We had a nice weekend so a few of us went out and hit the track up. Some of you know the b.s. iv been through with the car lately but the help has shown, lol. First pass off the trailer and leaving off idle it went 10.33@138, then i started to get after it. Set 2-step at 3000 which makes about 5lbs of boost and max boost around 13lbs and went 9.24@150 (new best time!), turned the 2-step to 3500 which gets me around 10lbs on the 2-step and turned the boost up to 17lbs and thats when i found the limits of the track. 9.35@150 and 9.42@150 were the following passes.

The new suspension and converter made a huge difference and the car goes straight as a arrow and 1 hand on wheel and other shifting is no problem at all so that made driving the car effortless! So i MAY change tires from the radial pro to something more forgiving on a less-then-ideal track but not sure. But for what is most likely the last passes of the year i got a damn good pass in, lol.

It's hard to say, the track prep wasn't the best by any means but they were still working decent for the most part. I think the next time around I'm going to buy the pro bracket radial.

Nice work man! Makes me that much more excited to get my national done! I wanna get a 2 step set up but I have now clue how any of that works...

How much does your car weigh?

The 2-step is simple, plugs into each coil pack and you either trigger it by ground switch or 12v switched. Then the dial ***** on it adj what rpm, very very simple. As far as weight I'm 3090 race weight

Nice Job! Congrats.
Stout performance for just 13 lbs?

I run the 9x28 pro bracket radials. When the spin they shudder pretty hard but keep on going. Air pressure prob would help that. I run between 16-17 psi.
By the looks of your sidewalls, I'd say you were trying pretty low pressure?
I do think the pro brackets will last longer.

Yea I had the tires down to 17lbs cold so maybe 19lbs after the burnout, just trying all I could to try and work. They didn't totally blow the tires off but deff begging for life, lol. I definitely want to run the 10.5x28 pro radial and see the difference for sure.

Thanks, just trying to keep up with the Benjamins (black fbody crowd), lol.

Awesome man & love your build!!! So are you just foot braking on the 2 step, no trans brake?

Lookin good! Seems like you could hit the tire harder, the car actually squats if you slow it down to .25 and watch it.

iTrader: (32)

No, on trans brake with 2-step set to 3500 rpm

Yea I have to tune suspension a lot more but wasn't able to get a lot of runs in due to people crashing on track. Only got 4 runs in that day. Come spring I have to get with Eric@MWC on a track day and have him help me set it up right.

Which converter and stator? Solid runs

Did you lift on the 17psi? Same mph as the 13?

Taubr Unit

iTrader: (32)

Billet 9.5 ptc converter, not sure of stator. I didn't lift at 17psi, just spun more but able to power down the track to make up for it. Can't wait to hook on 17psi and see what it'll really do.

Talked to Dusty. It's a 16 blade stator.

damn good running car. should be able to get an 8 with some more traction . sweet

you run at 41? I was there a few weeks ago with my truck (just messing around). Watched 2011 Z06 slam off of both walls (driver was slamming the car into the rev limiter on stock tires). Can't wait to see you iron this thing out. Maybe we will run into eachother, I should have my 98 SS there next summer making a few passes.

Wow you've come a long way with that car, congrats man!

Yea that's where I'll mainly run, new track and long shut down makes for a good trip. Once they get more rubber down it'll be a killer track!


Thanks! It's been a LONG time in the making but it definitely paid off! Weird how a well planned out car works so well vs thrown together junk, lol.
