Didn't kill it yet...Running Good

[Foose04]

Well I was a little nervous that I hurt the truck when I was in Ohio, so i'm very happy with the results. Little back story on that, I road tripped to Ohio. Made one pass at a 1/4 mile track and had 1 cooling fan out (bad relay). After getting hung up by tech for dumb stuff at the burnout box, truck was 210 at the starting line :? and logged 235 coolant temp at 1/4 mile mark. Truck was gutless due to around 10 degree's pulled out and I let out early to a 11.0@125MPH. Got tossed for no cage and that's the end. Bad day, crap pass, and over all shitty...

700 miles later, back in Charleston at the Chessa.

First one at 19psi went 104.69 MPH and second pass was at 20psi and 35'ish wet shot went 106.94. Good news is truck picked up hair stronger on lower boost and smaller nitrous pill on a hot night, so looks good for new cam.

Glad the new cam and trans issues seem to be behind you. Some of these turbo vehicles on here have me thinking harder about taking the gas off of my car and going FI.

[schardbody]

man that truck moves. how much boost are you getting at the line?

[Foose04]

Thanks Hawk.

schardbody, when I use the bottle I use it on two windows. You'll notice on the bottle pass i'm up on 2step much faster. One window is 2200-3200. Then I was on a 3500 2-step which brought me up to 15psi at the line. Ended up being to much though and the second window had the bottle back on at 4000 to 6800. I'm planning a trip to Carolina on thursday, i'm thinking 3300 2step/10psi boost at the line and second window at 4500ish is going to be the sweet spot. Well see though.

It does seem the truck is moving weight better with Qa1's and v6 springs.

[Matts94Z28]

Lookin good

[chrisheltra]

Looks like its transferring better. Looks like the front end needs to be slowed down a little bit.

[Foose04]

Yeah Chris, what do you run your front Qa1's at? I'm at 2 right now, i'm thinking about trying 4 and and little less RPM at the line as well.

[chrisheltra]

I have them set on 3. Id keep the rpm if your not spinning.

[Foose04]

It spun on the shot, I just got to aggressive I think.

I agree though, it might be coming up to quickly. You interested in hitting Carolina up on Thursday? Should be good weather.

Im interested but cant make it. Im busy all week training soldiers and cant take any time off work.

[minytrker]

Every time I see video's the truck gets faster! Its impressive for a 4.8 and you actually drive it. Wish you were in TX there are a couple fast turbo trucks down here.

[Foose04]

Still very much a "truck" .

I feel your pain thats how mine looks when the wife travels with me.

[454rat]

Have you weighed the truck lately? I plan on hitting the scales at Carolina to see what the malibu weighs

[2001hawk]

Hells yeah. Did you see how they had it hooking. Couldn't even break traction in a puddle. Because racecar mutha trucker.

[Foose04]

Did he DQ'ed for a/c dripping or no cage? I was looking forward to some door by door action!

They are now know as "Shitcare" to me. They wouldn't even let me run 8th mile afterwords. I guess they have new owners now and crazy anal. I'll never go back, but 10 years ago that place rocked.

I haven't with the hybird race trim aka Bogarts, right seat delete, 3/4 tank, towing crap, bottle and tailgate on. I'd guess 4400-4450. Well have to scale her up.

[ForceFed4g63]

I see some golf clubs in there, we should do a CHP golf day!

[Foose04]

I'm up for a CHP golf day. You pick me up and drive us there, I'll drive the golf cart and drink a lot better. Ow and play golf!

[ForceFed4g63]

Lol, sounds like a plan.

[chrisheltra]

Golf bags fit in the back of neons....?

If you guys play at Crowfield swing by and pick me up on the golf cart real quick.

The trunk and back seat are surprisingly big in that car. I can fit 3 dead hookers in the trunk.

My uncle runs there and we used to have the Supercoupe Shootout there. I guess those new owners didn't want the shootout or something like that now. :roll:

[shdw on th sun]

Not to be a douche, but why should the track let your truck run, with less safety equipment than required for your ET or trap speed, put their NHRA status on the line so you can run the track again?


Racers can usually fool tech the first time. Gotta make that first run count! lol

Be glad you didn't run at edgewater haha

[GreebeanZ28]

What tech?
