408/TH400/S480 shakedown with vid's
Well,
Took too many 3am nights to count in the last couple of weeks, and insane amount of hours over the past 2 years, but the car made it's shakedown passes yesterday and we are still alive!
It was HOT yesterday, around 91* on my best pass.
1st pass off trailer:
1.41 60'
6.2 1/8
Let out before 1/4 to check the car out
2nd pass:
*line lock wiring gave me problems
*tire shake
1.7 60'
6.7@112
10.4@134
Last pass was dead in the heat:
60': 1.41
1/8: 6.2@111
1/4: 9.83@133
WAY faster than we were expecting!
This was done on:
275/60/15
3640 raceweight
7lbs off the wastegate only
2500rpm 2step on the trans brake
19psi in tires
DA: 2500
I NEVER thought it was going to just hook and book like that on the 275s either. Hahahaha
