Well, I got the car running the day before the shootout, so tuning and breaking in the motor were now out the window. I spent the better part of sat. night partying and trying to get the 2 stage boost set up figured out. No beans there either, fast forward to Sun.
I figured out 5 minutes before time trials I had the vac lines all wrong, so I reset them and take a guess on the boost setting. With all the issues, no tune and the inability to do so BC my logger didn’t want to work, and an ignition issue under boost due to either shitty wires, used plugs, lack of ground-or a combination there of, the car ran crappy, BUT…
The miss under boost was selective-in a gear or 2, and then the other 2 were good. I will let you see what I am seeing
Pass A-
R/t-.506
60-2.01
330-5.51
1/8th -8.29@90.1mph (bad miss in 2nd gear, almost aborted run)
1000ft-10.3
1/4mile-12..08@129.2mph
4th gear held 28psi-no miss-holy shit it was moving. Picked up nearly 40mhp in the back half.
Pass B.-turned boost down to 23psi-re-gaped plugs to try and get rid of miss fire.
R/t. .201 (pro tree oo)
60-1.96
330-5.20
1/8th -7.78@99mph (no miss at all-23psi-dead nuts with 10.3’s Talon..)
1000-9.98
¼-11.803@125mph
About to pass the fruit and banana-shift 3rd and rbrbrbbrbrb fruit and banana missing again, missing into 4th and then cleaned up in the end.
Other runs were more of the same shitty crap. So the car ran poppy, but I am excited by the writing on the wall of what the car will do when I can make a clean miss free pass. Do the math (first half B with back half A). Should be interesting.
