It's getting there. Next time out going to start playing with the second stage.

 

Bitch is movin!

 

Looks like it has pretty good "pickup".

What is the setup? I don't remember.

 

Well, went a bit faster on a slower 60'..

9.24@142mph with a 1.41 60' - 5.87@118.4 in the 1/8
Had a 143mph and a 144mph on another pass with only 116mph in the 1/8. I melted the N20 line about the 1100' mark. Thought I had a tire going on me. scary trying to shut down lightly at 140mph..

13-1 418" wearing PRC 237 heads, 254/260 hyd cam with a plate kit.

 

Very nice. What does that beast weigh and what are you doing for a converter?

 

It's a bit lighter than most think, 3120lbs full tank of e85, full 15lb N20 bottle and me in it (200lbs). But the aero is horrific

On Motor, converter goes to 5k if held on the t-brake WOT. With the 2-step set to 3,500, it will flash to 4,600 NA.
With a 175 hit - at the line = 5,600 + 1-2 shift = 7k shift /6k recovery
With a 300 hit - at the line = 6,000 + 1-2 shift = 6,900 shift /6,300 recovery

Converter is too loose for this much spray, let alone the 400 that will be going on it. I will be sending it out to get tightened a little (300rpm).

I may also have to address the gear since the radial does not grow. Right now 7,100 = 144mph (3.90 + 30" radial + 11%ish slip). Motor make peak HP NA at 6,900-7k. I am hoping with the converter being tightened up some, that I don't need a 3.73 for 150mph, but we will see. Don't really want to spin it past 7,300 with this cam as it just isn't making any more power.


Heck, I have been toying with the idea of selling it too..

 

Not only would I tighten that converter up at least 500 rpms but also consider a slick that would grow. Nitrous just makes so much torque and you need to capture that if you're gonna do a 400 shot....9 ohs @ 148 could be had with that barn door...
