We don't have a 1/4 mi track close around here so 1/8 will have to do until I get a cage. My collector bolts keep coming loose, and drops the psi from 8 to 7. I did get two good passes where I didn't have to let out.After the first pass I spent an hour trying to find a miss at 5600-5800. Then to make it complicated it was doing it at a free rev without a load. The chip was set to 6400 so I gathered the balls to hit it. Come to find out the damn thing was hitting early, or my tach is off. Since I didn't bring the other chips, I just took it out. Problem solved.
First good pass got me [email protected] with a 1.72. I have to find where I shifted to get the MPH. The next pass was even better. [email protected] with a 1.62 60ft. Traction still sucks and I can't build but 1, maybe 2 at most. I don't know what going on. I used to get traction like nobodies business. I don't understand if the track prep is that poor or what... Still pump gas. I'd like to see 6.70's or 6.80's with this setting once it gets worked out and get a trans brake. Finally passed my old nitrous setup with the 100 shot, but I still haven't filled a bottle.
Gonna start making kits here pretty soon. Nothing fancy. Just enough to split a block on pump gas.
Maybe now I'm fast enough for this guy. Half the stuff he says is wrong, but hey. And when I had a sentence in my sig to the effect of "Hopefully 475 to the ground will get me into the 10's on a home built motor and trans. So out of no where i get this PM. Don't even know the guy, nor even seen him post. And when I got this my motor was making 473 ft/lbs to the ground. To bad he spent so much on things. My tranny only cost me 430 to build. 1000hp to get into the 10's ?!?!
10 second....you've got a way to go.

I can run just under 11 in my 64.5 on gas from 2nd on out. On gas I have ~ 530HP and 560ft.lbs of torque. I run 10.25:1, and have about $8000 invested in the engine. a 9.9 class gas car requires about 1000 HP to get into those times. The curve of HP to track time is not linear PLUS most of the little calculators do not account for loss in the drive train, tire rotations, loss of torque in the body, etc. I do not want to depress you but to get 10 seconds out of a 2500 lb car with 450 HP at the rear wheels only gives: 10.7 seconds and says your traction is perfect. Also note your speed would be around 150MPH! My car is built to hit the track/street hard and often, I have 2500 in the trans alone, TCP r&9, flared rear fenders and 275/50 r15 nitto drag radials and a bunch more ponies than you do and there's not a snow balls chance in hadies of getting to tens.
However, it don't take that much to run low 12s, and low 12s will eat just about everything in the stop-light to stop-light street fight. With little work, but some money 2500lbs. can fly and a 3300lb vette needs quite a bit to keep up with you. of course, he'll pass you later but...my blocks are not that long
