Just got back from the track, 8's it is!!!!

[evil_eagle]

Just got home from the track. And the rumor is true!! After making a few chassis adjustments the other night I went back out to the track today and go at it again, same tune, boost, same everything as it was last weekend when I ran the 9.17 @161mph pass.
1st full pass of the day the car went this with the boost at only 23lbs in 1st gear, 2nd gear it ramped upto 38lbs and for the rest of the run.

60ft. 1.472
330ft. 3.903
1/8th. 5.833
mph 129.83
1000ft. 7.485
1/4 8.869
mph 163.45


The crowd went nuts over it along with the announcer at the track. It was indeed a great day.

It's not that great of a video as my girlfriend got a bit excited and shut the cam off as soon as the mph and et blinked on the board, but it's still there on the vid.
A buddy of mine got a better shot of it from the 1/8th mile and kept the cam rolling, I should have that soon too.

Rock on Jake!

Now pull those 1.3 60's! I know you will easily pull 8.70's at that boost level with a damn hard launch.

Good luck this year!

You shaved a whole freakin 3/10 off your time!!! What 'adjustment' did you do? Crazy man. Keep up the good work!

Just the chassis and suspension adjusments. Last weekend I had it sitting too low, so I only had about a half inch of travel in the rear before it hit the bump stops. So when it would launch the rear would come down and smack the bump stops and unload the chassis and cause it to stand on the tires like there was no tomorrow. Took the bump stops out and raised the rear up another 1" and re adjusted the chamber and wala, 8.86

I think she has an 8.50 pass in her Still have another 10-15lbs of boost I can play with and use the spray for the full pass, but I think for now I'm going to keep it where it's at and stay consistent and reliable. And if I need to I can turn it up for that special occasion .

 

[T9S1i]

wow !!! great F'n run man!! I cant wait to see your car when you come to BOTI in Sacramento, CA!!

Good luck with the rest of the season! looks like its going to be a great year for a lot of dsm's!

That's an awesome pass, congratz and good luck to you for 2008 season. The video is nice, but I'd rather be seeing a pass like that in person. Hope to see you in Seattle (Pacific Raceway) this year.
