Anybody got an extra helmet I can use though?
 
Posted by F8LPONY (Member # 11) on :
 
I HAVE to get some tuning done and since I only have 2 more days left to get some practice in before my big race in Bakersfield I wont be able to cruise. I have to work. On the car.

So , se you guys at the track. I got my roll bar in now so I am legal.

sfGi8nt - I'll be out there playing pit crew. If you want I'll bring my helmet so you can use it. Let me know, Drew

F8L - Who did your cage install. How did it come out and what did it cost? I'll be shopping for one shortly

I had a buddy do the roll bar so it is not perfect but the wleds are awesome and it is perfectly sturdy and safe. We just didn't bend the bars like we should have.

It's an 8-point unit from Alston Chassis Works here in Sac.

Same one I purchased F8l.... It took some mods to the bars to get mine all fitting right up. Biggest welding pain is mating the door bars to the main hoop.... Gap has to be filled with weld to connect em...

DId you ever get to see my cage Justin??? Actually that's a dumb question since I went streetracing with you when I was on midtour in November from Korea..... Nevermind...

So anything else new besides the converter?

I just saw the video your passes and Brian5.O's passes for the first time. They came out pretty good. Some guy in the stands went nuts screaming after you beat the black fox. I still have no VCR to put them online though

The converter is new, have a spool now (I guess you saw the one wheel peel), and I changed some electronics to hopefully get rid of the miss I had. That's it for now .

John91,
What time are you going up there? I would really love to see your car run, but I am working on my car tomorrow, then going to that meet.
 
Posted by John91coupe (Member # 18) on :
 
I should be arriving there at about 9:30 or so to try to get some early runs in.
 
Posted by MilesMerk (Member # 27) on :
 
what time do they start running tomorrow? Do they run in the morning, or in the afternoon/night??

Nice. I remember seeing your car at Sac about a year or so ago. What have you done to it since? What is your combo?

power-wise:
302 from a '92
stock bottom end and cam
out of the box edel 6037's and a cobra intake
65mm tb
75 mm bullet
36 lb lucas inj.
aftercooled SQ @ 11 lbs.
msd digital 6 plus
eec tuner
mac lt's
dr gas X
tremec 3550
3.55 gears

i was considering more boost, but ive heard horror stories of cracked blocks and such with even less power than i have now. my plan is to keep tinkering with the EEC tuner to make the most out of the boost i do have. the aftercooler makes a huge difference, and here's proof:

2 weeks before last weekend, i went to sac but only made 1 run, with the aftercooler defunct. the problem was the dry ice i put in the water box. i used pure antifreeze so there would be no change of frozen water. nothing froze, but the coolant got SO cold, that it wouldnt flow. it was like honey. the poor bilge pump (magnetic drive, like a speedo) wouldnt pump it, and i had to make a run without anything flowing through the aftercooler. that run was a 12.6 @ 116.

2 weeks later i picked up nearly 6 mph from the aftercooler and it's benefits.

i just finished installing the complete MM setup. Torque arm , PH bar, coil-overs front and rear... it handles like a go-kart now, and the baer's keep it stopping. i recently drove a friends mustang that still has stock brakes... OMG!

the TA sure makes a big difference... on plain radials i can manage 2.0 60-ft times.
