[crazymadbastard]

So how did it go at the track?

[BadAssPerformance]

Started the weekend with 1 mile on the car. Mile #2 clicked off unloading and reloading it for the car show. So the day at Milan started with only 2 miles on the combo.

Run 1 - first pass on the engine, dogged it off the line, quick 1-2-3 upshift, so the whole run was almost in 3rd gear. 9.5:1 A/F, 15psi, 10° timing

R/T: 0.6962
60': 2.6219
330': 7.8556

1000'mph: 92.59
1/4ET: 16.4418
1/4mph: 103.43

Run 2 - Used a little 2nd gear, then ran 3rd gear out, hit the 6800 rpm limiter in 3rd going thru the lights. 9.6:1 A/F, 15psi, 10° timing

R/T: 0.452
60': 2.3001
330': 6.5529

1000'mph: 99.52
1/4ET: 14.0881
1/4mph: 105.61

Run 3 - Saw Dean in the other lasne so I thought I'd practice my reaction time First pass to use 1st gear too. 9.6:1 A/F, 15psi, 10° timing

R/T: 0.0090
60': 2.0300

Run 4 - First pass to launch a little harder, spun thru 1st. 9.7:1 A/F, 15psi, 10°timing

1000'mph: 98.92
1/4ET: 12.7910
1/4mph: 107.33

Run 5 - Launched a little less aggressively than the last run cuz the clutch has as many miles as the engine does so I wanted to take it easy. And then I missed 3rd egar, Doh! 10.3:1 A/F, 15psi, 12° timing

R/T: 0.1819

All in all it did great for the first trip out. I kept everything very conservative and took my time. The drivetrain has approximately 9 miles on it now. Next step is to get the car cooling a little better (cooling fan is not arranged efficiently) and to insure it so I can tune on the street a bit.

[WickedShelby88]

Looks like your well on your way to an 11 second pass. Those trap speeds scream 12's all day long at the very least.

[SebringLX]

Nice! Can't wait to see what you run after it's tuned and not running pig rich.

So what's your secret for those reaction times? I can't ever seem to get better than a .7 reaction time... but a lot of that is probably due to me trying to figure out how to launch best still, lol.

[crazymadbastard]

Nice! I am slowly gathering parts for my 2.4 12 sec convertible.

[skitzo_inc]

Sweet. I can only hope one day my Charger will run those trap speeds! I'm not shooting for below 12 though, a 13.5 would be nice for me.

[crazy1eye]

If I didn't say to you at SDAC, you did a very nice job on putting the car together Glad to see you took the time to do it right, & also, great job on the fabrications

[minigts]

Well at 15psi and you pulled into the 12's, I'd say that's very impressive. I'd be interested to see what will happen with 16ps+.

Ditto on the car work, even more impressive in person. Now if I can just get my OUTSIDE of my car to look like the INSIDE of your engine bay, I'd be good.

[BadAssPerformance]

Thanks guys... Still more fab to do, and I hope I can keep it nice and clean, I'm calling today to get the insurance upgraded to be able to drive it more on the street

Good reaction times? practice practice practice, and I thought I woulda been red on that run, LOL!

[20w/ashelby]

Glad to hear everything held together for its first shakedown runs. That's gotta be very comforting. You're gonna have a monster there once you go balls to the wall with it.

[BadAssPerformance]

Baby steps... it only has 9 miles on it!

[contraption22]

Baby steps... it only has 9 miles on it!

Beat on it while the rings are still fresh!

[BadAssPerformance]

Mike, remember how I said "3 passes" ... it was very close with the first one prolly cuz I started with a fattened up version of the 8v cal.

[contraption22]

Yeah yeah yeah.... You and your common sense and patience....

[BadAssPerformance]

LOL... I was sooo tempted to change 6 things and double the boost for the last pass of the day

[deuce dodge]

JT

deuce

[BadAssPerformance]

Anyone else have vids of it running at SDAC?

[BadAssPerformance]

Took it to teh Elmhust 'Mopar' cruise night last night so about 25 more miles on it, then to Grove tonight for soem shakedown runs. First pass off the trailer, same tune as it ran at SDAC

R/T: 1.128
60': 1.849
330': 5.297
1/8ET: 8.179
1/8mph: 86.53
1000'ET: 10.6348
1/4ET: 12.729
1/4mph: 106.86

It felt good, seemed to pull well on 15psi, still 10:1 -ish.. I took some fuel out, adjusted timing up to 12° in the cells above 15psi to see if it is calculating from those, then went to run again... I heard a POP as I cam eout of the burnout and heard that distinct exhaust leak sound. I ran it anyways, but it definitely was running a little off and then to top it off I cheezed 3rd gear... still ran a '12' tho

R/T: -.120
60': 1.848
330': 5.328
1/8ET: 8.311
1/8mph: 83.05
1000'ET: 10.838
1/4ET: 12.969
1/4mph: 105.11

It was a good night, awesoem weather, nice and cool out, would have loved to make a few more runs... Will get it all back together before Sunday to go run it again.
