Default Getting close to the ¼
Still just might be able to make a date this year, but only maybe. Some family issues amongst other things have made getting to the track a bitch, and of course having the car apart... Anyway, real close to start up again and here's the new seats and stuff. Still waiting on some new products, have the Interface installed and waiting on a MicroEdge beta version and also a NX Style beta 90mm MAF dry plate; along with a HSW TB production DRY plate to replace some nozzles, but can run what i have, I think. So maybe, just maybe, if the gods are with me a 9.xx may still be possible this year?

That looks great Robert!

A couple of observations, if you don't mind.
  1. Be careful of the 90 degree AN fittings. They can reduce the flow considerably and they are not linear at different pressures. Try to use the swept ones if you can.
  2. Where is the extra fuel coming from? I don't see any fuel plumbing. Is all the extra fuel coming from the injectors?
I'm going try to do a spray run or two after the season is over if everything goes fine. Maybe we'll both get those single digit runs this year!

Thanks Don, yes I know about the hard 90°'s and use them only in certain places and up size them to negate the added restriction. It's a Direct port Dry running the stock PCM and the cars injectors add the fuel only while spraying utilizing a new product the Interface. Also there is a complete additional Parallel fuel system that kicks in with a WS when spraying to make sure stock system does not run out of room. Boy that would be sweet to get a nice run in, along with you and Mark, and I know Ellis is still headed that way.

Looks like Sep 12/13 is the next TnT @ Bremerton, with Sat Car Club. No TnT @ Pacific until Oct 18. I'm trying to get my clutch sorted out and then add a lil more b00st. Let me know if you're planning to do any data logging!

I forgot that you could also get intpo the 9.xx run if your clutch could get sorted. With the new 60's your getting and the power level, and of course alignment of the stars, well... I always log every run that I can, why?

Looks good Robert. Move the throttle linkage to the other side?

At the moment it doesn't look like I will make the last CCC race. But I still hope to get it out to run a 9.something this year. Wish in 1 hand & $hit in the other....

As was said, fly by wire, and thus the reason i don't have the TB right on the intake. It's not looking good at all for me at this point, and so few dates left, oh well, next year will be here before we know, then we'll kick some butt, right, lol? That way I will have everything just the way we want. I think i am ready to start smack talking next year any way, hehehe. I looked breifly, but didn't see any update threads on your car?

Droool....I hope to get it tuned & dyno it this year Robert, but at this rate I won't make a serious pass until next year. TH400 with a t-brake, work on the exhaust so I can lower the torque arm, buy some skinny LCAs so I can run fatter tires, get the cage installed.....still much to do before I can claim the #2 spot on the list.

Let the bench racing begin.
