87 Shelby Z

nice run.

it does make an 11.47 look at a little tame though. straight, smooth (other than a few hiccups) and drama free. i guess its a good thing though.

now when the wheels start to come up, that will be a different story.

What happened to the Omni at the end. Btw damn good race. Car looked nice and straight.

He must be drawing oil in on decell cause otherwise ran great other then some top end misfiring too. He has run mid tens

Went out today 4^C. Still wont rev past 6 k First 200 ft of the track wasn't bad. first two passes were slipping and sliding all over the place . I tried the other lane and had much more success 11.27@ 108.77 1.589 60ft 6.989 1/8 th @ 97.64...still missing like a rev limiter is on. Made another pass 13.21 @ 73 mph 1.511 60 ft 7.510 eigth @ 77.04 skating all over..kinda exciting Hot lapped it 11.45 @104 1.55 60ft (shift into sec on launch oops) 7.136 eigth @ 96.17 mph . I turned the rev limiter completely off and changed the fuel in the a/f cells affected and still missed the same . Boost was between 16-18.9 psi

Gonna be hilarious when you get everything sorted out. Slowly progress through 11's............into high 10's...............Then BAM! 9's in a heartbeat!

Is it cutting out in these videos? To me it sounds clear up top. Did it end up being the gap or a fueling issue?

[Rampage16V]

Yes still doing it better but not right yet
I'll send you the datalogs

[Reaper1]

Why does it look like it's sitting strange? It looks like the front is raised up like a stock DeLorean! LOL

[Rampage16V]

I think the rear springs have settled I've got all winter to play with it

[Rampage16V]

What do you think of the spoiler .... I think I have my misefire issue figured out ....fingers crossed! Will be starting on the body work in the next week or so.

[forcedfedmopar]

I like the spoiler! I say make it stay!

[Force Fed Mopar]

Looks like mine now I like the 89-up spoiler a lot better than the 87-88.

[Reaper1]

I like the spoiler! I've also been wanting to convert to the later spoiler. I haven't figured out whether I want to do it in 2 tone or not, yet.

[BadAssPerformance]

Cool *fingers crossed* what do you think were the missfires?

[Reaper1]

Oh...are the bolt holes different for the center wing on the hatch (except the center one...we all know about that one)?

[Reeves]

Love the wing!

Also, since you said the back springs settled, I'd just lower the front to match!

[Rampage16V]

That's the plan James! I have some 100 lb springs coming tomorrow! I have 175lb ones in there now.
As far as the miss goes and this is pure speculation. With the Rampage using a neon coil pack and wasted spark it used only 2 wires from the mega squirt to fire the coils. With the MS 3 and coil on plug. I'm using a quad spark transistor module. The coil out puts from the MS3 are Logic only (rated for low current draw). Which is fine for LS coils but not the stock 08 3.5 charger coils I'm using. I had the Quad spark wired up to just 2 ms outputs to 4 Quad Spark input wires. And the ms3 has two options for wasted spark. COP wasted spark and Wasted Spark. So I rewired it to use 4 logic level outputs from the ms to 4 input wires to the Quad Spark. Thinking it would put less load on the transistors and have cleaner spark. And configured the software for wasted spark cop.
I hope this makes sense. Like I said my fingers are crossed and we'll see in the spring. I hope to get it into the 10's on this boost setting (16-18) then ramp it up after that.

This the new tie rod setup. I have the right length bolts and safety washers in since this pic was taken. The toe stays true wheels up or down. :-)

And the body work starts!!
