Default kicked out of the track today...

went to the track today for the first time with my new setup. i didnt really know what to expect but was hoping for the best. the car has stock k-member/a-arms, power steering/brakes, full interior--street car. car puts out 714whp at 15 psi through a th400. i didnt get to weight it in but i figure it to be about 3550 raceweight.

first pass off the trailer:
1.74 60' -left on no boost
6.45@117.25 -1/8th
9.833@138.19 -1/4
I was told no more 9 second passes after this since i only have a 6pt.

decided to just run the 1/8 mile for a couple passes and work on my 60'
ran a best of:
1.36 -60' leaving at 3800-probably around 8psi
6.01@116.4 -1/8th

I ended up cutting a best of a 1.347 60' but blew that pass.

last 2 passes i decided to go for the money shot and see what she had. first pass i spun bad but still managed a 9.6@143 with a 1.5 60'. the track was going away but i decided to get one more in. dropped the 2-step down to 3700 and went for it.

1.428-60'
6.04@116.69-1/8th
9.431@143.9 -1/4

after that i got cut off, but the track was hooking terrible and i was done anyways. it was a very good first day at the track and all i did was play with the 2-step/tire pressure. i was very happy with the 60's and the car defiently has a lot more in it with better air and more seat time.

Great times! Can you post your timeslips at all?

I'm curious what your 330' times were.

Thanks for posting your slip. Great times and nice 1/8 mph!

Good luck with the process to become track legal...it gets expensive and annoying. The tech guys seem to always find something new.

I completely forgot you were the person I sold my old th400 to!

Good to hear it is holding up well. I like the glide, but that th400 was great. Are you using that same stall?

i used that stall for when the car was n/a and it was perfect. i sent it back to Yank and had it restalled for the turbo setup tho.
