Made one time run in "Street Eliminator" @ Monster Mopar yesterday
Raced a gold wagon, fun to beat up on RWD Muscle Mopars :D
Cold day + a shitty burnout = not nearly enough heat in the tire until after spinning violently thru 1st gear
Not adjusting cables after having trans open + shifting 2nd while tires still spinning at 7500 RPM in 1st = missing 2nd gear
With cheezing 2nd, it was a side by side race until the 1/8 then I never saw the wagon again
Granny shifted 3 (went in great!) and 4th (not great but it went in) and the good news is the new crank sensor seemed to fix the breakup issue and also I had re-attached the connector on the data cable and it recorded the run OK! :thumb:

I adjusted the shifter cable end about 1mm and it felt better in teh pits, but never got to test it at 7500 due to rain :(
Is that a good MPH for you? Do you think the tire spin was artificially inflating it?
Runs from Sunday at Test-n-Tune at Great Lakes Dragaway (Grove where SDAC-21 was)
After a crappy weather rainy week, we had some awesome weather sunny and in teh 60's :thumb:

R/T: .456
60': 1.790
330': 4.823

So.... still gotta trouble shoot the cut out... Step 1 I will check out the crank trigger to make sure the wheel didnt hit it and F it up.... I am beginning to think it may be the cam trigger which it really shouldn't be using for anything other than initial sync? But maybe at full boogy there is enough oil pressure its getting flooded with oil, which shouldn;t matter but not sure? or the cam is wiggling just a tad?
Video on the way...
Congrates on the new PB JT. This Was a KILLER wknd of racing for our cars!!!!!!!!
Wow, you guys are flying, :nod:
Nice job JT! Congratulations on the new PB's
Nicely done! a littl emore than a half second from 9's. :P
LOL thanks guys... problem is NOT power.. its traction. Hard enough to keep the 24.5's stuck as it is so I think the biggest difference will be fitting some 26's on it.
Power? Only running 29psi, conservative timing, cams are still striaght up, 11.1:1 A/F... still room to play before spray ;)
Congrats JT!!!
Anything new on the shifting problems?
Besides he can't shift :D He said the night before he sat in the car making motor sounds and practice shifting:nod:
All right, this is getting to the point of needing a "Freekin wicked @ss awesome job man" smiley. Huge congrats JT. Just when I thought I had caught up you go and make things even harder. Next year man, it's on next year. ;) TMs are taking over the world!
Outstading JT!
LOL, I did tell ya that, didn't I ;)
Did you double up the springs on the sliders? I did that last time ti was apart and think DJ had great idea!
Thanks DJ! I'm not sure if I'd drive it from Edmonton to Mayland tho so you definitely got me there bro! :hail:
