New NA numbers 13.386 @102.88

bullettdsm · 03-05-2008, 04:54 PM

Hit up E-town this past sunday. Thought I would get some runs in because it was so cold, but I guess, everybody else thought the same thing. Crowded.

First run wimpy, just to get a baseline (no speed shift with a short shift at 1 to 2). Ran a 13.416. Hmm... Next run, like 2 1/2 hours later, tried speed shifting (which I thought I fixed) and couldn't make 1 to 2 (thinking bent fork now) ended up with a 13.8ish (I threw out the slip). Last run (around 3:45pm) no speed shift to a 13.386. Pretty good numbers, lol.

Oh yeah, here's the slip. The best I could do. Just source it out to see it better;

As always, your car amazes me.

Thanks guys. just wanted you to see that there is hope for the 420a NA guys, lol.

And Mike, you already know that your intake is part of the equation. I appreciate you taking the time to try something a little different.

Lol, not stupid, just constant. Got a new venture, hopefully coming out in the spring. And I gotta sit on the current NA set-up for a few drags to see how we'll do with this set-up. Then, we got more changes

Nice numbers and times. I remember seeing your car at the DSM shootout. I think you were also out front next to our hotel if I recall right.

congrats!

The super 8? The counter guy liked the wife and gave us the free jacuzzi room. Yee haw, lol. You just don't want to fill it up with bubble bath. Unless of course, you want a bubble bathroom

That's nice! That's how to get some respect. Keep up the good work on that engine.

talon4lifetsi · 03-07-2008, 04:05 PM

WOW!!! Nice run guy. Thats amazing.

crab1092 · 03-07-2008, 11:04 PM

Congrats man. I am glad it finally warmed up enough up there so you can stop hating me for the warm weather down here.

Anyways i better get my crap together because before long you will be beating my ass. Seams like you pick up a half a second or more everytime you hit the track!

Lol, I think that's over now. The leaps and bounds, at this point, have turned into eeking out extra power or squeaking out better chasis work.

But then again, you never know, ha ha........

I appreciate the words of support guys.

Hey Mark what's the weight on the car?

I forget are you all lexan now or still glass?

I look forward to seeing the new venture too, perhaps a sneak peak via pm

Let's see lexan hatch but windows all around (with sunroof). I either weigh 3200lbs or 2400lbs, lol. At least that's what the scale at E-town said. One day I'm gonna get on one of those and its gonna be right

I ain't got much to peek at yet, but its coming........That is IF it works, heh heh.

STI2TALON · 07-26-2008, 01:42 PM

ARFWD · 07-27-2008, 10:46 AM

Congrats on the times. You gave me hope in a new found project I am starting to work on. Its funny it just happens to be a non turbo 1st gen.

IvanPSI · 08-23-2008, 04:25 PM

Thats one hell of a time for a 420a with no power adder...Good job
