well,it's not what i was hoping for but not too bad either.

12.15 @ 109 with a 1.73 60', that is with 8psi and a 75shot <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> , i really wanted an 11 but i think the weather was hosing me. my 1/8 time was better from last week with only a 35shot than any i could get tonight with a 75shot, must have been the weather, about 40deg warmer today.

here is a video of my first run it is with no nitrous, just whipple at 8psi

here is another video of a wild launch, once it got dark the videos didn't look good but you can see the launch, 8psi and 75shot.

my best 60' of the night was a 1.671 and that was with a 50shot, didn't think i would see a 1.6x 60'

<img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> im impressed.gtech times were about a 1/2 second off?

no, gtech times were when it was COLD out, i gteched nearly every run tongiht and the gtech was between 1 and 2/10ths fast every run. hey slowverado, glad i didn't bet you on the acuracy of the gtech i would have lost that bet big time.

Man thats great! I'm sorry you didn't get your 11 sec slip, well kinda. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> But no matter, 12.15 is bustin *****. That was one hell of a launch. How many runs did you get in? I assume that you just didn't go from 8psi to a 75 shot on top without something in between.


I need another power adder.

got 6 runs in, i will just list them off in order

12.94@101.98, 1.75 8psi only
13.03@102.15, 1.82 8psi only
12.25@107.75, 1.67 8psi+50shot
12.15@109.05, 1.73 8psi+75shot
12.26@109.22, 1.77 8psi+75shot
12.24@108.56, 1.73 8psi+75shot

couple of things going on here, i am still a little lean in 1st and way rich in 3rd, i tested a 50 shot with the recomended fuel jet and it got even leaner so i used the 75fuel with the 50nitrous. that took me the other way(more rich). i figured i should be safe and leave it rich so when i jumped to the 75 nitrous i went with the 100fuel and it is WAY rich, like 10.3-10.5 or so. i need to get some extra fuel jets so i can jet it anywhere i like, try and get a mixture that maintians my blower only mixture.

probably wont see an 11sec slip for awhile, i have been driving around with a bunch of parts missing off my truck and running good gas all the time and filling that bottle, i am spending too much on fuel and racing and it is cutting into my mod money, i need to run a pump gas frinedly 6psi for awhile and start saving for my next round of mods. after jumping up to a 75last night i am prety sure a forged stock stroke rebuild with a bigger shot wont make me happy, i think i need to go with a 408+ set up. i want more power without the nitorus and then even more with.

now back to the hard question, iron 408 or 421 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> , probably be able to swing the short block before summer is over.

and how about that tranny! prety impressed, warrenty is prety much up now so hopefully i will get another year out of the thing. maybe by then they will have some bullet proof parts for these things, someone is probably working on it.

I love it. I'm real happy the tranny is holding up for you. I bet that gas / xylene / nitrous bill is pretty hard to swallow. That stuff gets expensive real quick.

Were you sweating it when you hit the 75 shot the first time?

parish8

iTrader: (6)

didn't really sweat the 75 too much because i could see from my times that i still wasn't up the to power level that i was at the week before when it was cold.


i got one for ya, if my truck will pull an 11sec time when it is cold out with 8psi and a 35shot is it any harder on anything to pull an 11sec 1/4 when it is warmer out and hit it with a 8psi and a 100shot? basicly make up for the weather with more nitrous?
