Terry, let me get this straight you are running 127 mph @ a raceweight of about 3,250 lbs @ a DA of 2,000+ ft, according to a simple math equation that means your "heads/cam combination" is making approximately 550 hp - and you say your not spraying and have a 346 cid motor, hmmm? That's the equivalent of making about 480 rwhp thru a M6! Damn you've got one helluva set up there!

I ran 127mph at a raceweight of 3220# in a DA of 1200'. I put down 446rwhp. Those are all facts, not "approximate" calculations. Any formula that says I need over 446rwhp to run 127mph with the above specifications is wrong. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
JS: Not planning on it. I hate driving 2.5 hours to the track, I don't see myself driving 24 hours each way. If you're really interested in racing with me, let's set up something 1/2 way between the East and West coast.

Re: (sigh) another new best... Most of the ET calculators I've seen say they use rwhp but, they seem to give a better approximation of flywheel power. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
The one I used says you have ~515 flywheel hp to go 127+ which works out pretty good with your 446rwhp dyno.
It also says you could run a 10.6X with that much power at your weight so your car must not be tweaked to perfection yet. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Good job. That car is definately haulin. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: (sigh) another new best... Maybe I can get MMS to sponsor the trip and take a few of their cars out. I wouldn't mind flying out if someone else could tow the car there. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> [/QB][/QUOTE]

Re: (sigh) another new best... Congrats Terry.. I was down in the area. Ended up going to Disneyland with the Girlfriend Thurs, Fri and Sat and saw a thing on Irwindale about a shooting there on Thurs night and was thinking to my self, Dam I could have been racing instead of watching Mickey <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> My girlfriend would of had my *** if I did that though..

I figured out that the stock injectors were not keeping up, so I swapped the 42's back in and loaded an injector offset table that Chris Bennight worked up for me. All of the idle/part throttle driveability probs I had before are totally gone. Now I just need to dial in the WOT A/F ratio.
