Set a new best MPh this weekend but no new et. I spun pretty hard to a 1.54 60' and went 10.96 @ 125.7. I like the mph but wish I could have hooked it like the week before and pulled that 1.45 60'.

Da as +750 and race weight was 3420 ish.

Your definitly layin the power down with that MPH, are those numbers N/A?

 

That extra throttle helped huh? Hey I e-mailed b/c I wanted to ask you a few questions since you have been doing LT1's longer than I. Shoot me an e-mail @ clint.schexnayder@cingular.com. Later Clint

 

Yep..thats Na.

Clint..sorry..I got your email but was planning to reply later..then I forgot ..sorry and will reply tomorrow.

 

damn thats impressive.
what are you shifting it at? from your site it looks like your still running the stock computer.

 

Shifting at 6850ish. Thought I had my high end studder problem fixed. I moved it up some but it starts studdering at 6850. I need to shift at 6950. Yep..still running stock computer.

 

Impressive!!

Thx,
Claude

 

Just curious, but what kind of power are you putting down at the wheels.

Randy

 

I made 435 rwhp through a 9" and 4.71 gears last time. I should be making more now though. I will re dyno here soon to find out if it actually is.

 

i would think you would be closer to 500... i dynoed 390 and i trap around 115... you got another 10 mph on me

 

Like I said..it should be a tad more now...but no where near 500 rwhp. Its the cars total setup running these numbers..not just the dyno numbers. I"m getting to a point where the car is almost perfectly setup for what its doing.

 

do you know how much your car weighs?

also how is the torque?

 

Tim there quite a few things you could improve upon to get the car quicker in the 1/4 with your current hp level. With 125mph traps you should be able to et 10.50's-60's. You should try some radial slicks good for 1 tenth et and there are alot of little tricks out there and I am sure you have a few already but you never know until you try something new. Later Clint

 

Torque was in the 420 range with over 380 ft lbs at 3200 rpms.

Clint..yea...share away..or im me. I'm all about little tricks. I've tried to get frank to share em but he is stingy. Its justharder with a stick car at this level. But I determined to get it. The racers tell me that at about 11.5ish .....you will always go faster with a auto.

 

congrats! that is great mph and a great et! only a matter of time till the tracks open up here i am still in the process of seating the rings. my 11.01 on motor has been haunting me, oh well only 4 weekends away till i can race the car

can you say tens for fun then two weeks after that my 6 speed record will fall...... i hope


my guess is you are making about 450 at the wheels, damn 4.71 gear ratio!
