New best in the Turbo Firehawk
Well after a crazy year of sorting out issues and crappy weather I finnaly got a chance to go to a nice track rental and make some hits on very well prepped track at MIR on Friday 11-11
I also want to thank Modular turbo for promptly shipping me an alternator bracket just in time to go to the rental
The set up
Forged 347
Diamond pistons
Callie's I beam rods
AFR 205 heads
Ported Vic Jr
VA speed cam
PT88
Rossler TH400
Yank 3400 stall
MWC rear with 3.25 gears
325 50 15 M&H radial
All passes were on 15psi
First pass off the trailer two step at 3400 rpm
60'- 1.531
330- 4.162
1/8- 6.358
mph- 117.52
1000- 8.073
1/4- 9.597
mph 147.79
Car felt like it bogged a little so I let the car cool down for a awhile and watch a buddy make some passes
Second pass two step at 3800
60'- 1.513
330- 4.121
1/8- 6.217
mph- 117.57
1000- 8.029
1/4- 9.563
mph 146.56
Car still felt like it bogged some on this pass and also hit the rev limiter on the 1-2 shift. Desided to drive over to the scales to see what the car weighs. I was blown away to see the that the car weighs 3620# with me in it. I really though I would have been sub 3500 with my in it.
Let the car cool down for an hour again and bumped the 2 step again to 4100 for my 3rd pass
60'- 1.545
330- 4.190
1/8- 6.321
mph- 116.08
1000- 8.145
1/4- 9.684
mph 146.26
Car left hard and I pulled the shifter halfway back into second on the launch so I pulled it the rest of the way back not wanting to hurt anything. So I shifted into 2nd early
Overall I was happy with my results from the day but I have a few things I wanted to go over before I making any more passes and my buddy I was there with was done for the day as well so desided to pack it up early and go home in 1 peice.
I want to go over the car again good and make at least 1 more trip out before putting the car away for the year.
