I took my car to the track today.

I went knowing I would be short shifting and not using my t-brake but I wanted to see what it would run...basically I have been tired of fixing stuff and never running the car.

On this run I shifted @ 6000 rpm (I am working on my ignition issue), launched @ 1800 rpm and there was an 8-10 mph headwind . It was breaking up going thru the traps.

Times:

60' - 1.5802
330' - 4.5613
594' - 6.6140
660' - 7.0763 @ 97.34
1000' - 9.2170
1320' - 11.0811 @ 123.01



Should be quicker when I get the ignition issued resolved and leave on the t-brake.

 

write the times out......my eyes aren't that good

 

Picture didn't even show up for me....

 

1.55 - 60'
7.0763@97.34 - 1/8
11.0811@123.01 - 1/4

Lookin good! What are the expected times once everything is all dialed in?

 

Nice times!

 

Good to finally see that car come together. It's definately a 9 second car, just needs some bugs worked out.

I figure mid 10's on the stock PCM.

I have a F.A.S.T. system on the way and once I dyno the car with the rpm miss gone I will have an ideal of where I should shift and if the system should go on before my twin turbo combo.

The car I raced was an mid 80's Monte Carlo...Regal...along those lines.

 

Twin turbo combo? Your killing me here.

 

what kind of ignition issues are rou working on

 

nice times and mph Canton, even with ignition issues. let us know how the FAST system works out for you too...

 

At about 6200 rpm it was just breaking up something fierce so when the tach hit 6000 rpm I was shifting.

The only item I never replaced in the ignition is the stock opti-spark. Even though the Delteq eliminates the opti-spark somewhat, it still uses the optical sensor which itself is not prone to failure...but the bearings that house the sensor have been known to fail.

I also believe this might be causing my timing issues....I do not know what timing I have.

 

I am curious to how the FAST system works on the car myself?

And thanks for the comps.

 

How about a quick rundown of the combo for us. I remember a long long time ago you talking about a 396 i think. Looks like it runs real strong that mph is great for the conditions you described, good work .

Compression is a little high. Other than that I'm jealous.
