Thanks guys, I have to say it was one of my best nights, 3 years of blood, sweat, tears, and MONEY, lol!

Just have to figure out the detonation issue, and go from there. Also need to figure out how to get more boost, my MBC is maxed out at 25ish psi. Also need to figure out if I am going to change out the S2 and put the stocker back in, my MPH hasn't really changed but obviously my bottom end torque is much better.

hmm when you get a chance try the 23's ....you better hold on to your horses with those slicks...specially with your obx

I would love too but A)No more money this year, B) I don't know anyone with that size slicks I could borrow.

I did notice Paul Smith did his 12.65 on the same slicks I have,

I am going thru the 1/4 at around 5700 rpm so they probably would help but meh, next year.

Congratulations. Don' t ya just love driving your race car (van) home!?

[Whorse]

Are you able to get the fuel curve in your cal adjusted a bit so it gives more fuel mid track?

Congrats Simon. Can I take some of the credit for the superstition aspect of this thread?

Once your top end detonation issue is solved, you should be running a better mph in the 1/4 which would also help you close in on those 12s. Give us a rundown of the 1/8 mile ETs and MPHs from those runs if you could.

Personally, maybe try backing down the boost and tune it from there. Wonder you didn't toast anything. Luck is on your side now

Credit, you said go back to stock, I refused, I said S2, you said STOCK,

I will post both 13.7 runs when I get home.

Forged baby, thats why! plus when it started detonating, all the timing got pulled out and it almost stopped, then the CEL would flash and stop then the power would come back, and so on and so on.

[show-off]

FINALLY!!! Now if I see you post next week saying you are shooting for 12's or selling your van I am going to beat you down!!! lol

I am still aiming for 12's, I know its there, just need to stop the detonation and turn up the boost, I am so close I can feel it,

[SpoolinGLH]

haha i remember how fast 13.7 felt in a sundance....i cant imagine feeling that same power in a minivan.......

simon do you have wisecos??

I know, it feels fast. My street and racebikes run the 1/4 in 10 secs but this feels faster, lol!


JE's, I got them from David Rose. And no, they don't look like those weak ones FM were aparantly selling,

[Omnious]

Good Job Simon! I think it's time to buy a hole saw and remove some weight where is cant be seen. Atleast you know the 12's are comming. do you still have the full interior in the van? did you remove the spare tire ect..?

Nah, this is my DD and I won't comprimise my comfort for a few months of the year. Its more impressive for me to do it full weight, which is 3450 lbs with me in it.

It has the full interior minus the rear seats, spare tire is a Lebaron mag with a 195/50-15 spare and it stays under the rear. No jack or sub box. I even keep my tow bar on for sh*ts and giggles,

[DodgeZ]

you need a bigger turbo.

[turbovanman²]

you need a bigger turbo.

I have a big turbo,

If I could afford it, I would get the new SC DBB series. Donations anyone?

[WVRampage]

Thats great to hear Im hoping to get there some day but its not looking good.

[mech1nxh]

Well, after all these years, I finally break in the 13's, and I got 8 runs in tonight and the last run, I figured I would unplug the MBC to see what she would do, hahhaaha, big mistake, hit 35 or more psi, guage stops at 30 and it went past it alot and cut out badly, ran 15.1, doh!

35 psi and drove it home .....
my compliments.......

[turbovanman²]

Ok, Steve, heres the break down.

14.2 run with the S1 and 23 ish psi. then the 2 best runs, in order of time with the S2 cam at 23 psi first and 25ish psi second.
