7.0 @ 98mph Bolt-on HX40 1G

[-red97rum-]

This is the 2nd time I've had the car back to the track in about a year. Only spent about 20 minutes tuning it with 4 street pulls. Drove 30 miles to the local 1/8th mile track, street tires, didn't even air them down and clicked off a 7 flat at 98mph. I was pretty happy with it, full weight car, auto swapped, stock 150,000 mile 6 bolt in the car. I'm using a 50 shot of nitrous right on the line but not throughout the whole pass, this run was at 33-34psi of boost. Tune is real rich and timing is very conservative, hopefully I'll get it back in the high 6 second range soon with a little more boost and aggressive tune. Felt good to run the car down the track again though

Nice run! Auto is the way to go. A 7.0@98 should be good for mid to high 10s at 125-130.

Thanks! I'm pretty sure it'll get into the 10's as is, unfortunately the nearest 1/4 mile track is now almost 200 miles away, thanks to the California speedway in Fontana shutting down their drag strip. I'm tempted to trailer the car out there one of these days, but we'll see.

Pretty simple setup. I just need to move on from these .55 bep housing and go T3 to really take advantage of this turbo.

Here's the bay:

I love auto's and I wanna have something decent by next year ..I say that to say this , please excuse me for not knowing.. but what device are you using to change gears with? It obviously seems like a controller and I've never seen or heard of this.

No worries, it's a "Shiftbox Basic" from http://forcedfour.com/shiftboxbasic.htm. I really like it, I've only been using it for a couple months or so. I'm getting ready to make some paddle shifters so I don't even have to hold the box in my hand. As soon as I have more time I'm going to get started on them.

Nice, wish my motor didnt give out before i could get mine down that low on just 28psi. was running out of fuel up top though. upgraded the fuel then when back to up the boost around 32psi but got rained out and the block gave out a few days later so i never got lower than a 7.5 @ 97mph.
