Well, I went to my first track visit with three goals in mind:
1. Do not blow the car up
2. Do NOT blow the car up
3. Break 14's
I knew it would be busy since not only was open test and tune was cancelled the week before, but this was the also last event of the season. After teching in and waiting in line (which took from 6.30 til 9) I got my one and only run of the night in.
YouTube - Tom's Run
Yes I overshot while staging, and no the other guy didn't red light--I was sitting there trying to not do what the other guy did (screw up and completely blow the run).
Timeslip was
R/T 2.274
60' 1.958
330 5.379
1/8 7.971
MPH 95.71
1000 10.217
1/4 12.059
MPH 122.28
I knew the car was running hotter than normal from waiting in line for so long, even with the hood open and fans running, but there is a real loss of power in 4th gear. The car has more in it, definitely...probably a mid or even low 11 at mid 120's with a better 60 and NLTS (and of course, a lot more seat time).
As far as my setup goes, given that I'm running the .55 a/r bolt on housing and a stock 2g intake manifold, which do you guys think is the bigger chokepoint?
And yes I know I need more fuel pump.
