Finally got the SVO running good enough to take it to the track (www.srcadragstrip.com). I didn't have any good tires for it so I ended up running on 215-60-16 Kumho Ecsta hard as a rock (340 treadwear) tires. They are about 90% worn off (how did that happen?
Unplugging the knock sensor on back to back runs went from 94.8 mph to 101.4 mph
Best runs where made with a spike to 21 that would settle to 18-19psi
Best 60': 2.29
Best 330': 6.20
Best 1/8 ET: 9.27
Best 1/8 MPH: 80.27
Best 1000': 11.92
Best 1/4 ET: 14.11
Best 1/4 MPH: 103.24
Best Full Run:
60': 2.37
1/8 ET: 9.32
1/8 MPH: 80.27
1/4 ET: 14.11
1/4 MPH 103.24
There were two vehicles there I wanted to run...they kept racing each other though. A new GTO and a new Ram SRT-10. Both of them must have been horrible drivers as they were both trapping under 98mph and running 14.5-15.2 ET's
Best race of the night was against a cherry '70 Chevelle with a 454 and an auto trans (unsure of engine mods). What I do know is they were on slicks and had an MSD box to launch with. Here is the slip:
SVO Chevelle
60': 2.34 2.075
1/8 ET: 9.32 8.835
1/8 MPH: 80.27 79.51
1/4 ET: 14.11 13.75
1/4 MPH 103.24 100.03
I was running it down on the big end but ran out of track...
Overall I was happy with the way it ran for the first time to the track. It's still basically untuned as the a/f ratio is between 10.5-11.0:1 throughout the run.
Oh, and it appears that the 103.28 trap speed could correlate with an ET as low as 13.2 if conditions were right...like if I had slicks.
