Default Few passes from NvsS yesterday

It was hot, humid and sunny yesterday. I didnt have my TAG but I'm sure the DA was well over 3500' but I ran better then I expected. I was going to bracket race the car so I left it rich and took out some timing - why beat it bracket racing on a hot day.

1st pass on the video was me testing the rev limiter in both 1st and 2nd gear.

Ran 10.14 @ 134.9 best with a 1.440 60' with 14 degrees of timing and 11.8-12:1 a/f so thats no too bad 2nd pass on the vid was the 10.14.

But I did win the bracket race, my kid wanted a trophy so I got one for him, 3rd pass on the video was 2nd round, hit the brakes before the line so the mph wasnt there.

Made 11 passes total, pretty rough for a supercharged car in the heat but it did just fine. Might be a while before the video shows up.

Cool meeting you and everyone else yesterday, not a bad turnout considering the weather.

My only frustrating thing of the day was the Y-pipe kept blowing off and I was getting a litle pissed about it - gotta fix that

What size pulleys are you running. I just got my sdce set up with a 3.4 and was looking for 13psi but I'm only seeing about 10psi.

Thumbs up

That's pretty impressive in the heat Kevin. 12psi in that weather is an easy 15psi on a cool fall day. Your car is really going to fly when the weather cools off.Steve
