Launching!
Thread Starter
Time will tell. I would love to go and will plan on it at this time but it will really depend on how we are running with our bikes. If we are running well I will head down for the weekend since it is not to far away from me. I'm looking forward to playing with the car in cooler weather.

Great build Eddie and thanks for all of the sharing even though are so busy with everything else.
In the post you made below you stated the car is 2250lb but I am assuming that is a typo. Is it 3250lbs? Also, what turbo was used for the run you listed below? The 88mm?

Hey Guys
Sorry for no updates and slow on posting stuff. I have a ton of things to post about including changes and updates on the car but just have not had time. I have to put racing my bike first and we have been struggling to get the tune ups right on our bikes so that has taken all my free time up.
However I can say I've made a good bit of runs on the car and it is coming around. I have had it set up very soft so I can learn how to drive and tune the thing. I want to make sure I'm 100% with it all and not be the guy who builds a really nice car but wrecked it. Not many may understand how fast they can get out from under you and be in the wall before you even know what happen and I'm not looking to be one of them guys.
The most it has seen has been 14lbs of boost. The car weight is X275 legal at 2250 lbs has been 4.85 @ 152 to date. Anyone who has looked at the runs have been quite shocked on well it has ran for the tune up in it. On the last 6 runs it has been 1.22 - 1.24 sixty foot each lap staying very smooth.
My current tune up in it has been
Leave - 4200 RPM with 4 lbs of Boost
Ramp time vs boost #'s are
.3 sec - 4 lbs
.6 sec - 5 lbs
.9 sec - 6 lbs
1.2 sec - 8 lbs
1.5 sec - 9 lbs
2.0 sec - 12 lbs
2.3 sec - 14 lbs
So I'm very happy with the results and think it will go 4.6's with ease and should have not much of an issue going into the .50's @ 160 +
I just pulled the engine last week and dropped it off at Billy Briggs shop to inspect. Nothing was wrong with it all other then I wanted to have it all inspected now that it has 20+ runs on it. I want to be safe and that was the plan from start. July and August are hot and I'm away racing most weekends so it is the perfect to do it. It never hurts to make sure everything is working the way it should.
Dragzine will have a big write up coming out shortly and I will be sure to post a link. Once I get a chance I will update this thread with a bunch of info and video. Thanks again for everyone asking for info updates so I will be sure to get something written up as soon as I can.

I figured that was the case. Pretty good numbers so far. I don't think there are many people running a single 88mm turbo with that size of engine so wondering how much more boost he is expecting. Also hoping he will share some specifics on the turbo like model, turbine size and turbine housing A/R. With almost a 450ci engine I would think it would need to be pretty big to keep the hot side pressure near 1:1.
