Nice. Good work there

How are you making out Brian? Engine looks great!

5.5 @ 136 yesterday in the 1/8 on a very conservative tuneup. I have a converter-rear gear ratio mismatch causing alot of high boost slip....

 

That is moving!

 

How much are you looking to pick up with the changes?

 

dunno...we're still evaluating data...

do know the following:

car will easily run to 8K
car makes boost ALOT faster on footbrake and transbrake (we're considering going back to my bigger turbine A/R housing
converter was 90% efficient at 1-2 shift (7800) and was only 75% efficient thru the traps....gearing is really wrong

 

Holly crap, 5.5 at 136 is great. What gears are you running - 3.50's? Maybe your car is wanting to be run in 1/4

5.0's at 145+

 

^ What springs did you switch to? I remember you were having some problems with the 1.46 diameter (from what I roughly remember) PAC beehive springs.

What is the elbow you are using? Is it a 100 or 110*? I want to run a super vic on my Formula, but I may end up running a vic jr purely for clearance reasons. I bought an extra stock hood so I could cut it up, but I don't want it to poke through the hood.

 

3.40s

 

big manley nexteks...not sure which ones shawn put in there exactly...

not sure what the elbow angle is...its an off-the-shelf wilson manifolds elbow.

 

that would be nice

need to so something about the 9.5:1 air fuel ratios in parts of the fuel map

 

Awesome car! I'm looking forward to seeing it this year!

 

Looking good brian....

Looks great, you should be on the way to some fast times this year for sure!!!

 

So sweet. I love your build man. I would love to eventually get my setup in the 5.40 range.

Good luck with it man!
