Well was a bit dissapointed last night. But first with some background info.
Took van to the track for first time in March. See post here:http://www.turbododge.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=112512
Ran a best that night of 14.39@92.33. After that I installed a large high flow Yonaka FMIC. Van felt alot better on the topend compared to the supra unit I was using. A few days later I ended up breaking a pump gear in the tranny. So I sent the clutch packs off to Shadow T2 to install new 5 and 5 clutch packs while it was out. Get it back togeher and install some NGK BR9ES gapped at .030. Van and tranny feel real good.
Back to track last night.
First run 16 PSI. I line up with a LS1 Z28 that sounded pretty mean, I say to myself geez, a loss to start the night. So I do a small burnout and and stage. Light s green and we are off come out even out of the hole and pretty much trade quarterpanels the majority of the track till about the last 200' where he started pulling hard and put it on me. Timeslip said my 14.82@90 to his 14.56 @97.
Only 90 MPH? Air is a pretty shotty, humid and hot with a half-value head wind. So I compensate by turning the boost to 20 PSI.
Ended up running a string of 14.5's and 14.4's at 92+ with a best run of 14.40 @93.83. Demolished many a imports but lost to both pieces of american iron I went up against, so at least I lost to worthy foes (last one was a 2000+ full bolt on, geared, mustang GT). Most 60' times were 2.4, for some reason I couldnt hook last night compared to the 2.2's I was getting last outing.
Got video of it all, just need to find a capture card to post it on the net. All in all, wasnt that good a night at the track. The normal announcer that usually talks smack and gets the crowd riled up wasnt there, what a difference he made in the atmosphere and fun.
I was expecting more with the bigger intercooler at least more MPH. Going to pull plugs later today and check those and look for any possible gremlins elsewhere.
Maybe its time to whore myself out and save for a ported head. Been talking to MPGMike about ported heads and his stuff sure sounds sexy. Cant think of any more bugs in my set-up.
Mods are as follows:
2.5 w/ forged wisecos, Super 60 with .63 turbine/ stock G head/ ported exh. mani/ TU 3" SV/ 3" TU DP/ Full 3" exhaust with dynomax ultra flow/ Yonaka monster FMIC/ home made CAI/ TU 3 bar w 52lbs inj./ built tranny with stock rebuilt convertor. Full weight, just back seats removed.
Figure I would post this on both boards, maybe some one will see somthing I dont in my set-up/ runs.
