Maple Grove Raceway Saturday September 28. DA=+1260' Added solid motor mounts from Steve Spohn (we have been working on these for a while), put in suspension limiters and tightened the shocks to position 12.

60' 1.340
1/8 6.409
MPH 105.78
1/4 10.143
MPH 130.83

One thing that became apparant was that I still need some converter work. This run I short shifted second. The converter is stalling at 6000. Going to move it down by 700 rpm.

I also set a new best MPH: 10.175 @ 131.37

Sould have bracket raced. Ran 10.175, 10.174 and 10.175 three passes...

Maple Grove is typically 0.2 and 2 mph slower than Cecil County so I am expecting a good 9 second pass soon.

Congrats Mikey, glad to see you car running so well. 9' soon buddy. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Where did you get the suspension limiters, Summit? What is the part number?

I was thinking either solid motor mounts or a motor plate. What do you think? Do you need motor mounts at all with the plate?

Anyway sorry for all the questions but I figured I would ask the WHEEL STAND KING. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Good luck

Question...was that the front shocks you set to 12? I assume it was.

Barry, the pan works well! Weight of the care is 3340 with me in it. Still not a light weight.

The suspension limiters are home made. All parts from hardware store.

Front shocks are set to 12. Rears at 6.

Now you've got me thinking about my own combo again, and I'm going to play the tranny swap game again!

I guess it will be time to call Madman and bug him with suspension setup questions again. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Seriously though, congrats! Awesome 60' time. Glad you got the launch calmed down now.
