well I didn't post anything all last season because I had the year from absolute hell as my fellow mods will tell you all after seeing what i went through with my car last year, it was enough to make anyone want to quit racing. I did get a 10.0 out of it end of last year on the only track trip i didn't have some lame problem and not even make it off the starting line.
tonite we packed up and went to GLD. air was good, track was a bit hairy but we managed. car was DEAD consistent..made 7 passes, all of them 10.0-9.90's. we kept messing with the tune here and there and also the suspension and the rpm on the 2 step.
made most passes off the transbrake with a harlan 2 step wired to it. since really no clean passes last year it took me a few passes to get things really situated with the shiftlight, etc. and the track was kinda slippery after the 60 foot, had to do some fancy driving a few times..
Last pass of the nite we started getting somewhere as it was the best:
60 foot: 1.40
1/8:6.294
1/8mph:109.91
1/4: 9.90
MPH: 135.54
came so close to the 9.8x et and 1.3x sixty foot i was hunting for tonite, i bet we could have got it if the staging lanes hadn't closed and we couldn't run it anymore.
got some good vids..I'll see about getting the last pass posted up.
ran the car on 112 leaded, car seemed to like AFR of mid to low 11 range..new twin external fuel pump setup i built last month performed flawlessly. IAT's were awesome..120's all nite long..opening up the front bumper and me building an aluminum box to seal the intercooler to the bumper seems to have done the trick..i was seeing 50 degrees more IAT in similar weather last year..
Not sure on the boost level, never looked at the guage..but i didn't change anything from last year in that regard so 10-11 psi is all it was seeing most likely. I think I can get a 9.70 out of the car the way it sits without hunting for more boost, etc.
