Definitely not questioning you. Just Low time for 1/4 mile with that low of a mph. Must have been rolling the first 1/8.

Ok, it was a typo- the 97mph was an 8.65. The 8.31 was at 120mph, and yes, that was with the chute out at the 1/8th and coasting. First pass straight off the trailer last Sunday. i will post slip in a minute.

What was the deal with the chutes out at 1/8 mile?

I was running the 1/8th, not the 1/4. Stopping 3300 pounds at 150 is alot easier with the chute out even if it is a 1/4 mile track.

Gotcha. Looking good. I know there is alot more time in there though.

That was the 15th pass on the car, first pass of that day, with the small turbo on 18.5 lbs of boost, and the smaller radials- in EZ street trim. The EZ world record is a 4.91, so that particular slip isn't off by much to only be the 15th pass. Some of those guys have been trying for years to go that fast, I have been out 4 times.

I'm ready to strap the big turbo on now though.

But I still bet I am the 1/4 mile top dog with the chute out at the 1/8th and coasting through the 1/4. Bitches!

Man thats big mph in the 1/8th. Turbo FTW.

For 18.5 pounds of boost on a cast wheel 94 it is. It will go 165 with the 114mm.

The EZ mph world record is 150 by the way!

How much better will it 60ft?

1.21 to 1.22
That is my cruise control tune up. That is a lazy tuneup that will get down any track, any conditions.
It didn't make 18.5 pounds of boost until 4 seconds into the run. That is why the front half is so slow, but the back half is decent.

Here is the datalog showing RPM and Boost. For those that know what they are looking at, it shows you what i mean when i say LAZY!

Pretty cool!!!

clubracergt1 · 12-15-2009, 07:35 AM

7831 RPMs? Damn, you are spinning the shit out of that thing. That's some crazy high oil pressure, too. We used to pop oil filters at 100, on the GT1 car.

When it's dialed in I will actually shift it at 8000. Right now I am short shifting it from low to high around 7500.
The oil pressure is awesome. Got to love a 4 stage dry sump system.

And BTW- Look at the TPS, 69%. For those that don't know, that is the Throttle Position, or how open your throttle is. On this pass it started opened at like 78% and moved down to 69% through the run. Turned out the set screw on my cable was loose and letting the cable pull out. So the ticket i posted was at about 3/4 throttle.

Suprised nobody caught that yet.

1iron · 12-15-2009, 09:56 AM

I figured you were letting off at that point.

Or shit the seat! The new 114 turbo should be good for another 900hp or so correct? If so watch out, that thing will stand up on the bumper at the 330' mark.. I am like Harry holy crap!!

That's what I was thinking.

I seen it, but since it was at the end of your run I thought your were in the middle of letting out.

WWhittle · 12-15-2009, 01:57 PM

I went back and looked and it actually has gradually gone lower and lower on every pass. I found where it was pulling loose and fixed it after this pass. It should be good to go now.
