Finally got to make a few passes on the 150 shot last night. Pretty pleased with the results considering I have a couple of areas to work on to better take advantage of the combination. Learned a couple of things and will make some tweaks on the window switch settings and possibly some small adjustments on the suspension. Also, as expected I'm on the rev limiter before I go through the traps.

Now , on to the track passes! I need to work on getting the nitrous to come on right when I leave. Seems to be a slight delay before it hits ( I played with the window switch settings some) still need to work on that. I want it to hit the tires while the suspension is in motion and help plant the tires. Right now its coming in a couple of feet out and allowing the car to unload some, and then tries to "knock" the tires off

As expected, I am also on the rev limiter before the end of the 1/4. Just depends on how hard it knocks the tires off determines how soon I'm on the limiter on the other end. Out of four passes, the distance where I had to lift to stay off the limiter was any where from say 30' to as much as a good 100'

Made four passes, weather in the low 90s and down in the mid 80s after sunset and humid as hell. DA probably in the 1600-1800 ft range.

Car is knocking the tires off so I'm not getting much gain in my 60 ft times (when I get my suspension tweaked in and the hit coming in sooner) the car will be more impressive with a decent 60 ft that I know it is capable of. For a heavy *** car ( 3775 lb raceweight) it has some potential even on the 150 shot.

1st pass- 10.73 @ 128.06 mph on a horrible 1.72 60 ft. 1/8th mile was 6.96 @ 104.77 mph (knocked the tires off pretty hard)

2nd pass- 10.37 @ 131.04 mph on a better but not good 1.55 60 ft. 1/8th mile was 6.64 @ 105.21 mph.

3rd pass- 10.53 @ 129.98 mph on a 1.60 60 ft. the 1/8th mile was 6.82 @ 105.88 mph

4th pass- 10.37 @ 131.58 mph on a 1.61 60 ft. the 1/8th mile was 6.67 @ 106.48 mph

My average pass on motor in this heat is usually around 11.30- 11.40 @ 120.00 on a 1.65-1.68 60 ft. So, as you can see I am not gaining much at all in the 60 ft times on the spray. If I can get it to 60 ft in the 1.40s I should easily run 10.0s- 10.10s.

I am also losing time on the big end when on the limiter

I think I should be able to get some 9.90s fairly easily if I get these two issues lined out.

I'm stoked, it was a blast! Car felt really good on the spray. Not too bad for a 3800 lb heavy "Pig" hehehe!

 

Some good passes. Low 10s feel pretty good eh?

 

Yes, they do
I've read a bunch of your posts. Really like your car, always cool to see something different. Looks like we have very similar times on motor and on the nitrous hits. Cant wait for the weather to cool down a bit and try to get some low 11.0s on motor (maybe even a 10.99) and would love to crack a 9.99 on the spray. Just need to make some adjustments on the next outing!

 

I am going to take a shot at that this winter myself. I have my formula all mapped out.

 

That's where I'm hoping to be - next time out. Converter was off 1st time out

 

Your car looked good! What gear are you running? How do you like the 4L80E so far? I was afraid mine would slow my car down, but it didn't at all Looks like the ole car moved out good with the 6spd too, that's cool I like rowing some gears, just harder to be consistent.

 

4.11's for now - didn't want to change to much.

I like the junkyard 80 - but I miss banging gears. We'll see what it does with a converter that stalls higher than 3300rpm and slips less than 13% on the big end. That A4 pass has a 1.65 60ft and a a 7.0 1/8th :x and it still ran 10's

 

Looking good. Work on that 60 ft and it will be all smiles.

 

Yep, gonna work on that for next trip. I just ordered a NOS mini progressive controller from ya'll yesterday, I will get that installed hopefully this weekend. I really want to see some 1.4x 60 ft times and reap the benefits of a good launch,
