Drag/Standing mile project

Why not switch to a Tilton carbon/carbon unit?

It may be the next step if this one doesn't work. That or a custom triple.

Well looks like I am done for the year.

Went back to the track today with the intentions of slowly turning up the power on the line. Sadly the thing I knew was coming finally did. First pass .2 seconds after it got put in 3rd gear it went instantly to 11krpm. Car ripped the teeth off of third gear. I am surprised it held as long, plan is to pick up a dog box in the next few months and try again next year. Tracks are getting too cold for any real traction anyway.

Well it looks like this gives you a good excuse to throw that new clutch in there. That tilton would hold up for sure. We ran it in our car and it makes a LITTLE more power and we've never had any issues with it slipping. Cant wait to c what this thing will do. Awesome car, definitly one of the cleanest 1g out there.

Hope to hit the track for the first time next weekend with the dogbox, weather permitting.

Woot can't wait to see the results man .

 

[JohnTSI]

Well finally made it back to the track today for Import Face off at Rockingham.

A little gun shy worried about the tcase on the first pass with the power turned down, car bogged badly and feel out of boost.

2.1 60'

Next qualifing pass was against Mike Woeler so I figured we would put on a show and turned up the boost some. Still didn't leave very well car started missing at the top of third shifted to 4th and kept missing so I lifted completely.

1.77 60'
9.273@147

New best ET and made me #1 qualifier for FIP and low ET for the event.

Got it back to the shop and it tossed the intake rockers again. Need to figure this out or I am dead in the water.

Without going back through the thread, whats the cams, valve springs, etc. setup?

 

[JohnTSI]

FP 5R, FP11 with kiggly springs, they where shimmed this time to Kevin's reccomendations to add some seat pressure in hopes to avoid this.

 

[jmelocik]

Kiggly beehive springs? Would the lighter weight of the Evo rockers, retainer, help any? I know those are very aggressive cams so you have probably already considered even more exotic options. That is an incredible ET considering you lifted. I look forward to seeing this thing go full tilt the length of the track.

[JohnTSI]

Car has evo rockers in it this time around already.

 

[okcpopeman]

Do you happen to know what kind of seat pressure the kiggly springs have with the shims you are using? Reason I ask is we run the stronger Kelford beehive springs as they had the highest seat pressure we could find. Since we knew we would have 290+ cams and would need a strong spring to work with them. We also run the OEM rockers (not the evo) and do not have any issues like this spinning the motor to nearly 10k RPM.

 

[TRIXTSI]

Congrats John on the new PB in ET i saw the vid and the car is flying through mid-track

FWIW i had discussed shimming the Kiggly springs for my Evo set-up and he rec'd to shim them so they are somewhere around 0.050" to coil bind at peak lift.

He said that should get me to 110-115 seat pressure.
