Was able to go out today again and have some fun with the car. As many know we went out about a month ago and went 9.86 138 on the 150 jets.
It was a great day today here in Sac, but it was abnormally hot, about 65-70 degrees compared to 50 or so when we ran that 9.86, so the first pass we had the 150s in again, it went 1.38 9.98 137, not to bad in the heat.
Put the 200 jets in it, 72 36 with the ngk 8s in it with a total of 16 degrees in it. Picked up 2 tenths and 3 mph and went...
1.36
6.20 @ 111mph
9.78 @ 140 mph
Nothing changed, still 3400 lbs still stock heads still stock bottom end and this FTI converter keeps shining.
Thanks to Harris Speed Works for all the help and hard work, they are the best in the business. Also thanks to FTI, my tuner Mark Romans and everybody else that has helped along the way. I want the cold weather to come back!

The next build we will build our own standalone low pressure system, just not needed in our eyes right now.

Haha for the last couple days it has been, for about the past month it has been gloomy and rainy, finally spring is coming!
BTW figured out why it left to the left, we remembered the only non adjustable suspension piece on the car are the lcas, and when we had it scaled we were off by an 1/8 of inch, so when it wheelstood and only had the rear tires steering it thats why it went left. Nice easy fix.

to avoid this, you want to contact a converter builder and have them build you the best converter for what you want to do.

Correct it doesn't lock up but it's a way of explaining it. But thank you I think we cab as well. We are planning to take around 200 PBS out of it when we do the cage so hopefully that will help.

I can't tell you for sure. But we were off on on na times just about the same as our nitrous times. The air was lacking oxygen so even though we are creating more oxygen in the motor it still has less because of the da. I donno if that makes sense as at all. But im going with it. Haha.

Awsome times cam! can't wait to get my fti 3800 installed! I have been holding off because I can't decide if I should build my a4 or just run the stall on the stock 13k mi

That video sounds like nitrous is turning on and off. Had it happen to me first time out with n2o. My car shifts at 5700 on motor and with any pill less than 6400 in the window switch it will turn off.

Better DA can help alot. We dropped .1.5-.2 in the 1/8 from 90* to 65* from 5.5X -5.3X same nitrous jets. The heat can do alot to the tune not just because of intake airt temp. Not everyone will see these gains but this was from a pretty good tune on 2 different race days with the same nitrous jet . the car just excepted more fuel and more timming in the colder weather. Fuel + timming =hp..... well until it detonates LOL.

Does it normally leave pretty straight? looks like it drove a little right with the wheels up. we had that happen once with a few weight reductions~20lbs and the rear had moved a little to the right with the car sitting up a little in the back. the Panhard bar being adjusted to perfectly center the rear is a huge deal in getting these cars to hook on a crappy track. any side move ment can cause it to break loose.
car looked good and the exhaust looked pretty clean( tells alot about the tune) I only saw 2 small puffs. car is making good power with that mph.
