Heading to track. #3

351wcoupe · Jun 10, 2004

Going back to the track in about hour to at least outrun cro's best time 9.5.

I put good gas in it this time, diconnected the knock sensor, checked cam timing, ignition timing stock @ 10*, boost at 18 PSI.
This time out I'm going to try to get the car to pull all the way down the track instead of have of the 1/8th.
Best 60 ft: 2.088
Best 1/8th:9.68
Best MPH :used to be about 72-75. Lately its been high 60's.
I'm shooting for all new best times tonight.(as always)

notched86: if you guys get this and have time head to sumerduck we'll be there around 5.

best wishes, may you have great traction, etc. etc.

I'm still beating you too btw, 9.63. Upgrades sitting on the workbench, so you better beat me smartly.

-that's the svo, no slips yet for the LX.

notched86 · Jun 10, 2004

hey, my dad and koolaid 4cyl are going to try and head up that way

see you there hopefully

Bearded Forever · Jun 10, 2004

I know when I ran 89 in my car it felt like ****.
It was the gas all along.

Stinger · Jun 10, 2004

I'll have to dig out my old slips to see what my 1/8th times where....I'm pretty sure I trapped 73mph at 13psi.

351wcoupe · Jun 10, 2004

140cilx · Jun 11, 2004

You whupped me.

If I could figure out how to get my 60' like that, that'd be nice.

Good job man!

Back to the garage for me.

MPH are still low, why?

Bearded Forever · Jun 11, 2004

Aww damn. Now I have to go back to the 1/4 mile track sometime in the next 5 weeks.

BelueLX · Jun 11, 2004

those are pretty good times. someone sell me a turbo 2.3L cheap I want one. swapped or SVO doesnt matter to me

Stinger · Jun 11, 2004

Why can't you get below 2.0 with slicks? You should be in the 1.7-1.8 range. What rpm are you leaving at?

351wcoupe · Jun 11, 2004

thanks its still has more in it.

Right now the engine is 100% stock long block, cam and intakes, TC intercooler, all stock parts. Stock timing, 18 PSI.
Only mods are pullies, exhaust, boost valve, and AFPR, I was searching why the MPH was still slow. At 9.4 I would expect 75-76. I didn't have a fuel pressure tester with me ( I took everything else though)
I drove it 3 identyical 9.7 runs. all with 2.1 60fts and none over 70 MPH. Since I didn't have a gauge so I started making a 1/2 turn to add fuel for each run and I dropped a tenth each time. I got to make about 10 passes again tonight and I would run it twice after each adjustment. I ran out of time to see how long that would continue to drop time. With each increment it run would exactly the same until I changed it again, so I'm at least doing my job.

My AF gauge got stupid. When I started adding fuel, it would read across 5-6 lights. Not telling me much so I'll check on that tonight.

I was leaving at about 4500 with about 8-9psi.

351wcoupe · Jun 11, 2004

On the 9.5 and 9.4 runs I was racing a friend that I work with in a 75 Chevy laguna w/ a mildly built 350 and a 150hp shot. He's got a big ego and the first time I ran him I beat him .6953. which was 1.5 cars. The second run he took off a little better and he beat me .0105. Eventually he went 8.6 but not before everyone in Luray saw me pull him 3-4 cars off the line.

I'm on lunch now I only worked about 3 hours an dI've already had 2people ask me about it.

hey just looking at your sig. Thats about what I'm shooting for 79MPH would be nice only time will tell.
What kind of 60ft and 330 did you run?

BelueLX · Jun 11, 2004

im glad u owned a chevy in your 4cyl lol. he had nitrous and only ran a 8.6? sure it isn't a 305?

85 Coupe 5.0 · Jun 11, 2004

Here are mine:

5.0L mentioned in my sig...

R/T .665
60' 2.12
330 5.90
1/8 9.05
MPH 78.18
1000' 11.785
1/4 14.09
MPH 98.19

This is without slicks.

351wcoupe · Jun 11, 2004

great thanks.
your a .1 faster at half track and .4 over all. I'm still looking for at least a 9.2 next time out.
That also shows me if I can get my MPH back up I can run solid 14's stock.

I know everything down to his cam card. I followed his "build-up" for a while now.
All motor I pulled 3 cars on him in my lightning. Its funny he ordered his kit the next day. I offered to run him when he got it hooked up, but I think he knows I have everything to spray it too.

When I ran him he said his bottle was running out he went 9.946 and said he let off. My buddy jason that was riding with him said he didn't. Mostly his driving. He is at least 450hp on spray and had a 2.2 60ft He was catching me quick though.

My black coupe on slicks ran a 1.83 pulled the driver's wheel and went 7.88 at 89 and a friend's mild 302 w/ 125shot had a 1.78 and ran 7.73 at 91.

I don't see that being possible with the current combo. lol give me time.

I would try:

15 degrees of timing
unplug the knock sensor
Bag O' ice on the IC
dyno that thing and get the fuel pressure good under full boost.

from what I saw of the time slip, that is like a mid 14 to 15 second run.

I think she's got more in her.

Yeah I had 26x10.5x15
KS unplugged
I had the ice on the intercooler and the intake
I drove it about 2 hours ago and the fuel pressure when I ran it was 42psi vacuum unhooked and hooked up it went up to 60 psi but I couldn't watch all the gauges so I don't know how much boost that was.

If I turn the timing up that far can I still run 93 octane and will I need to turn the boost down?
