I will dude. Track times will be posted tomorrow night! only able to take it to about 13-14 psi max because of the fuel pressure, and i only can spin it to around 6K, but it will make for some decent shakedowns

Thinking of my fuel line, i have a -12 out of the bottom of my tank thats 90*, to magnafuel filter, to the pump then it gets reduced to -8 and the first fitting out of the pump is a 180* -8 fitting. Then it goes to second filter then to the passengers side back rail which i believe is also a 90*. So i only have 90* and 1 180* fittings in the -8.

Nice numbers btw let us know how much timing. I'd bet around 20lbs that turbo starts makin some serious power. Can you let us know what your IAT's are driving to the track tonight plus temps outside?

Im going to put a deck back in it with just the front 4 speakers. So maybe the whole system will weight 25-30 pounds max.

lol didnt catch that...gotta fix that before I confuse the crap out of someone.

and for those wondering about the weight...there is an awesome weight loss sticky in the drag racing area that should steer you in the right direction.




WS666, which track are you going to?

Im going to drive the car over to US41 in Morocco. Its about 90 miles from me, so will be a good test of the actual stretchability of it.

Did u check ur fuel filters, aso i believe the pre filter should be 100 microns and the post filter either 40 or 10, especialy since you switched to e85, it tends to loosen some of the dirt in your tank up, i switched a camaro over to e85 and then when i was tuning i was losing fuel pressure under wot, pulled the filter and sure enough it was terribly clogged...Im just sayin

Took the car to the track tonight. Unfortunately 1/4 mile track was suposed to get nail with rain at the last minute, so i went to another 1/8th mile track. First and formost i did not use the transbrake, or 2-step. Just launched around 2500RPM off the brake. Made about 1psi, or so was kinda hard to watch it off the line. eboost2 read 11 psi. Anywho here is the slip

1.7269-----60ft
4.5869-----330ft
6.8639-----1/8th
108.93-----MPH

Car still needs a lot these passes tonight gave me a really nice feel of the car and how it powers up. Both me and the car have a long way to go before any real serious passe will be made. Right know its just fun as hell

Also I drove the car 70 miles thier made 5 passes and drove 70 miles back which was really what i want this car to do. I think it gets about 10mpg or so. No definite average yet.

Nice, not bad for not making any boost off the line. Was it a slip and slide when the boost came on? I bet once again you were the talk of that redkneck *** track. Wish I could have been there. **** work. lol Tell me reggie got a few vids at least?

That mph is up there for that ET. Once you get the launch figured out, I think you'll be satisfied.

At the line the IAT was around 90-105. Driving it stays about 65-75. Around 10-20 degrees above the outside air temps.

Took the car to the track last night, nothing special just a few shakedown passes on the footbrake.

This passes was on 10 psi

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7Ziv1B6MA4


The car trapped 114mph on this one @ about 16psi

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chg-X...eature=related



Biggest problem now is blowing threw the converter with boost over 11 psi in the 5K plus RPMs. So still have a lot of **** to fix, but not terrible for the second time out. Hopefully 1/4 passes next sunday @ SCC
