I've had a hell of a year, basically only made it to the track a few times. Had a dead fuel pump at the shootout, then broke a trans first pass at my next outing, then next one broke an axle. I've been struggling to get consistent launches for the last few seasons as well. I was pretty well discouraged with my car. We had a local private track rental last weekend, so I started from the bottom and turned the boost down as low as it would go - 21psi. I also made a few small changes to the setup. So me and my brother went with a goal of having a fun day at the track, and maybe getting in a 10.9x at 21psi.
Worked on the launch all day trying a few things, and finally got it. 10.99@126 1.55 60' at 22ish psi.
Setup:
JE Manley 8.5:1 2.0
White Shed Speed Stage Infinity 6 bolt Cylinder head.
Kelford 272 Cams
Non ported EVOIII intake.
Garrett GT3788AVNT (6466)
White Shed Speed Race FMIC
White Shed Speed 3" exhaust with 2 mufflers.
White Shed Speed Abacus ECU
White Shed Speed Transmission with WSS 4 spider
ACT2600 and 4 puck disc
White Shed Speed Coil Over suspension - rear still needs work.
5yr old QTP's
Car and driver 3200lbs currently.
Not bad for a basic low compression 2.0, and an intake setup that many say won't ever work. If you look at some of the performance predictors, 126mph should be a 10.5 and a 1.46 60'. Car looses a couple tenths from 60-330, boost recovery on the 1-2 shift is not as good as I'd like. Working on that next, but it's still a pretty good ET for the mph.
Supposed to have a stick shift race sunday if the weather holds. I'm going to start adding boost back in at the top of second and see if it holds. I'd really like to see a 1.4x 60' this year.
