Slow...WTF why

[thetrousertrout]

Nitrous is now hooked up! But...Damn rain spoiled the fun at the track tonight... Definately much faster and thats only with a 100 shot, Gotta tune it and figure out where the sweet spot is for fuel with the wideband and then start all over again with a 150 and then the 200 shot.

 

[niklid05]

let us know/take pics when your block splits in half video would be even better.

 

[Modular2v]

you need to have your total timing set around 38!

 

[thetrousertrout]

Total timing is at 34 or 35 degrees total (approx 30 total with the retard) right now. (Two heavy silver springs and the Blue advance stop bushing in the MSD dizzy and 14 degrees inital timing.) I also have an MSD 8680 adjustable timing control and its retarded 4 degrees right now. Spark plugs are Autolite 23's so two heat ranges cooler, Only going to be running 94 octane. Im going to keep playing with it until im happy/run out of all three bottles of nitrous/run out of tires/Get a ticket...etc etc, You choose! Any way you look at it im going to have fun for a while!!!

 

[thetrousertrout]

Well I ran it with the nitrous...(100shot) Definatly need to mount and run the slicks got a very traction limited 13.095 @ 102.30mph
Still doesnt feel like its pulling hard enough at the top end but I will figure it all out!

Tc 19c
SP 895 hPa
RH 31%
VP 6.813 hPa
DA 4747 ft

Dont have a clue what it would be time wize calculated for sea level but hey... Im not at sea level!

 

[ttop88]

I don't see suspension on your nut and bolt list? If you want down the track fast you haft to hook. You are leaving 4 tenths on the table in the first 60ft. That is 8 tenths at the big end!

 

[leroy93lx]

Have you ever tried stalling up the converter rather than flashing it? Less shock on the rear suspension = more traction.

 

[thetrousertrout]

uuuh yeah I tryed the old traditional way of building up the stall converter but with street tires I spun to half track with a 60 ft time of 2.5something and a 14.5 @102 Going to try again with slicks next time!

 

[Gunnerm1]

Heads, even junk yard gt40's would wake that sucker up. Your valve train is probably going to crap at about 4400 . 13's on a 100 shot is not to bad, and alot of fun.

"not a whole lot of money"

sounds like a decent amount of money to me for parts that arent cutting the times much

 

[UnderdogGN]

its already been said but heads alone will make it feel like a different car. I have experience with this. I had basically the same combo as you: Fcam, stock heads, exhaust, intake, gears, stall and was running consistant 14.6's. Switched to AFR heads and 24# injectors and it now runs 13.3's all day. So i picked up close to a second and a half with just heads!

 

[thetrousertrout]

Well I'm into the 12's [email protected] still on the 100 shot heres the rundown...
60' 1.878
330' 5.290
1/8 8.201 @ 84.19mph
1000' 10.743
1/4 12.909 @ 104.35
run was at 9:04 pm

6pm
Tc 15c
SP 886 hPa
RH 40%
VP 6.822
DA 4626

7pm
Tc 14
SP 886
RH 42
VP 6.715
DA 4510

8pm

RH 46
VP 6.890
DA 4397

10pm
Tc 12
SP 885
RH 48

I am extremely happy with this as I still plan on running a 200 shot and this winter may be turboing the car with a 351 and megasquirt for tuning. We will see how plans unfurl!

Here's a link to a video of my Mustang and a bunch of other friends rides on Friday night! (Including a 4cyl pinto that runs 11.13 in the 1/4) You'll especially love my turning the nitrous on to find out that my full throttle switch decided to stick on! Lets just say I sure can turn off a switch fast!

lmfao.

 

[thetrousertrout]

I didnt say the cameraman was sane I just said that heres a video!

 

[woodyy24]

u need heads and a better intake. AFRs or Twited wedges and a single plane intake. (victor junior)

where did you orientate that timing set? did you advance or retard it any?
