New track times with new setup

Finally got to the track to test the new setup out....track cond were terrible and the DA was +3900ft first pass on the new setup with 15psi 9.77@147 in and out of the throttle with a 1.57 60' my car always 60's in the 1.3's turned it up to 17psi and ran 9.34@149 with a 1.51 60'...not to bad for the first time out in bad conditions...and this thing really responds to the boost on the 1st run ran 116mph in the 1/8 and with the 17 pounds on the last run ran almost 121mph in the 1/8th...cant wait to get to a nice track and see what it will run at 24-25psi

Thumbs up Re: New track times with new setup

Congrats. That's smoking. Looks like 8's with optimal track and weather conditions on full boost. Keep us posted.

yeah im still here ....just been real busy with work and other things, got tired of the blower belt thing, so i figured i would just eliminate the belt thing all together ...yeah we still need to tune the thing and put some boost to it, with the right weather and track conditions i think 16-18psi should get me my 8 sec slip......we will be running 24+ when we get all dialed in

No real updates.....the last time at the track we could not find any traction (track was not prepped)....at 16 PSI the car ran 9.20's @150mph...we are changing converters also...the one in the car is slipping real bad...we should be back out soon and try 20+psi and see what happens....on the 9.2 run we were getting hi 1.5 60' times
and pic of set on my websight
