Norwalk Times

[GRNDNL]

New Best from Norwalk OH, Thursday 4/29

60ft..............1.494
1/8th............6.614
1/8th mph.....104.71
1/4..............10.352
1/4 mph........131.47

Ran a .41 off the trailer then two .35s and a .36 all at 131mph, one pass was 131.9. I've got the fuel where it should be but still only 22psi, 60ft is still off, I'm hoping a set of good shocks will put me in the low 1.40s, still might be, could be, should be a bit more in it..... :shades Looks like its time to step up to bigger injectors, I'm driving 72s at 90% right now... :stare

Friday was race day, rained allllllll freakin day.........so they called it :ripped:

Now where are those Honda Boys?...... :hump2:

Great times Keith! i think you got quite a bit more in that car. are you leaving off a brake or foot? Can't wait to see what she's got in her. What boost levels are you trying to attain?

Thanks......Its off the foot brake, I've got a Stage Right Brake in the tranny but I've never used it. Its looking more and more like I'm going to go to a TH400, I'm driving though the convertor now and it seems that nobody can build a good 10 sec Non-Lockup Convertor for a 200R4.

I've run 30+psi with my Facory Stock Motor...:stare At some point the cast iron heads and stock headers are not going to flow anymore and it just won't go any faster. I was hoping it would run 10.3s @ 130 in 50 degree weather set on kill, it was 85 on Thursday with a mild tune-up.... :)

[Crawlin]

Oh come on now... i asked if it was possible if you could run a 9 and you said no :) off the brake to a 1.3x and some more boost and you would assume it was possible :) or atleast i do, haha

I still don't think it will run a nine with all the stock parts thats still on it......:confused I agree that it will take a 1.35 or so 60ft, the car is just to front heavy with to small of a tire. Heres (http://www.photoreflect.com/scripts/prsm.dll?eventorder?photo=04XC0023000217&start=0&album=0&adjust=-1) a picture from Thursday, the track was as good as any track I've ever been on, I was still spinning the tires.

I need to find some lightweight 125 pounder to drive it for me...... :3gears:

[Crawlin]

i'm bout 175, but i think Tom is at the 150 range :) i'm sure either of us would love a pass in that :) hahaha.

do you have any suspension travel limiters on the car? that front end just looks awfully extended. I wonder if you put some travel limiters up front it would pull those tires a bit more off the ground while transfering basically all the weight to the tires.

PS- love the burnout pic that is before the launch pic :)

If its still running at the end of the year I'll probably put Tom in it just to see if it will make a difference.

I don't have limiters on it, I "think" I need to get as much weight on the rear tires as possible, next time I have the motor out I was going to put some in just to tune with. I put some air in the air bags after the first pass, helped some so I'm thinking I don't have enough shock and/or spring in the rear, QA1s are next on the list once the $$$'s there.

[Crawlin]

i just bought some QA1 rears :) although the $ ain't there for the fronts , haha. what did you set the airbags at? do you have them on both sides or just right rear?

I've got the rear sway bar set-up from HR Parts, kind of like the Wolf set-up so I don't need the air bags to pre-load the chassis. I started with 10psi in each side, had the to much pressure bounce 10 feet out then droped it back to 5. I "think" I need a stiffer spring then stiffin up the rebound on the shocks to eliminate the bounce.... :confused I'm just guessing, I really need to get it on film sometime and go frame by frame to see what its doing. I had a good handle on it when it was running high 10's/low 11s, I've kind of lost that handle now that I'm making more power.

[Crawlin]

sweet. let us all know when you are going down next and if i can make it i'll video tape for ya

[BAD LS1]
