well i got the ole shifting prblem fixed so i went out and tested last night, it ran good 13.77 @97.49 not bad for a 2 ton boat

 

Congrats. I got worse!

I was down there Wednesday night and did worse then before the cam install. I went from 13.09 at 110 with a 2.2* 60' to a 13.35 at 111 with a 2.3* 60'. Saying that I was running on old street tires that wouldn't stick on the launch or on the shifts. I also have to tune for the cam. At least my MPH went up even though I got slow.

 

How did you fix it, you had told me that you might have to go to a smaller stall, but knowing you, you probaly just kept tweaking the LT1 Edit until the "Heavy Chevy" shifted right.

 

Seeing those trap speeds you should easily be into the 12's with the right tires and a good launch. I bet tuning would even pull a few more mph out of it too.

Good luck, and congrats ryan on those times. Sounds pretty dang good for the mods you got and the weight of the car!

Ahhh. Nothing like a drag boat


Ryan: Good numbers, and I still have those tips if your intrested

Makes me sotra miss my old B-body.

Ah, where I might have been with it had I kept it.... *sigh*

Oh well..

 

well i bought some hooker Tips that look really good
if i ad removed the stuff in the trunk and the spare tire it would be about 150# less weight, it will run a 13.5 or better soon

 

Cool man, we need to do some catching up man! I'd like to go to the track some time to see her run.

P.S. Car is still KO'ed

 

the next midnight madness is november 2nd so plan on going to that, did you get the opti and injectors ?

 

22nd for Midnight madness.

Ryan when would be availible to help me take the A/C out? I have the tubing and compresor out. I need to get the heater core and evaporator out now and have no idea were to start. Give me a call on my cell.

 

Congrats on the times.

I've been cutting my way into 4cyl. mode on my MSD. should be track time soon.

By the way, I saw you run at Midnight madness, what exactly was making your car keep tapping the rev limiter when it was shifting? was it converter related?

 

Ryan: of course not I still saving the money for it. My woman's birthday just passed, and I had a speeding ticket to take car of " I didn't know 6 bangers could acclerate to 75 from a dead stop on coming from a turn So I'm hoping by the end of Nov. I'll have the money saved up

yeah its the high stall converter that gives the PCM a problem i got it fixed now though..
i missed a key o they ate thanks Ryan, i may be able to come by next week for the HVAC box, the dash has to be pulled

 

That would be great. No big hurry, I just want to get it ready to go when I finaly do get the money to get the tranny done.
