Rich(12sec67) and I scrambled to get it running before when headed to the track. We finally got everything sealed up and ready to pass tech.
Best I could muster was a 9.3 @ 53 and the best 60 was 1.9.
I went there with intentions of just testing the primaries to see what AFR's were where. Primaries seem to do OK. But the second I tip into, it stumbles over itself. So basically the times are half throttle, and backing off a few times. She leaves HARD, and at 2psi or so. I got two passes in. the second time I raised the floats, tightened up the pump, and stuck in a bigger squirter. Not exactly right, but I want to know if it is lean. Which I am sure. Problem is, with the 4.11's, gears don't last very long at all. so the second time around I dip into the secondaries, and it felt great. POOOOF, and of course a little white smoke. I make the turn for the return lanes and figure it was going to happen anyways.HG ? get back to the pits and the car dies. What is weird is the LM-1 is reading 20-1. I hear a hiss after I start the car up, because we check the coolant and oil and all seems fine. I try to bump it over to make sure the cylinder aren't hydrolocked, and it fires. I jump out and to my relief, find I split the supra PCV in two. I click it back together and all is well.
I have never been in a fast turbo car, only a stock supra. At half throttle, maybe 60%, this thing feels like the 100 shot at WOT. And quite honestly, it scares the piss outta me. I would hate to be in Paul's car. No thank you.
On a side note, I did feel like an attention whore. It was like I brought a Lambo to prom or something. Everyone was looking at my car. And after all the work, I feel good about it and loved every minute.
Thanx Rich, for the help
