Went back to the track tonight hoping for that 9 second run. I have been having boost issues and figured out it was the controller that was the problem. I borrowed a new one ( thanks Chad ) and headed back to NED.
I had no idea where boost was, so to be safe, I lowered the boost cut in AEM. First pass, as soon as I hit second gear, it hit boost cut. I have never experienced that with AEM, good Lord that is violent! I turned the boost down and went back into the lanes ( which were packed and barely moving all night ). Next pass, it still hits boost cut, but not until third gear, it ran a 10.3@134. Turned the boost down some more and waited for a while to run again. Only real good pass of the night, I made sure to sit on the 2-step ( bogged launch on previous two runs ). Car left hard, skated around the lanes for the first two gears quite a bit, hit boost cut very briefly at the top of third, and still ran:
60' - 1.46
1/8 - 6.49 <<< New best
MPH - 113.23 <<< New best
E.T. - 10.06 <<< New best
MPH - 136.03
I think the MPH was low due to boost cut and the turbo having to re-spool in fourth gear. Damn, so close!! I went back up for one more run and bogged the launch again. Well at least the boost issue is figured out. I will be going back in two weeks.
This is still the stock shortblock. Does anyone know what Lee Evan's record ET was ( stock shortblock )? I thought it was a 10.0x? Video will be up soon.
