congrats Darren

I'm glad with some seat time the car is really starting to show it's real potential.

 

Big thanks to you Larry and the rest of the guys at Speed Inc. None of this would be possible without you guys. I'll be in touch over the winter to pick up a drag bar. Besides a drag bar the only other mods over the winter will be a more weight reduction and possibly rework my exhaust setup. I might have you guys strap her to the dyno again to freshen up the tune and see if she's gained any power with the lighter drivetrain mods. I'm going to try take this SI5 into the 10s next year!!!

 

What size tire were you running? Those are some great times for your power. My clutch locked up on me that day. Never made a clean pass. I am very dissapointed. It was my first time out with the 2-step. Only made one whole shot with it and the clutch would not dissengage for the 1-2 shift. Then it locked up on the next burnout for good.

 

Thanks, I'm running 28x10.5-15 stiffwalled ET Drags. I didn't see you at Byron, what time were you there?

 

I got there about 10 and was done by 12:30.

 

Silver Z on prostars????? thats cuz he was there Sunday with us i think ?????

Rob

 

That was me. I was there Sun. Well at least till 1. Then just the car till 4. lol.

 

Yea i saw your car run looks like you have a nasty bog to work out. Did you see mine make a pass????

 

I did not see any cars run. Only from the staging lanes did I see a couple cars. I wanted to see your car run. There were quite a few cars there that could get down. I need to race more often so I can stay in rythm. But this time it was more of a mechanical issue.

Yeah, it bogged because I was just learning to use the 2-step and needed more time to kick up the rpms. I launched at 6k at the highest and managed a 1.59 60'. Then it would not let me shift into 2nd. But I am confident I could have seen 1.4X 60s with more RPMs.

 

all you do is mat the gas on the 2nd yellow to the floor with the gas pedal lol. You should come to RSD this friday night to me make some passes

 

One day I hope to actually participate in RSD. I just need a full day of clean racing...which is what I was hoping for yesterday.

 

I did that, but it was set at 6k and must not have been enough cause it bogged to 2800rpm.

 

No just come to watch its a good time. and i will show you my setup and how it get's down lol.

 

what kind of ram air do you have on that car...

 

I dont think he has one yet this would be a good test car chris lol

 

Right now I just have an SLP lid with the filter removed and their steel scoop that sits in front of the radiator. I don't think it flows all that well. Why do you ask?

 

cuz when i added his ram air to my car i picked up 1.5 mph in the 1/4 and you may aswell with your setup.

 

Thats a great pass. Congrats

 

Congrats on the NB your car is getting down. I made a couple runs at Byron on the 25th and the car was twisting so bad I called it quits after a couple passes. Results were 11.193 @119 1.48 sixty
11.103 @119 1.46 sixty
UMI bar has been ordered.

 

Nice pass man. I can't wait to throw a cam in this thing.

What rockers and lifters are you guys running?
