ANOTHER run at the 9's
i will just spill it. nope. didn't do it. still got a ways to go. ohh so close though.
got up at 4:30am to drive 3 hours and hit up a track. that wasn't so bad. the track was cold and they spent a lot of time warming it up so things got started late.
the first run i just lit up the tires and let off then hit it again. ran something like a 11.6@126 at low boost. i ran the tires cold with no burn out.
2nd run was a little better pulled a 1.8 60' smoking all 4
, kyle has a clip of this run i am trying to get from him. ran a 11.0@129. boost was around 15psi. i warmed the tires a little and my buddys knocked the rocks off the front tires right before i raced.
3rd run i got the tires nice and hot and got the front tires cleaned off. it got off the line prety good but was violent. i messed up my boost controler settings so it went to high boost right off the line instead of waiting till 2nd gear. i hit it with about 18psi right off the line. the truck overreved a little in 1st gear and hit the limiter. i ended up running a 10.18@135. i was prety happy with this run till someone noticed it pushed a little coolant out of the reserve
4th run i got the tires nice and hot again. cleaned the fronts. took 2deg off the timing(from 19 to 17deg) and bumped the boost up a little. i also remember to turn on the speed based boost controler. it left hard and a lot smoother than the last run. got a 10.11@136. once again it pushed a little coolant . this run it showed some KR, the other runs were prety clean. also on this run i could see the fuel presure moving around a little. got my best 60' ever. 1.53. this was at 13psi in 1st gear and 20psi after the shift and a 150shot up till it hit 7psi.
there was a strong head wind and it was very cold. on the 3rd run at 18psi and 19deg of timing i was kind of suprized it was pushing coolant with no knock but with the temps being in the 40's i guess it was making some prety decent power.
there are a couple more track days before the season is over. i am going to try for 9's at least one more time. going to pull the pasenger seat, exhaust, wipers, washer fluid, change, floor mats....... everything i can think of. might do a traction device of some kind too. i dont think i can turn the power up any higher. maybe with better gas and a better fuel system?
i am starting to think i might not have to hit 9's. it is really dificult and i am near the limit of many parts right now.

Everybody I know who has Caltracs swear by them. They definately help to evenly spread the load and I hear they work really well with DRs and even better with slicks. Good luck....you know we're pulling for ya!
If you didn't have the head wind....I bet you'd be in the 9's already!

Damn, I thought your new set-up was going to make 9,s easy, well not really easy. lol
What is up with the coolent????? Din't you do some o-ring head gaskets, or something? I remeber you talking about it, I think that may have been before the aftermarket heads..
