It went 9.91 on low boost then turned it up and broke lol coasting from 1/8 on it went 9.66 at 122 haha went 124 in the 1/8 no 2step or trans brake its just a stock bottom end lq9 with a gt88 were gonna get it fixed and make some more passes in kc but are track closed down so probably go to topeka or stl

Haha same here. It went 9.97@142 on 14lbs, then we turned it up and broke 2nd gear. So I made one more pass shifting 1st to third and it went 9.20!!!!

I was thinking that car should be faster than that, good time even though u where handicapped.

What gear are u running?

thefastlife

iTrader: (14)

I think he is foot braking it by the looks of his 60ft his car should be deep in the 8's after his trans is fixed would be a good guess from me

3.27s Its hitting the limiter in third before the traps on 22lbs of boost.

How tall of a tire and what RPM/MPH?

89L98T56

iTrader: (8)

28" 6900 and I guess 155mph? no speedo in the car.

Nice car man, I saw you at 2K12. Made me want to go turbo instead of my nitrous build.

What converter are you using? Id be interested to see the slip % on 22lbs.

LS1PUNK

iTrader: (5)

Same here, I plan on going with 3.25 gear looking for mid 160's traps on 28" tire pulling to 6800rpm.

Sounds like there's alot of slip going on.

You too man, I tried to race you on the street after frankensteins meet but you said nopebecauseracecar5gallonfuelcell!!! lol

IDK the brand or anything, its a one piece 3800. Or so I was told.

How can you measure slip? And if it is slipping too much does that mean I need a tighter or looser converter?

LS1PUNK

iTrader: (5)

With the info u gave me I got 11.82 percent of slippage.

http://www.baycityrides.org/slippage.php?mode=calculate

Think of it this way, a well built converter may slip 4-5%, if yours slips 6-7% higher, you are baking the fluid, cooking the band, and compromising the clutches, and giving up mph and ET.

So that may have been the cause of me losing 2nd gear??? I lost 2nd slowly it got worse and worse slipping until finally it just goes straight to the limiter under boost in 2nd.

Also on the dyno when going from low boost to high boost, the dyno read a significant loss in MPH at redline in 3rd. It was like 140mph on low boost and 125mph on high boost.
