that's some damn good runs,esp with a 101 and low boost.Good luck on your quest to 200,but hopefully we beat you to it

 

That's alright, when you're done shooting for 200 you can come tune on ours!!!

 

boost+carb+me=

 

Me too!!

 

Won't be any "shooting for 200", we've got a powerplant that will get us there. When she fires on all 8, we dial the boost to 30# and get a clean pass we'll all see 200+.

 

Sounds good to me! You got all the brain power behind you. We're just a couple dummies reading plugs, and changing carburetor jets like they did 30 years ago.

 

****, get 8 EGTs and a wideband on that sucker. 197 on 21# with a 91, its got 200 in it easy.

 

Congrats to Chris and Jim That is moving down the track!

 

Chris,
What was your best ET?

Kurt

 

Arent blow thru turbo setups about the hardest thing to get correct? Sure seems like it would be, Im a laptop guy, not a screwdriver guy!

 

I've seen 7.70's

 

7.70 coupled with 197 is going to end up very quick when they get the front half working.

Kurt

 

Well Guys next week end is OUTLAWS AT ATCO a 1/4 mile race. I am sure we can see 200 if the track will hold it.

 

Well, we went 7.73 at 197 and change last night at Milan Heads up... 1.400 60 foot. I think we'll have the 60' figured out for the shootout... baby steps.

 

opps saturday atco 1/4 race rained out

 

Jim's car looks good from the 330 on, sounds like its going to rotate the earth.
I have never seen so much VHT or oil put on one track in a single day!! I left at 1:00am and they had just run 2nd round...... Great job by Milan keeping the track working.

Kurt

 

Thanks Kurt. It's a little violent not having but a 2 stage boost controller with a digiset.... it all comes in real hard at once about 1.8 seconds into the run.... like a bomb goes off. Slowly trying to bring it in but you know how that goes.

Milan did a great job for us all. It sure is nice to have a track like that around here.

 

I have a question being new to all this LSX stuff why is Filipowski's car running almost 200 mph with a stupid blow thru carb and all the other guys are still back at 190? Fuel injection is really the way to go. I've seen the diversity of cars (LSX Wise) at the track but Chris U. and Filipowski's Set up looks very prehistoric, lets face it the car is a TURD to the 300 ft mark then it turns into a animal. Chris U. is this your First LSX engine? I went to your website and all I have seen is fast N/A stuff nothing like Jims car. I think I have read something about some Procharger engines. So if you can make this kinda of power boosted, what is possible HP level wise with a carb, 400+ inch N/A street car style engine with a $10,000.00 Limit? Good Luck on making that White Car to the 200 MPH zone , it obvious the chassis works it looks like its hooked to a string.
Thanks for any info Chris U. if I build a new LSX combo I'd really like the worlds fastest blowthru engine builder on my side.
Thanks

 

The mph don't mean much. We're still only ET'ing as much as the chassis and tire allow us to. Lets face it we're all working with similar parts and capability if the other guys needed to run 195+ they would.... they don't need to, unfortunately we do right now.

The engine is just an engine. With this deal it just needs to live. That's all that matters.

Carbs make power but are very difficult to control, and the blow thru stuff is super sensitive to weather changes. But if you can harness it the carb will be real fast.... the wet manifold has its pluses and neg's for a boosted application, but for power, I think it has more pluses.

I'm not going to get sucked into the internet game with these guys. These guys are real fast, and these guys here are who we built the LSX combo for to compete with, and with civility, and fun first and foremost. I ain't going to get overly confident, nor into any pissing matchs, .... it's going to hopefully be some very good racing come October.

 

Glad to have you Chris.
