MIR Outlaw Drag radial 8/8/08 LSx progress We're slowly getting there, as usual with new car blues we're finding small **** that needs to be addressed. One thing that is a problem is our IATs are through the roof and we found something in the intercooler setup that needs to be fixed. We're also creeping up on the 60's. They were deadly consistent all night, If I remember correct they were all 1.35s with the exception of the one where it spun(1.7) and the last one 1.33. We ran about 25# of boost on the 191 or 193 pass so we're heading in the right direction, our best 1/8 mile hit was a 5.0000000 @ 153 still again with the 1.35 60'. If we had more time I definitely think we could have made the correct changes and gotten down the track alittle faster.
First test hit we make a 1/8 mile test hit, car went left but wheeled it back to the center of the track, very soft 5.1 @ 150mph pass. 1.35 60', A/F was right where we left it last time low 10:1.

First round qualifier we slid in the right lane and had bad luck, spun the tires at the hit pedaled it and went a 8.1 @ 189 1.7 60'. Car felt strong in the mid range

2nd round qualifier we switched to the left lane that seems to hook alittle better maybe its our luck. Put a soft tuneup that we knew would go down the track. Made a very soft 7.59 @ 191 1.35 60'

1st round we drew Scott Bitzer who is very fast. Put alittle more tuneup in it and had some issues at the top of the track, let out and went another 7.58 @ 180 with another 1.35 60'. We busted a nice .007 light on that run.

2nd round action we drew the infamous Richie Stine who is killer on the tree and deadly consistent. We added alittle more power, tree'd his *** but it shook the tires HARD 100' out, but did go a 1.33 60'

The thing that is just crazy about the car is how predictable it is. We make changes and see gains, duplicate the changes and see almost exactly the same gains. As far as consistency, Yeah we spun the tires 2x friday but both times we got after the tune up and we KNEW it would either run a BIG number or go up in smoke. With the limited number of passes on the car(11) we're still working the bugs out.
Sure there is soo much we need to learn but after 11 passes to have the car go 7.6x followed with similar tunes and go a 7.5x a full pass and than add power and go another 7.5 getting out @ 1000' it exceeded all of my expectations.
At this point in the game, we could care less about 1/4 mile racing. Right now its all about the 60'. We're going to spend 100% of our time concentrating on the first few feet of the track and figure these turbos out. Once we can get the car to 1.25 60' like Stacks car, we may see a LSx take the national drag radial record. Our 191 pass still had some 400-500hp left in the tuneup.
I'd also like to thank all my sponsors and help through out this project. You guys know who you are....See sig.
