1986 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z T3 DOHC Tuned at FwdPerformance

[Vigo]

Still at 28 psi? Looks like low 11s so far. Did you run into any real problems other than brakes?

[turboshelbys]

Yes, 24 that slowly creeps to 27ish. No real problems other then the launch and still running very low timing.

[turboshelbys]

Oh, I did almost lose my hood racing the Mustang. It buckled up like a tent because I forgot to use my handy dandy blue painters tape

[Vigo]

Wait, so the hood is trashed? That sucks!!

I think with his MPH he would be very deep into the 10's with a decent 60'.
Here is Corby just breaking into the 10's on 100mph in the 1/8th. There are two guys doing 10.80's with 101 and 102mph.

Corby actually has the best 330' of guys near that time with a timeslip posted (Kevyn Cagle and Dan Carson), but less 1/4 MPH. Somewhere between the 330 and 990 he lost some ground. Then he out trapped the others between 990 and 1320

No hood is fiberglass and is fine. HairyGlass makes one hell of a product. Strong enough to take abuse and flexible enough not to crack.

Once the car hits boost it pulls like a freight train, I caught up and passed that e85 5.0 mustang after he had almost 3 cars on me. his mph was 93 and mine was 102

Yeah, just cut 3 tenths by the 8th and you can go 10.99999 , but I feel like this car was built for a single digit ET so bench racing to possible 10.99 vs guaranteed low 11s I don't think is the kind of bragging rights being sought here. But yeah, it's possible it could already be there on a full run.

10s are going to happen guaranteed once the 2-step and boost control are figured out, even if peak boost doesn't change and nothing else about the setup changes. Seems like those are the only things in the way right now.

Pretty impressive the hood isn't ruined!!

Nothing is guaranteed, but I do appreciate the support.

From here on out, unless an event, I will be heading to the long track. Waiting on some info from AEM on the 2 step and things will be all good there.

I am happy with the boost as it sits, that little bit of creep is accounted for. I am actually surprised it is not more considering the way I have the ext wg set up on the stock exhaust manifold.

They way it buckled up i thought for sure it was wasted. Only ended up with on little crack on the underside on the support beam, already fixed.

[Ondonti]

What has it been stalling at when launching?

With the weight of his car and an auto trans he could easily shave 3 tenths from the 330', never mind the 1/8th Stick it becomes a little more tricky, but Can be done.

Did I miss it, or have you mentioned where you have the cams set to? (OP)

Stock cams with stock cam sprockets haven't moved them at all

Feels like around 3500

Seems like the 2 step is the main thing needed to get the 60' down. If you're pulling through the brakes but aren't spinning the slicks then with a 2step you could actually leave the line with higher boost and have a better 60', right? Especially since when you red light pulling through the brakes that means you were actually on the brakes for a couple of those 60ft.

Just an off thought, wondering if that would help prevent grenading the diff area of the case. Brake boosting with no actual power. He could maybe build more boost but the converter would actually be more lazy right?
Higher stall + 2 step

Slicks are definitely not spinning yet and I have been brake boosting every time.

Not going to mess with the converter. I actually like where it hits and don't think its a foreseeable problem. If I don't get where I think I should be with the 2 step, then I will probably be going, Dare I Say It, to a smaller ball bearing turbo. While I love this gt35, it is a cheaper godspeed journal bearing test turbo.

It's one of the things I have to keep reminding myself, most of the parts on the car are things that I had lying around. They were supposed to be a test bed, just so happened that everything clicked together and the car runs great. Now I need to go back and start replacing my used/cheap stuff.

[Gaboon]

Easy and inexpensive way to get that turbo spinning quickly is to throw a small shot of NOS, even 30 hp jets would do the job.

Just throwing it out there as an option.

2 step should do it, no bottle baby here

[glhs875]

How much boost are u able to make while staging?
