While out of town, had Tim at Muffler King in Kirkland, build my new catback. One for the track and the other for general use.

Aug 4th the car goes to Tommy Wong to have it dynoed.

Magnaflow muffler setup: 8.5 lbs.
Resonator setup: 6.0 lbs.




The catback that was on the car: 18lbs.

This car is really turning out good. You have any pics of what the exhaust looks like from the outside? I think your square tips my have looked a bit better man

Car is ready for the strip.

New wheels came in to mount the drag radials on.



Back seat area carpeting is done.





Suspension and shocks set at baseline.





Car was driven round trip, 450 miles from Seattle down to Vancouver, WA. to Tommy Wongs shop. He tweaked the tune, car runs great. Going down, bumper to bumper traffic, 19mpg, coming back with no traffic, 24mpg. Temp stayed rock solid 180deg in stop and go traffic.

That is awesome man!

That gas mileage is insane as well!

What did you do with the carpet to make it fit so snug?
Do you plan on putting seats back in?

The carpet is just laying there, tucked in on the sides and has several snaps on the front of the back seat area. Undo the snaps and flip the carpet back.

No

Good night at the strip, car went faster and left well. Had top local driver run the car down the strip, Randy Johnson. http://www.championraceway.com/2011/...%20johnson.jpg Randy gave me great feed back and found out the car needs more rear gear. Only was able to get 2 runs in tonight. Will be going back tomorrow night to race with Randy at the wheel.

Thanks to Shawn (WS699) we have a video of our saturday night.

Went 3 rounds with Randy Johnson behind the wheel before getting eliminated in a double breakout. Car was consistant cutting 1.53X 60ft and 11.8X ET

We now have a good baseline, so next time out, I need to make a small change and see if it helps.

So with heads/cam/stall you are running 114mph in the 1/4? Am I missing something here?

Yes

We know what the issue is, but we are going to run the car, have some fun and learn. The change will be made in the off season.
