DDr at GLD...floggin kevin's flamming junk

[Turbocharged400sbc]

was soooo nice probably 30cars n bikes total showed up, we got over 20 runs in i believe, got a few things sorted out and found another issue....she dont like the fuel level at 3/16ths

ran a best of 12.14 at 120 with a 1.99 60' 8 at 94 in the 1/8th
one of the last runs had him at 8.089 at 96.51 in the 1/8th and woulda been a 123mph pass but he saw 7* of kr and letoff from it running lean/sucking air

i only got a couple pics but i got tons of vids of hk figuring out what she could take launching/down the track.
one vid is Pbucket of his fastest run and the youtube vid is the one where he woulda ran his fastest... you can hear the surging as the pump sucked air/went lean
couple vettes about to get down with HK's slow junk in the background

hk n panda n some of the heaps that ran down the track

HK's new PB run...he didnt go WOT till he was in 3rd. this is mostly for DD since he cant see youtube at work

and the problems began...you can hear the slicks spinnin in 1st and at the 1-2...and the lean surge before he lets off from the knock

Well I guess james started the new thread

Anyways, the weekend was quite the adventure for my car between friday and sunday. First pass on friday against panda, 12.4 @ 116, 2.1 60' @ 14 psi on 93, no change to the tune from before.... Maxxed the MAF starting on that run. Put the boost to 15 on the next run and I didn't even go half-track before letting off because of car leaning out and KR

The next 20 or so passes were redoing the MAF scale and figuring out how to scale the IFR tables and use TGs AFC to get my MAF signal lower... and it needed to be a significant change or else going to 18psi would result in needing another change, not sure if any other TCG members were there on friday night but a crowd witnessed a fantastic 26 second 1/4 by my turd at: along with a bunch of other 15+ second passes

The 20 count of passes went into sundays early runs to make sure the new tune was on with the old one that was fairly dialed in. And dialed in it was. AFR is spot on low 11s, timing still stock and boost back up to 15. Track on sunday was "street tire only" but seemed to be prepped much better than the norm for those conditions. Threw in 4 gals of 100 to mix with 4 gal of 93 already in the tank to give some headroom. Didn't do any burnouts because im a pussy

@ 15 psi, PB

12.1 @ 120, 1.99 60', 1/8 mile was 8.0 @ 94mph....

@ 16 psi, PB

8.0 @ 97 2.1 60'

The car is being a PITA in 1st and 2nd... I'm not above 50% throttle until I get into 3rd for the most part and I'm getting KR from part throttle and trq management at the shifts... Made about 5 good clean passes at 14-15psi all runs between 12.1-12.4 @ 117+ so the car was right there each run as long as I didnt blow the launch

Think we figured out the issue of popping, as the car still did a SMALL amount of popping at the top of 3rd but a bunch (not as bad as before which was fuel related) at the 1-2 and 2-3, it pops like crazy, BUT only when the tank is below 3/8ths.. made sure the plug gap is plenty tiny

Really would like to get this car on a dyno soon, and now we know for the next track outing the tune is good, just a couple more issues to sort out. Gonna be looking for a very successful track outing in a few weeks and hoping to get my 11s and then some!

Can't wait, car pulls like there is no tomorrow!

 

[SleeperLS]

looks like a beautiful day and the PB run looks pretty solid too. the launch was pretty decent. Looks like you guys are gettin her together and runnin some nice traps

 

[Euro]

That's awesome!! I'm glad it's pulling together more and more. Next up is 11's k?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Nicely done guys

So when's the boost being turned up?

 

[Eagle]

so uh, when you gonna turn it up for realz?

 

[Chester Copperpot]

I was wondering why I got you on that one run... Lol. I know I talked to you Kev but I just found that odd. Glad you're getting that shit worked out.

 

[Handsome Jesus]

no burnouts? fail. I think it'll stick at the top of the gears if the tires are hot.

[blakbearddelite]

Nice Kevin! What does it take to get a decent 60' out of those 3800's?

 

[Handsome Jesus]

big tires. with heat in them. and brakes that actually hold the car.

 

[blakbearddelite]

I know nothing of FWD, but is there an equivalent to built axles? I wouldn't imagine anything stock could handle that power.

Brakes are overrated.

 

[Mook]

run slicks, dont do a burnout.

but anyway...good to see the car finally making passes. turn the boost up tho. christ. screw this pussy footing around. so much potential just sitting there. but i digress. glad this car is finally treating your right kev.

Stock GM axles can hold the power very well actually. If anything, its the boots that give way most of the time.

Getting the "hillbilly" modded maf working nicely with the AFC at the track took sometime. The car is finally on the right path.

Besides, nothing wrong with a conservative approach rather than going all out balls to the walls; the car was out of commission long enough.

This is exactly what I was thinking. The car has been up and down soooooo much that it needs this babying.

Rome wasnt built in a day

seems like that isn't working for us...

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

why do burnouts when sorting out isues? thats just a waste of rubber!

if we had made a few runs with no problems then we would have...

 

[Mook]

you can run 2.0+ 60fts on street tires. just seems like a waste is all.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

but street tires break free in 3rd

 

[Handsome Jesus]

yeah I agree. though kevin's tires are straight junk.

the car is on par with what 10sec did in his. with the short times down it'll be the same.

 

[UWISHU1]

very nice, sounded good.
