<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: C O P O CARTEL</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Thanks Eric....the mph tells us its a 10 second car ...but the 60' time has to get better.....thanks to Dave McGaffee for all his hard work on this car ...he makes it all possible...we will be looking into a different intake, water pump, electric fan, and some rear suspension work. My last pass at KilKare on a TT night (Thursday) we went a 11.34 and were warned by the track about not having a roll bar. Ed Hedrick said back in the day ...Grumpy always wanted the cars to leave at 140 degrees ....hence cooler motor makes better passes </div></div>
Mine picked up power across the board with the water/oil at ~110°/140° vs. 160°/170°. With the MPH that thing's pulling, I wouldn't be making any major engine component changes at this point--maybe some carb/ignition testing to try to bring down that 60'. You should be able to get that down into the 1.40's which by itself will take the car well down into the 10's. Is the car still spinning the tires? I was wondering if they said anything to you about that 11.34 @ Kil-Kare--I have a friend who's been 11.20's in his car with no bar and so far they haven't said anything to him. When you go through tech, do they check your car for the SFI stuff--balancer, bellhousing, loop, etc.? When I went the tech guy told me I didn't even need to open the hood--"that car's too clean" were his exact words lol. I went ahead and opened it for him anyways, all he checked was the battery hold-down and the puke tank. (If you haven't seen it yet, there's a track report in the Chevelle build thread). Anything I can do to help, anything you need from me, just ask. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] |
