Title: Went to the track last night...oh so close..
Post by: Pressure cooked chicken on September 06, 2015, 11:48:02 AM
Took the bird to the track last night. I made two changes to the car. One was I retarded the cam 2 degrees. The other was I installed my old meth system with the intent of filling it with E-85 to supplement my fuel system.
Well something is up with the meth system as it is not flowing nearly what it used to. I made three passes and the E-85 level never dropped in the tank and my AFR was still way too lean (12.5-12.9).
Good news is I think the car liked the cam timing change. Went 10.02@135 followed by a 10.04@134 and a 10.07@134. And that is with our horrible DA (5000+ft).
If I can get the meth system working right, I'm pretty confident a 9 sec pass would happen as I have a 2gph nozzle pre turbo and a 14gph nozzle pre throttle body. The pre turbo nozzle jumps the HP because it cools the air going into the turbo.
Next TnT is in October so I have some time to work out the bugs.

That's moving. Really moving. Nice job. It's solidly in the 9s at sea level as it sits.....

Got around to uploading the vid. Didn't have the t-brake set when I let go of the foot brake so I jumped the beams. The starter was good enough to let me back up and reset.
