Drag Racing Results - 9.6@143 Turbo T56, first shakedown pass.

Finally got my car to the track to get some shakedown passes done and get some data. I've never really setup a car like this so all my launch settings were kind of a guess but at least it left and went down the track straight!

Here is the setup for those who haven't seen my build thread in the drag racing section:

01 Z28
Precision "pro mod" 91mm turbo
iron 408
tfs heads
comp shelf turbo cam
Motec M800 ecu
G-Force T-56 Trans
Tilton metallic 4 disc clutch
Strange s60 3.52 rear
cheapo moroso shocks/stock springs
umi torque arm

60 ft was bad at 1.40, but this was my first hit so it will get a lot better from here once i dial in the boost and launch control. Boost was set to a conservative 11 psi in all gears just to get a feel for the car and make sure it went straight. Before i made the pass the brakes seemed to be locking up on me randomly like the line lock wasnt turning off and were doing it more often after the pass so i decided to call it quits in case something was about to let go on the brakes and went back to the shop. Turned out to just be the cheap line lock switch was sticking so thats an easy fix.

Here is a pic of the car at the track and an in car video of the run.

very awesome run, nice Z28

11psi what's that about 900ish hp?

Yea probably somewhere in the 850-900 range.

that kind of whp on nitrous sure worked better than that.

but I am sure you will get it dialed in.

woow man really wish you the best.
i was looking for updates from you with your other thread .

what rpm did you set the 2 step.

i remember seeing that supra on youtube, and now you have a beast z28. thats pretty awesome!

It even look like by the first video that you let out before the end of the quarter too! Awesome runs! Looks like it is a very solid setup!

that kind of whp on nitrous sure worked better than that.

but I am sure you will get it dialed in.

Not sure what you mean with the nitrous comment..

It was my first pass in the car it will get better. i let off early in that run, spun all the way through 1st, shifted slow, front brakes dragging, etc. Next pass at the same power level i bet would have gone at least a bottom 9 at 150.

Nice run for a first shakedown with low boost, slow shifting and shutting off before the trap....:cool:

8 second car eventually...

Congrats on the maiden voyage Darin!

The audio is not in-sync with the video for the in-car video, that makes it hard to figure out what's actually happening.
