Under ideal condition, yeah, I agree that the stick trans would certainly pick up 2-3mph and possibly even a little ET.BUT, Iv been doing this a long long time, and ideal conditions rarely happen, ESPECIALLY when you build a "race car" out of junkyard parts like I do. Prior to the auto...

60' to 1/8mi is awesome. Mph sucks a hard one!

What's the current setup? Share a log?

My galant vr4 went 12.0@113 on 14b, that was a full leather interior street car with power glass & sunroof. Basic ac/cruise/abs delete and removal of the metal bumper supports likely brought the curb weight down to standard 1g awd weight range.I'm pretty sure bottom 12's @ 111-113 are in...

I went to Ohio from 1997 till 2005, but haven't been there since. Maybe 2014

Total weight?

Sorry, not going to the shoot out, can't take time off from my new job nor family.Bad luck tonight. First run had a timing error...no timeslip past the 330'. It would have been a mid 11 anyway, only a 1.79 60' leaving at 15psi and boggingf slightlySecond run I left at 20psi. Spun...

Planning to make passes with #431 on Wednesday July 10th at Island Dragway . Hopefully it goes smooth with the car ending up back in the mid 9's like we had in 2011

Yes, they have been closed since last year. They are thankfully re-opening tomorrow actually...new management. Hopefully it lasts.I'm basically going tomorrow just to show support for the track and put $25 more in their register on opening day. I don't expect the red 92 to ET well without...

Nope...no way I'm changing the converter out. I'd rather fine tune the power/spool to launch right on the stock converter than throw $800 or more out for a converter "upgrade" that just allows for more rpm and slips away power. At least in the power/turbo size that I can make the free stock...

Minor update: I swapped out the HKS 272* exhaust cam for a stock camshaft, and while it idles slightly smoother, it is still stuck at 3psi of boost on the converter with the FP3065.Planning to go run it at island tomorrow night with hopes that a blend of ethanol fuel and ice in the...

Take it for what it's worth.

Good news to hear, congrats on the win & mph. Just for interest, what does NHRA's da calculator correct the best slip down to?

I do the setup and tuning, but it is not my car... Nelson Sousa is the owner & driver. I'm more like the crew chief.

I never got a chance to try out the hot pipe vs icewater IC on my 14b car when running ethanol/methanol. Mine did run fairly well with the alcohol/icewater combo though, it certainly wasn't a "never do it - it wont work" situation.:aha:
