Well it didnt turn out how I had planned. I was planning on running 20psi but didnt realize how much I have to turn the MBC control to get boost to go up. :rolleyes:

My first run was at 16psi with 3 gallons of 91, and 3 gallons of 104.
Reaction .684, 1.987 60 foot, ET 14.384 @ 93.529 mph.

My second time was also at 16psi, same gas mixture.
Reaction 1.229 (I know the damn car rolled forward while reving) 60 foot 2.132, ET 14.302 @ 96.344 mph

Third time was at 16.5psi, same gas.
Reaction 1.342 (Messed up again), 60 foot was 1.968, ET 14.084 @ 94.778 mph.

Last time was at 17psi same gas.
Reaction .586, 60 foot was 2.025 (major clutch slip in first), ET 14.264 @ 94.065 mph.

I definetely know I can get some 13's out of this. One problem that was hurting my ET was my damn BOV return tube, It got pinched shut and I didnt have the tools to move my UIP to fix it. So I was getting horrible lag between shifts.

Keep in mind this was full weight absolutely no weight reduction.
Next time I will run 20psi with 110octane, remove the passenger seat and pop out the passenger light bulb. And bring a couple bags of ice to cool my car in-between runs. :D
 
Well thats ok, not everyone does good every time, we all hae our bad days. Sp how was the competition? Did you enter or just run time only's? I was hoping I could go out there and compete, but unfortunately my tires are showing steel belt :mad: , so I didnt want to risk it. Stock clutch...ouch You should be careful on that thing man! Howmuch boost do you run on the street? I run usually 16-17psi on 91 octane, you must run pretty low then. Are you going to be going tp the IDRC in october at Firebird? Im competing in the team event with 3 buddies. Hopefully Ill be running lower 12's by then. Later...:dsm:
 
Oh btw, were you in tempe last night? I thought I saw your car at like university and mill...maybe not though

WTF happened to your telemarketing job?

I'll plan on being at IDRC in october and get my ass out on the track this year :) Nitrous will be hooked up by then (hopefully).

You're still faster than me, so I wouldn't worry :)
 
haha bling', your gonna put nitrous on the 1.8?? thats cool. If you guys are all really gonna go out there, let me know cause we should go a week or two before and run before we compete. Or we can meet up and go together or something. I bet we could get John to go out there to...we'll have our very own little AZ meet, oh yeah
 
I wouldn't worry too much about your stock clutch..give it hell and if it goes..then it gives an excuse to upgrade...A few guys I know have had well over 200 passes on their stock clutches BTW. And these weren't easy launches either...1.7-1.8's
