Well I finally got the car out before the end of the season. To be honest, I'am happy with the run, especially for my first time racing this car at the track. I was on some ET Streets and foot braking making around 3psi at the line. I tried to rev the car, but ended up pushing through the brakes...reason for the red light. Also, it was pretty damn cold and I didn't drop the tire pressure all that much. Ended up with a 2.2 60 ft. The car is on 9psi w/ stock 10 bolt. Adding another fuel pump and taking the boost up next year. But for now here you go.

 

Don't want to be the first one to say it but....slow.


You need a real rear in there so you can launch the car!

 

There's some things that need to be done. But hell, this was my first time to track and first time for a burn out. Hoping to upgrade the rear over winter and add more boost.

 

If you can get it to launch, you ought to be able to get into the 11's with that car. I'd work on the launch first. More boost won't really help if you can't get the power to the ground.

 

The tires actually hooked well. I couldn't build that much boost at the line. Kept pushing through the brakes. I didn't get any wheel spin either. But I do need to get it out of the hole. If I could have gotten a decent 60ft...1.5 or so. I know the car would have been in the low 11's. So the power is there.

 

10 bolt is fine with a auto. I went 1.6 on one with 373 gears in it for 2 years. also. wtf. 9 lbs and trapped 116? who tuned it? a head cam 376 minus boost should be trapping more than that I would think.

nice car though.

 

Well I am racing with altitude...4400ft above sea level. The company who built the motor also tuned it. They are well known and very reputable. We actually compared my setup to a 5th GEN Camaro with a Procharger....tuned by another shop on the same boost. He was on street tires, but ran 13.3-13.5 @ 112. The shop that tuned mine, just made over 900rwhp out of a procharged ZO6 on 10psi with belt slip. Plus there are a handful of 1000hp cars they tuned as well. I have to run more boost to make power unlike some of the guys here that are at sea level on the same boost as me. It blows, but what can you do. Hell H/C guys here are only making around 400hp and trapping below 110. But thanks for props on the car. Have a ton to still do.

 

Sounds like you got a kick *** setup there, its just gonna take some time to get it were it should be. No big deal, good runs and nice car man!

 

Thanks SweetC5.

 

You should do full disclosure on future threads... I was thinking wtf until you posted the Altitude... if the DA is that high your times are much better than they appear.

 

Even at that altitude that seems slow. What is the d/a @ 4400ft altitude? I could see your times be right if the d/a would be like 8000+.

 

lol harsh. But i think your right......sweet ss keep working on it.

 

I didn't know about that altitude, makes a little more sense now.

Keep making tweaks and get that 60' down, you'll be in good shape then!

 

Ya I should have specified lol But thanks, I'm working on a few more things this winter. We'll see how it goes next season.

 

I didn't think fi cars were as affected by da as the na cars? it would def make a difference, not arguing that. nice car with a **** ton of potential for sure.

 

I for one don't care about 60 foot times or drag strip, I'm sure on the street that thing is fun...

 

They are'nt affected as much. Less than half on the da correcter.

 

^This, that car should be trapping much more even at altitude.

 

You still in Vegas will ?

 

Yes I am. Ill be contracted out there until mid next year at this rate. You still coming out this way?
