Finally, finally made some clean passes. Me and 12sec67 headed out tonight both with the intentions on 7's at least (his first outting with new stroker). I was a little more optimistic about his times than he was. I was right
I am still waiting to put in the new 3.25's in the rear with the spool. But I wanted to see what it would do with these gears (2.75's). The tranny did not like it all I'm sure. Poor stall was a 3500, but was up around 4500 it sounded like(still can't get my tach to work.) I don't know were I was shifting, but I don't think it was real high. It was pilled at 6400 and never hit it. Next outing wil be with new gears at least. Then different slicks. My rims are a litle wide and I can't go below 25psi or so otherwise they just cup in the middle and I have no footprint. Plus she comes a little loose at about the 80ft mark. It's a little scary.
I wasn't able to build any boost at the line with the dogleg rear. But all B.S. aside it went 7.38 @ 96.3 MPH/ Thank GOD I put on the granada discs before I went out. I made another pass and sh0rt shifted when the tires came loose and went 7.34 @ 96 again. I bumped up the timing 2 deg the next round and spun pretty bad a pulled a 1.83 60ft. But the MPH was up....7.34 @96.98 Made another pass and got the same 7.3 @96.98 Total timing ended up at 22 locked, with 8psi and 91 octane. Apparently my new nick name is the wall hugger at the track, says the announcer. Never had a pretty bad one. But I'll dial this one in, too. Turbos are cool.
My fuel curves would make an EFI guy jealous.
I gots a long way to go, but the MPH shows potential.

10secgoal is right... i didn't think i would be running a best of 7.6's after getting it tuned and he said 7.3-7.4 after tuned- i guess he's right. 1st pass high 7.7 @ 87, did a jet change got a higher mph 7.7 @ 89, borrowed some guys timing gun and put the timing down to 32 degrees total timing locked out from 45 (my mistake-i didn't have timing light) ran a 7.6 @87, another jet change and ran my best time which is below. still need to play with the timing a little after i get a timing light.
next time i'll put the skinnies on the front - i was to lazy this time
i finished first but clearly he beat me with his time.
I always heard it both ways.
