89 Voyager 1/4 mile times are in!

[2.216VTurbo]

Took the van to the track tonight. FWD stage 3, 17psi, with stock cat-back exhaust to prevent creeping.

3 bar tune is on order from boostbutton with a staging limiter. This combined with an open 3" downpipe should yield some interesting results.

60ft: 2.254
1/8: 9.141
mph: 78.54
1/4: 14.177
mph: 97.06

Nice times! I used the BB staging cal and it netted me some 2.017 60' times on 23.5X7.5 M&H's@ 18PSI air. So that
s 4 tenths at the stripe right there for your run, now you're deep into the 13's Did you weigh at race weight?

[turbovanman²]

Nicely done, very respectable.

[jefo]

It still has the full interior. Without me in it it weighs 3050lbs. (on a truck weigh scale) So about 3250 race weight.

The Pep-boys T2 clutch (with <10k miles lol) slips sometimes on hard launches. So thats the next upgrade.

[turbovanman²]

Lightweight, lol. Mine was 3520 without me,

Only time I've had Woody to the track was Mopars At The Strip a few weeks ago, they didn't see fit to fire up the scales that weekend So I have no idea. I'd venture Im tward the heavy end, power everything, cruise, 60lbs of Dynamat-ish stuff in the interior, double pivot K frame, 11.25" front brakes. You know, all the stuff that adds weight I did cheat as lil and pulled out the seats for my runs

[wheming]

That's not cheating, that's smart racing!

[Rrider]

Its luxury pit seating.

[turbovanman²]

I take the bench out too, the kids would sleep on it, lol, plus it weigh's 50+ lbs.

Go to a truck scale.

The Convert-A-Bed is at LEAST double that!! LOL I only took it out of my van a couple of time...by myself. There's NO WAY I could do that now! My back would give me the finger as it ran away once it kicked me in the b@lls!! LMAO

[Rrider]

My leather rear scaled spot on 100.0 pounds! I forget what the 2nd row was. When I was rollin on my pt alumispares with no seats, it felt sooooo much quicker than steelies with both seats.. Man I gotta smog that van.

Yeah that 3rd row one is hell on backs, take it easy out there with those things!

[turbovanman²]

I hear you. Guess I am getting old too, I used to be able to lift the bench out, literally jack and lift. Now its lift, reposition, lift, drag, lift, drag thunk, drag, done.

[Vigo]

I think i weighed the 2nd row at 80 lbs and the 3rd seat at 100 lbs. Which sucks for moving them but at least we get something from our weight reduction as opposed to those people who go to the track and make a pile of ---- 3 feet high that only ends up weighing 42 lbs.

Yah the steelies with stock size tires are 50lb a corner. Even "heavyass" pumpers with a 215 on are 5lb lighter. Get down to a 17lb rim and not too silly tires and probably quite noticable. (I say 17 because I think you can find some GM stock alloys around there, whereas 15lb probably means spending $$$ )

I had it put on a dyno again. this time at 17psi, but still with the stock catback exhaust. It made 219whp and 311wtq. I will post the graph later.

[Vigo]

I'll be VERY curious to see the curve because i did almost exactly those same numbers at the same boost number with a 2" exhaust and my power peaked earlier than i felt it should have.

Still a nice improvement from last time!

[jefo]

Here it is. The bottom axis is seconds, which makes no sense and the red dyno line had a reading error. So its pretty hard to see the curves unfortunately.

I'll be getting it dynoed once I get the 3 bar tune, and will make sure the graph is easier to read.

[Vigo]

Yeah, that's formatted stupidly. It kind of looks like your higher power pull had some kind of issue too. If im inferring correctly between the 3000rpm and 5250rpm marks, it looks like your power peaked quite early (<4k rpm) just like mine did when running a tiny exhaust.

[RoadWarrior222]

Yeah, that's formatted stupidly.

Understatement of the year, plus or minus 300 on the scale if I was supposed to pay for that, I wouldn't.

[Rrider]

Thats allota torque!

He probably had a lousy rpm signal that made the torque curve get all screwy. I dunno why else you wouldn't use RPM on the horizontal axis.
