Ok the clutch is in. I haven't made a test run or break-in yet but it went back together smoothly.
At some point this coming thursday I will be making the 70th pass this year.
I'm going to go for broke(safely lol) and see what it is really capable of.
Planned Changes: Feel free to stop me or add things.
1-volvo cooler
2-remove seats
3-remove exhaust.....it will be Stinger's DP and a turndown out of the car.
4-skinnier front tires pumped up to 50psi
5-sway bar unhooked(if I get to it)
6-drag launch air-bag in the pass side with 20psi.
7-aluminum driveshaft(if I can find one)
8-some nitrous, if I can get everything for my kit to spray an EFI car.
9-if I get motivated I'll hook up my home-made 2-step ignition and try that out too.
My best so far is 8.966 @75.92 in the 1/8th. I'm hoping with numbers 1,2,3, & 4, to drop a tenth or 2 of a second. Also 5 & 6 may cut down on the 60ft a little. I still haven't found the fogger nozzle and lines that I need yet but I have a few days.
I guess my main goal is to break the 8.3 mark, which based on the conversion tables that would put me at very high 12's in the 1/4 mile. My ultimate goal is to break past 7.99, which would put it at mid 12's in the 1/4. lol I don't see that being possible unless I spray it hard and I get alot out of what I spray it.
Basic calculators say 2750lbs would take 280hp. Um...
Currently time says 2851lbs takes 210hp. Very basic but I guess I could pick up an honest 70 hp with the above and a 75hp shot.
