I think I might have seen this car before??

You sir are correct!!

What stall do you have. You look like you would benefit from more stall. Are you leaving on all of the nitrous or progressive?

It's an SS3600 and I have talked to Yank extensively thinking it's to tight (maybe just hasn't loosened up yet). I am currently having window switch coming in at 3100-6600 and it still isn't hitting til about 10'-20' out so it is definitely not flashing to 3600. I've tried leaving from idle, 1000, 2000, but seem to get best 60' at 2500. I have checked the shift extensions (falls 1000rpm on shifts) and even sent a video to Yank. They said they like to see minimum of 800-1000 or they won't restall. They suggested a PA3800. I can't hit out of the hole just yet anyway as I am still on the 10 bolt
I have almost exactly the same mods as you (except 3.42 gears) and know there is more in it. (420 rwhp motor unlocked). So.....
What do your 60's look like and what is your race weight?? I am full weight except for sway bar delete.

mid 1.5s motors, mid 1.4s spray, 3500 race weight

My car also does best when I get up against the ceonverter as hard as possible. I leave the hole on about 100, then bring in another 100.

Thanks, good to know. 2500 is all my brakes will hold. I still don't know what she weighs...I'm guessing 3600+
With the 129 trap (same as you), it's making power. I just need to get this pig out of the hole faster! If I can get a 1.4x 60' it should be in the high 10.3x (either that or 10 bolt)

2500 is all my brakes will hold as well. I can get a little more if I crank my proportioning valve wide open. Im going to add a 2 step this winter so
I can leave with my foot on the floor with more consistent launches.

How are you activating the nitrous?

ragtopz28

iTrader: (57)

Window switch @ 3100-6600
You still on 4L60(65)?

jblankenship

iTrader: (5)

Yes, 4l60e with an HD2 kit.

Why not drop the window switch to 3000?

ragtopz28

iTrader: (57)

Yeah, gonna try that next time out since converter is so tight and car is already rolling out before it hits. I guess 10 bolt is still holding because I have so much preload on it @ 2500.
Your 10 still alive too with braces and cover?

jblankenship

iTrader: (5)

Still alive.

A little more nitrous jet will loosen it up as well. lol

Let's see how far we can push these little 7.5's
I might try 175 but am a little leary of the SBE...trying to stay somewhat conservative.

That's my plan, which cam do you have and what is you nitrous setup? Suspension?

I'm working on suspension lately. Went to a BMR antiroll bar was able to equal my best 60 on half the nitrous. Unfortunately, my last pass of the year I spun, my fault. Believe I'm going after front shocks and different relocation brackets with more adjustment. My car is slammed.

When you are ready to start messing with the suspension stuff let us know and we will be more than happy to help you out in any way we can.

OP, it looks like the car is starting to really come around!

BTR Stage 3, HSW plate w/62 jet. BMR TA (long), homemade LCA w/RLB, triangular welded SFC, QA1 single rears and Strange single front set at 26" front and 26.5" rear. Traction is not an issue @ 28psi.

See this is why I'm scared to change the suspension too much. Right now I'm pretty sure I can get 1.42-1.43 pretty easy and I daily drive the car as well. I just have comp eng 3 ways on the back with stock springs cut. The front is stock struts with intrax lowering springs. It just seems to work, front wheels don't lift either though. I have the pinion set at -.5 degrees, and lca is angled down toward the rear but only .8 degrees. My plan was TRZ relocation brackets and strange sa with 300 springs. Would like to set the pinion back to -2 and get the lca to 2 degrees down as well. If my measurements are correct I have no instant center.

I here you, it's definitely getting it done.
I'm using 3rd gen V6 springs (cut to achieve ride height) for rear and Strange sa w/300 springs front one click from full loose. It definitely leaves better now than with the DMS lowering springs and DeCarbons (sold that set-up for enough to buy the Strange sa's new(f) and the used QA1's (r).

Thanks Kyle, maybe I'll see you at the Modern Muscle Shootout 1/17/15. Your buddies with the BA TA's going to that event?
