Faster and faster...

[Dave]

So went to the track Wed. night. Got off work, mom and I went straight to it to meet my brother (racing the Acclaim) and my dad (racing the Hemi Charger). Had a full tank of gas, no bother, put the used amount to get there in race gas, which was about 2.8 gallons of 110. I should mention I had a full interior too.

Anyways, get there, put the slicks on, drive up to get air and well, I had ice on the intercooler and the hood didn't shut. ----! Hood comes up and bends the driver side spring. URGH!!! Ok w/e. 14psi up front, 46psi in the rear. 20psi boost, 48psi static fuel pressure.

(Going from 60', 1/8, & 1/4)
First round- racing a 5.0 Mustang
My 1.9948 -- His 2.161
My 8.8036 at 77.35 -- His 9.475 at 72.92
My 13.8717 at 96.39 -- His 14.7572 at 94.14
A$$ kicking! Get out and do a party-boy dance!

Second round- racing a Nova...
My 1.8870 -- His 1.744
My 8.6801 at 77.31 -- His 7.8311 at 86.35
My 13.7322 at 96.93 -- His 12.3499 at 108.96

Last round- racing an SRT8 Magnum
My 1.919 -- His 2.3931
My 8.6719 at 77.72 -- His 9.7798 at 78.40
My 13.726 at 96.77 -- His 14.682 at 100.03

I kept blowing off the boost gauge line, so I couldn't tell if the boost changed through the night, I don't think it did too much. I consistantly launched at about 3,100 RPMs and shfited at 5,500 from 1-2, and 2-3.

Before I end this, I'll let you in on some videos.

Racing the Nova, please excuse the one-wheelie peelie, bad burnout box. Heh.

And the race against the SRT8 Magnum. The driver let his son drive. Before the driver went a 13.60 so it should've been a great race... next time!

I wondered how you were heating up the tires at 42.

Yup, that's how. :thumb: At QCR I can get them both to spin b/c I do it outside the burnout box, that puts a load on the diff. and both will spin.

That car is starting to get pretty quick! Keep up the good work! :thumb:

Thanks for the compliments. I can't wait to put the hybrid on this weekend. Should be here today. Woohoo!!

[cordes]

Right on. That is getting to be one quick spirit.

Nice runs, getting closer to my time, :nod:


Dude, one day I am going to say I told you so. Those one legged burnouts are gonna blow your diff, I bet its already damaged, :(

I'm right on your time...bro!

The diff. is damaged, I can gaurantee that. A new trans is going in over the winter. If it will last me 3 or 4 more times to the track I'm happy. I need a new torque converter too. The OEM one died pretty quick. Any suggestions?

Anyways, with the new turbo and a better intercooler, I better see some 12's before the season is over. :thumb:

Yes, at 20 PSI, that stock IC is a pretty big cork.

Nope, you have run 13.7, I have run a 13.6, :eyebrows:

I can't remember who sells converters, search around on here or TD. Carl aka Double Trouble knows which ones to use.

I gotta say, this car's drivetrain is bullet-proof. Today I was 2 quarts low on oil, god knows for how long, but it keeps going!

I think if I actually take care of it I may break something. Just keep beating on it and I'll be fine. :thumb:

You gotta be as bored as me to be up this late and post that!!!
Ya are nuts!!!!
