Another best for Jason Warren

Went to Bowling Green today....Car got 4.11's last week and we wanted to see what would happen...

60' 1.29
1/8 ?? time clock messed up
1/4 9.58@140.2

This was on a 300 shot (TNT plate kit)

the car also had a great day for 60 foot times.. best of 1.28.. also 1.29 and 1.32

Needless to say, he is pleased.. a good way to close out the season! The stock crank is still hangin in there!

When my stock bottom end goes I'm just getting forged pistons and Eagle H-beams. If the stock crank can live up to that......well you get the picture. Congrats to Jason.

And who says GM cant make good quality cranks? lol I wouldnt recommend you counting on the stock crank holding up, keep in mind he only drives the car occasionally. We joke around all the time calling his car the time bomb. That is why he was so gung ho every time he raced this year...wanted to get a good clean pass before the crank took off down the track ahead of the car It is walking, but I guess as long as everything walks together it will work..

He still seems to think it has a little more in it, we shall see next year I guess. I will have some times to post also. Damn car has been down way too long..

Thanks

Man that car gives me some hope....that thing is flat out flying. What kind of fuel system is on Jason's car? Does he run a separate fuel cell for the nitrous or just one big pump? Stock fuel lines? Thanks for the info.

What rpm is he shifting at...?

What stall is he using..? I saw you posted what it flashed to on spray....what is it supposed to stall on the 'brake...?

Is he using the brake on that launch and if so, what rpm was he leaving at...?

How is that T-n-T plate configured to allow a 300shot...? Most companies discourage going over 200-225hp on a TPI/LT1 manifold plate wet kit.

I already heard he is still using the factory PCM. That gives me hope.

What fasteners is he using in the bottom-end...?

Internal balance (?) and with what damper/flywheel combination...?

I'm just Mr. ask-a-lot aren't I. We're hoping to try running some high 9s eventually and my plans are very near where Jason is now. I'm part of the kyfbodies and was present for the wheelstand exhibition earlier this year.

Were the front end limiters the key to keeping it down...? A change in pinion angle...? What...?

Many thanks for the info. It'd be nice to have Jason come out to a club meeting or gathering and share some tips and ideas so maybe we can give him some competition.
