new vid of 8.62 at 145mph in the 1/4th

[Rpdboss]

I finally edited it down from a min and a half to around 25 secs. Posted on streetfire.net The 60 foot times are not on this video but the next which was a 10.36 with a 1.61 sixty foot time but unkown mph due to in car view being blocked. First one was with 45 lbs dry ice http://www.sccoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100753
with a nice long burnout, no T/C load.
Second one no dry ice and no burnout;)

right on ryan!,
where is hillbilly exhaust

[David Neibert]

Wow...88 mph in the 1/8 mile is pretty fast.

I was thinking the same thing but what boggles me is the 10 seconds in the 1/8. He had a 1.61 sixty foot time which is really cooking but what happened after that?

[Rpdboss]

Hey, I'm just as stumped. I know that inbetween shifts its slow and or sumbles/misfires. Not sure what thats all about yet. Seems to realy suck at high rpms for pull, which it waits to shifit around 5,200rpms:confused:

The next trip to the track is when I finish and install that water to air intercooler that will be cycling acetone supercooled with that "snow" dry ice I love so much. Also plan to decrease tire pressure from 35psi tosomething lower like 22psi? Maybe help with that zig zag launch u see in the second run :)

Is everything stock? I don't see any mods listed?

[Rpdboss]

3% pulley on a late model supercharger
ported supercharger and inlet plenium, mild by what i've seen
Ported exhaust manifolds
custom tbird 97 v8 exhaust 2.25 inch, dumped after 3rd cat at track
custom ram air intake, basically a 3.5 inch tube from the headlight acting as a funnel straight into the MAF, also stock
larger radiator from a regular tbird
wire #14 mod for fan, also super sized
89 posi installed
lx springs to lower it some 1.5 inch drop
fresh bearings installed, mains and rods
engine was rebuilt at least once before
car currently has 106K miles
New low stall T/C

So do these mods equal my run times/mph/60?:confused:

[fturner]

If you are still running the stock 30# injectors, you could be running out of injector at the high rpm's causing your problems up there. If you are, then that also means your really leaning out up there as well.

I'm running 42# injectors with a 94 blower with 3% and at around 4700rpm's I'm seeing 72% duty cycle on those... 80% is about the max duty cycle you'd want to run from whats been said.

My car averages around 9.3 seconds for the 1/8 at around 75mph, but my 60' sucks at around 2.12 because of the street tires I'm running.

My car isn't that much different than yours.

Frit

[racecougar]

The numbers just don't jive. Just looking at the video, that really doesn't look like a 1.6 60'. Are you sure about the 60' and MPH? Were the numbers similar from run to run?

Just for reference, running 12.9610 @ 105.37MPH in the 1/4 mile, my 60' time is 1.8499 (on ET Streets mind you, not street tires), and the 1/8 mile comes at 8.3169 @ 85.74 MPH.

-Rod

[decipha]

yeah something doesn't seem right there.

deff fix your top end and you'll be making some serious numbers. If your pulling that quick of a 60 and going that fast through the traps you really need to find out whats wrong with the top end.

No Way!....i hate to call BS but with what you have listed your car couldn't* grasp those numbers...i cant see it happening.
Unless there was some headwork done your not aware of and some real low gears i cant see it.

[Jacob_Royer]

Wierd...

I ran a 10.013 at 72.138mph

And it didnt *look* that fast at all...

In this one it pulled hard at higher rpms but really sucked taking off...

Hopefuly i can get my pos straightened out and get some test runs in before the shootout..

[Rpdboss]

I did notice that the rocker bolts were way larger than normal when i untorqued and retorqued them. Also found a set of teflon gaskets seals, so its been around on here probaby just cant find it. Didnt remove heads as the HG's were still good. Did find undersized bearings, and I didnt remove the pistons, so there coud be so secret hardware hiding in there. I bought the car from an auctioner in Rochester,NY town of Bergin. I also believe the injectors are 36lbs stock. Next time I go to the track what do you need to remove more doubt? I'm not trying to BS here, maybe its my mistake or misinfo?:confused:

[rzibilske77]

im not saying you are wrong, you seem sincere about all of it, but me just going by what has been done too your car i cant see it being fesible to run that quick of 60' and the run 10.** at 88.** seems very far fetched...somewhere something is definately not adding up from what i can tell.
Where is the time slip?

[95badbird]

yeah, something is not right.....my times for example.

60'.........1.88
1/8.........8.7
1/8mph...78
1/4.........13.85
1/4mph...96

can you scan your slip?

sounds like your times are more like 2.6 60', 10.xx @ either 76mph or 66 mph.

[perm102]

Is the car "stock" as far as weight? Did you get a slip that you can post? I know at our local track, the timing system is off regularly. The time will be right but the MPH will be way off or 60'. On street tires with stock weight and your mods, those times would be hard to reach.

