Cool FINALLY!! have some results to post-Not a LS

.

They loaded out of order, too lazy to redo them.
This was with a broken coil over & bad gear, but I finally got the new fogger working.

Very cool. I always wanted to see more pics of your car. Looks like a wild ride!

Got any pics of the inside or motor?

All I can say is FINALLY!!!!

Thanks, the engine is going to be a disappointment, to be honest.
I borrowed the bracket engine from one of my other cars. This is not my T/S engine.
It's a mild BBC with a fogger.

The numbers are a little embarrassing, but here goes.

1.15 5.15 136-37 1st pass was best pass, as the fluid leaked out, it ran worse.

Only with a broken coil over?!?!?!?

Usually the car never moves or wiggles. Nice & straight 90% of the time.

Thanks guys. It's coming, I was just disappointed & a little embarrassed.
I had a bunch of buddies with fast cars come watch.
I actually had a great day. The new fogger worked perfect every pass.
I expected too much, too soon. Fix 1 problem at a time.

Well, with 66 in your back yard I am sure you'll be back testing and tuning soon.

First pass in a long time, or first pass, and you drove it back on the trailer!!

1st 1/8 mile pass' since I fixed the electrical issues.
Made about 30-40 attempts late last fall, but never got the N2O to engage.
Car winched right in the trailer, so yes, it was a great day at the track.
Just not the results I hoped for.
I made 2 squirts at Byron last month and everything worked fine.

New gear is here, and I'll finish up checking the coil overs, 4 link, wish bone & anti-roll asap.
If I find an issue, hopefully we'll drag it back out in a week or 2.
