, break out the air compressor and check it!

 

[nordy racer]

it was chevotas 1st time out with that combo too! and no excuses!
never made any comments on your performance good or bad, just said I saw a 7.20 and traction problems,
as I remember, it was you who said he'd line up with us west coast guys,
I'm sure you will improve as you get it dialed in, and used to it,
I look forward to watching it progress, hope I can run as good with mine!
you think it was too much armor all on the tires? might want to keep chester away from it! ha ha ha
now you guys are making me envious, I guess I'd better get busy.

Thanks man, and also thanks for the Burger and soda you didn't have to do that.. to bad Ray hit the soda and spilled it all over the place :frown: ..

yea the 7.20 i missed the shift because i was focused on the damn boost guage..

like i stated... i can't hang with you stage guys.. i guess i'll have to start a new motor project mid year ..

Actually, I could make excuses...smaller turbo than nordy, smaller cam, no GN1R heads, 45ci less displacement etc etc... And 3700 pounds??

its all about the weight.. 100lbs = 1 tenth..

RIGHT your truck weights 3700, i think the scale was WAY off.. or you have to many bodys in the bed..

I will let Nordy answer this one, I can't have all the Fun, but yeah I give the TROLL scotty some props, his SH**VOTA is moving, I guess it better be after spending all that cash putting in a TA Aluminum block, shedding another 300 pounds in the process and adding a few Xtra goodies always helps, I guess is now time to throw in a good paint job, of course that is if there is any money left.

PS: 2 names wasn't tuning Nordy's cars just simply pointing out that his solenoids for the 2 step innovative boost controller weren't working.
also getting the times right Nordy ran 7.01 at 97mph on his 1st pass.

Congrat's Nordy & I'm sure your thanking John Force for loaning out his crew chief Harrold to assist you. Once you get all the bugs out .You ought to break the sound barrier.

Lou his problem is fixed, i am sure he wont be breaking the sound barrier but it should go mid 6's next week, with a 109 ANDERSON build block, he took me for a ride today and all i can say is HOLY Crap, his car moveesssssss .

BTW thanks for all the part numbers for the gaskets you provided today I appreciate it.

I am glad to see everyone is getting along now.

Lets change the topic.

Scott, how do you like the XFI on your stock motor with your ta49 turbo :wink:

Lee, when are we going to see you run that stock blue t-type, it might get in the 8's in the 1/8th. :biggrin:

Brent, did you get that new turbo working good for you yet? Last time I saw you, you where trying to dial it in.

Nerdy (JK) Nordy, I am glad to see that you do have a Buick and I had to get a crank from Billy Anderson, he seems like a good guy, but not cheep.

Maybe, I will make it out next week, I findly talked my dad into a Grand National after 13 years. I will see if I can get a chip burned from Neal for him and see what a stocker will do in the 1/8th. I come from a Ford family and was the black sheep of the family because I had a GM product, now comes the V6 turbo addition for my dad and I've got all kinds of goodies for him.

Great running truck.Nice job! How soon before we see a 5 second slip?

As soon as the cage is cert'd. Sure is easy to load a program and adjust power based on track conditions. 200+ more hp at the touch of a button! Yes, boost control on the XFI does work :wink:

Hey Scott, damb that stock motor halls ass looks like you should have not painted your block to look like aluminum. Don't all these guys know it is a 109 block with fake extra head bolts in your heads I hope my Pacer will run close to you when I get my Briggs & Starton motor back together. As of right now, I don't know what car I need to finsh first, Pacer or Grimlen. PM me next time you go out and I will try to make it.
