Welp, got her all up and running and got a decent tune in her monday!!! Luckily I had off work today and I brought her out to moroso for some shakedown runs even though the weather was garbage (as well as the track)! Night started off 1900+ DA and by the end of the night it was just under 1800! First run off the street:
1.722
4.787
7.306
97.94
9.476
11.313
121.31
And I was skatin the whole way down the track but stayed in it and kept her goin as straight as possible.
Next run (pretty much a hot lap 6:42pm)
11.697 @ 119.72 1.79 60' (*** end came out mid track and had to let out, got back in and kind of went sideways again and then featherd it the rest of the track).
Third run (6:59pm)
Decided to try the right lane since left wasn't hooking and upped my shift point a little and went off footbrake to try and not spin: 11.378 @ 122.83 1.735 60' (picked up mph but still spun bad and skated down track!)
4th run (7:22pm)
Went off footbrake again, raised shift point again, still spun pretty bad and skated down track, but picked up mph: 11.333 @ 123.22 1.717 60'
5th run (8:00pm)
They actually decided to prep the track a little and this was my best run of the night. Went off the transbrake and actually caught some ok traction and could stay in it the whole time without skating down the track and raised shift point a little again:
1.663
4.729
7.242
98.08
9.405
11.235
123.42
Backed that up with a couple more 11.2x's in the mid 123 range and also an 11.4x in the mid 121 range because I skated down the track again! It's freakin hit or miss with moroso, it's so hard to test and tune there, it sucks!!
But I am very happy and pleased with how she ran, especially in this godawful weather!!! She's got a lot more in her, and i'm gonna get her on a dyno tomorrow to see exactly where I should be shifting her, but I got my best runs around 7300 - 7400, that's what she seems to like! But all in all, she did really good, especially considering she's built and geared for big spray and I couldn't be happier, she's gonna be a beast on the juice, and I should have a 10 second car on motor if I can get her hookin!!!
My buddies Dave (Blueballszz) and Brian (think his name is Mechman on here) built me a badass motor and I couldn't be happier, thanks guys!

Still NO excuse whatsoever. I couldn't believe the guy in the Nova saved it on the track on his license runs........spun in the center of the track and didn't hit any walls but he came close.

My true attest to this track not being taken care of as it was the last few years with Jay will be in the winter when it's alot drier out.
I can see them saving the time and labor and cost to prep due to rains........but for god's sake when you have fast cars making license runs that should be a clue you need VHT!
They have been having issues down before the 1/8th the last few times I've been there seeing cars get all out of shape and squirrely.

I've never had much confidence in our temp gauges. Mine always reads higher than the motor actually is. I wouldn't worry too much about it, but you could lower the fans a little and see if that makes a difference.