[BLOWN38]

I'd say the tracks timing system is alittle off. As this started over on my thread you can see I'm running 88mph with a 7.8 8th mile.

My dad has a slip with a 1.41 60' which was obviously a timming error. For a 4200 lb marauder launching off the footbrake.

Man thats a quite blower!!:eek:

Shift that thing at a lower rpm and keep gettin at it.

Also do you have an air filter on it? If you don't that maybe messing with your MAF reading at your higher speeds and slowing you down. Your Injectors are prolly ok for your mods.

[Rpdboss]

Next time I go to the track I'll request one. See its cruise night there when i go and theres somewhere of 400+ cars in show, maybe 1/2 or more race once or more. In the first video you can see another set of cars start their burnout as soon as I leave the line; VERY BUSY. So no time slips are printed. Since the announcer stated it was the only SC he's seen this year it should be easy for the crew to spot me for one:rolleyes:
Maybeeeeee. the 1.61 is reaction time but then that would mean 60 foot times didnt display? Can anyone else make out those or any #'s from the video? I uploaded as a 60meg file:eek:

[Quik95SC]

Just some more food for thought, thats all.

I get 1.8 60ft times and run 8.20's with 95 degree weather

Mods are updated on member page as well.

i can't see you pulling 1.6 and still running a 10 of any kind with 88mph trap.

Wifes 94 Auto does a nice 9.18 1/8th mile, and no where near that mph.

Time Slip would really help understand things.

[racecougar]

Sounds like a pretty rinky-dink track.

I just watched the two videos. Based on the second, you didn't leave until the light was green and really a little after it went green. The 1.61 was the reaction time. Also, I would say that their mph times were off as well. Good runs and it always feels great to beat a mustang in a tbird.:cool::D

I 100% agree with perm102. Don't know why i didn't pick up on it earlier:confused:. Guess cause I thought you were reading the 60' off of the time slip. But that 1.61 they displayed on the board is most definatly your reaction time.

[Tech_Greek]

Your reaction time is horrible, try launching right BEFORE the green light (on the third amber) - more than likely your car will leave RIGHT as it turns green making a much better chance against someone with a faster E/T.

Car seemed pretty smooth in acceleration to me...I wish I had still my time slip left I threw it away pissed off at my boost leak.

I know I ran a 15.1 @ 93 MPH (previous was a 15.1 @ 91 MPH)...in quarter on shazty tires and a HUGE boost leak.

[Rpdboss]

Ok, so I misread what numbers were being displayed,seems to make sense to me now. Now i realy got to shoot for some awesome 60 foot times. A big question for those auto guys. Preload the torque convertor (wheels break loose at (1250rpm) or just let it idle then hammer it on 3rd yellow?:confused:

Depends on car and tires. If you hammer street tires you will see a spin fest. (Spinning aint winning) Sticky tires should be able to take more. It just takes a lot of practice to see how your car handles.

[fturner]

Thats my biggest problem with my car. I can hit the track one day and flash up the converter to about 1500 rpm's and launch... no spinning. Next day I go I have to feather the throttle at launch or I'll spin her up real good.

Ironically, I did my best time with feathering the throttle at launch. Reaction time was about .487, 60' was 2.13.

Its alot more involved than just dropping the hammer down so to speak.

Frit

[Super Duper Cou]

When I launch my car, I don't really look at the rpms, I look at the boost gage. I bring it up to where it reads zero psi of boost and then launch it. I hooked up fine on my bridgestone potenza street tires at the track when I did a burnout in the burnout box. My best 60' time was a 2.068.

For tires you should go with some BFG Drag Radials 255/50/R16's, they will give you plenty of traction.

[Miller]

the BFG's are doodie and have never pulled better then a 1.8x for me even when covered in VHT.... deffinitly go with the MT DR's... FKR puleld off badass 60's with them as does everybody else who uses them.

The BFG's worked fine for my friends 1990 SC. He ran 14.97 @ 91 mph with them. But yeah, the MT drag radials work really well.

[Miller]

im not saying they wont do what he wants, but why not get the best ones. I did 12.7 on them covered with VHT but they spun pretty good doin a 1.8 60.. th MT's are a lil more $'s but its deffinitly worth it when u can just give it everything you have on the line.

The M/T Drag radials are great...I ran an easy 11.40 @ 125 with them on my turbo car. I'm sure I could get into the 10s with them.

[Rpdboss]

yerp, it was much faster this time, especially when its someones elses:cool:
Oh yeah, trans brake was used too:D

I will agree. Not only that, but your RT on the second vid, I got up and cooked a hamberger after the green light and your car moving. :) Fast none the less.

Wow, That thing made the other 7.22 @ 190mph in the right lane look like a moped....Impressive no doubt.
