Spill the beans...what's the cam specs? Jeremy...you have the same controller/box on the passenger fender as Mike...what is it? Nice car. I'm a sucker for that burgundy/wine colour. He also has a metal container on the right fender he keeps hitting me up to fill with race gas. Can't remember what it's for either. Way to complicated for me.

[good2win22]

Nice

[nocooler]

Thanks guys.


Brad - the box is a 2-step. The race gas goes in his dedicated fuel system for the nitrous.


Cam specs 231/237 .589/.595 112 LSA - the lobes are pretty "square" for a cam this size. This cam makes power everywhere and yet I can still load the engine to around 1300rpm without it surging.


I'm used to it sounds tame to me until I open the cutout.


Took the wife for a ride tonight 20psi in the tires helped a bunch, doesn't skate all over the place now. If I can get a camera mount cobbled I can do a ride along.

I was wrong tires are done - car came completely around on a 2-3 shift, and I just about shit myself. Once these get warm, I might as well be driving in the rain.


Looks like I'll be going to a local dyno day on the 25th to see what it'll hammer out. I'll be interesting to see a number. To bad I don't have a full bottle. I have no idea what to expect. I have a ball park of where it should be, should be fun.


I'm represented on my disability case now. So I just have to play the waiting game. Lawyer said about 12 months for a hearing. So car things are on hold until I start getting some income.


I'm tired of the ride down to University of Michigan - but I'm thankful they have doctors that can help me. These Michigan roads are terrible - usually takes me a full day to recover from the trip.

We'll see if these 9" slicks have any bite left in them when I test this new transmission tomorrow morning at the track. If everything looks good on PL I'll bounce the boost up a tad and do a little bracket racing. The 18 wheelers and turbo diesel 4x4 trucks take to the track after us. I'll get plenty of pics and post 'em.

Mike has a ton of money into his car...and I'm betting he put down 700 WHP for that 9.95 last week. If memory serves you were in the low 11 area...so I'll say 520 WHP.

Mike went 11.3 naturally aspirated the week before his 9 second run. 

[nocooler]

120-122mph - runs 11.3's
Well over 130 on the bottle.


I'm thinking 400 to the tire. We will see.

[nocooler]

Put another 120 miles on it. Maybe the tires are still good. I made some suspension changes and it doesn't skate around nearly as much. I think moving the lower control arms up one more hole should eliminate that.


I've been experimenting with a 3 gallons of 93 to one gallon of E85. I'm to lazy to even think about the Octane and ethanol percentage. Car seems to like it, I figure the extra octane is worth over the added fuel required and it saves a few dollars at the pump.


Car will get strapped down to a dyno next Saturday, and it'll probably be 88-92* with 60+ on the humidity and the car will be driven there and home. Bottle is full and I'm going to wack it with 100 or 150 depending on where the numbers end up N/A. Might need the spray to break 400

Hit the dyno today.

Drove 35 miles there and back

Nice work! I was a little off at predicting 520.

[good2win22]

That's awesome!  Field of dreams... Dyno in the middle of a corn field

[Scoobum]

Jeremy...what pistons are in that engine. I'll ask my buddy Mike how much spray they can handle.

[nocooler]

Stock pistons - some guys hit them with 300 and they live and others break them with 150. It's all in the tune.

I'm happy with the numbers
