3 years in the making...Outlaw 10.5 #4033...First Hits Holy ****. This project has been through it all. And the plan has been changed about 73 times. But we finally got 'r done.
Finally had everything 100% finished on Friday night, so we decided to do some TNT @ HRP today during the bracket race. The car is a 93 Mustang Coupe with a double frame-rail 25.2 certification. The engine is a 410 CID SBC (18* Heads) built by Jeff Naiser @ NRC. We're using a 106mm turbo, methanol and a powerglide trans.
First hit we're all about as nervous as can be. We didn't use the boost controller today, just the spring in the wastegate (17 PSI) to try to keep this thing off the wall. We've got it set for 7 PSI on the brake, and our baseline settings in everywhere else. He gets it up to the line, gets it on the brake, and a second later he's 100 feet out and drifting left. 1.17 60' on the first ever hit.
He shut it off at 1.58 seconds into the run because it was drifting towards the wall.
So we get back to the pits and make a 4-Link change to get it right down broadway. We lengthen the passenger side bar a bit and get back for pass number two. We decide to up the boost at launch to 10 PSI instead of 7 to see what she'll take. We get lined up again and it runs a 1.17 60' again. It's going straight down broadway so he stays into it and then I hear him short-shift it a bit early, but stay into it until the 1/8th mile. The announcer comes on and says 5.11 @ 137 to the 1/8th. It ran a 3.32 to the 330' on 17 PSI. We get back into the trailer and find he shifted it at 6,400 instead of our desired 8,400 (Still nervous I think,
), and the thing layed over so badly it didn't even rev past 6,600 the rest of the run.
After these two runs the event was getting close to and and it had been a super long weekend for all of us so we packed it up. We'll be out next weekend with some real power in this thing to see if she'll run what we think she will. The tune-up is super soft according to the plugs and the Racepak (4:1 A/F and a locked out 22* of timing) so we're looking forward to getting some heat in those cylinders.
So now for the pictures.
There are literally thousands of hours of our own time in this car, and there are so many people to thank that it would be impossible to list them all but the short list is:
Harry @ Precision Turbo & Engine
Don Bailey @ DCB Enterprises
Jim Monson
Rick Stevens @ Stevens Race Cars
Jeff Naiser @ NRC
Alan Dudley
Dennis @ Blitzkrieg
Richard Mays
Kevin Bickerstaff
John Hyde
Jason Lively
John Hyde
We are very much looking forward to mixing it up in 2008. Our plans for the rest of this season include another test session next weekend to put the power to it, and if everyting goes smoothly, we'll be at the Clash of the Titans race Thanksgiving weekend.
