Got To The Track Again...
Tuesday, May 27, 2008 6:37 PM
Well we do this local thing called midnight mayhem. it where you get to race whatever you bring, must have DOT tires, and DOT muffler. you get to race from 11p to 4a. i ended up getting 11 runs in total and stopped because i was just running consistant. most of my times were a VERY consistant 13.8 and 13.9 at a high 102 to 103mph. I was on nearly bald eagle rsa's on the stock 16" wheels. i was pulling 2.2 60' times on those at about 30 psi. car felt good, pulled really well, and i spike 9 psi then it drops and holds consistant at 7psi. im really happy how the car is running. a heck of a lot better than a 15.2 from last year. i am going to borrow some drag radials from a friend of mine that are on some decently light rims and see if i can get the 60' time down and maybe pull a 13.5 thats all i was aiming for when i started the car up this year. new slips are in the registry. i didnt feel like uploading 26 other slips that i got within the last 3 weeks

Nice vince. I ran almost the same exact time 2 weeks ago. 13.7 @ 103 mph with a 2.3 60 ' time on 10 psi though . You have some room for improvement thats for sure. Good job.

not to bad Vince. Drop the air pressure in the tires, 20-22psi would have been a bit better.

Cordova Dragway... its in my registry. and yes its only at 7 psi, i have the 9 psi spring in but im dropping to 7 and holding. im too lazy to find my camera to upload the pics but ill get them eventually. i could turn the boost up but i know i would blow my @!#$ up. not ready for that yet lol.

my biggest problem is wheel hop, i need a way to fix it. im on coilovers right now and have all the solid motor mounts and what not but it hops like crazy that i feel like im going to break an axle lol. we will see what happens next track time im looking forward to dropping some tenths.

If you have HPT raise the rev limiter to 7k. I bet you see a nice improvement right there.

it is set at 7K. but from what i remember our cars dont make power above 6500... anyway i still rev to 7

My car pulls hard to 7K. I haven't dynoed it w the raised limiter, but when the limiter was stock it made power all the way to redline.

definately. too bad the track is so far away from you. but we will def have to hang out. and been talking back and forth with your friend

im hoping for a 2.0 or so 60' and go from there. might get me into the 13.5 range which would be more than i hoped for.i cant wait for the next midnight mayhem. crap. gotta go check to see if the tires are DOT


and i cant rememeber who it was said that our cars really dont make power over 6500 due to timing or something.... i cant remember who that was.

Here's a sheet with both a supercharged and turbo runs on it. To me it suggests there's power beyond the stock redline.

Hey Vince!

just spoke with Paul, he may place me in the "all out" class cuz it would make for tighter racing for me and more fair for the other all motor cars, so that means we may race at the bash, hope you turn up the boost before then!

Good Luck
