Bunch of us Canucks went to Toronto Motor sports parkway today, was about +5 out, and sunny, drove into a head wind all day. I had 3 goals set this season to beat, and I actually did all 3 today. In may the car made 21 pounds of boost with the meth kit (stock motor), during the season of racing I noticed my boost was going down and down, to which I figured the meth kit was removing the coating on my rotors. At the shootout the car made 17 pounds of boost, but still managed to bust off one pass of a 13.04. I learned that my harmonic balancer was seperated so I replaced that and my brutal vibration at 60mph seemed to go away as, and also I found a boost leak yesterday and fixed it.
So my first goal was to duplicate my 12 second pass from May, my first pass of the day she went:
60ft 1.76
1/8th 8.276@82.71mph
1/4 12.976@104.80
Was pretty stoaked to start off the day like that, my second pass I dropped tire pressure from 17 to 15psi
60ft 1.77
1/8th 8.205@27.24??? lol love head wind.
1/4 12.869@105.46 <--- my 2nd goal, not only did I make a new best, but finally beat Bill Mcneil's record for up here in Canada, stock heads and cam net me 265-270hp, where he put down 370hp.
Let it cool down a bit more and played with tire pressure again.
60 ft 1.754
1/8th 8.192@83.22
1/4 12.867@102.97?? head wind again.. but its now my new best, which netted me my 3rd goal of 3 consistant 12 second passes, on this pass too I saw 22-23 pounds of boost on my autometer guage lol.
Anyways, was a great day, all 4 of us got new bests in our cars, and the guys got to see me lay the smackdown on a new SRT8 challenger with a vortech who thinks 330 foot burnouts net you great times. Well he later ran 11.8 I was told heh.
