Better check that pinion angle before you load the car up !

---

it's done, really can't go wrong there the motor/tranny is pretty much in line with the rear. so either method would work on this one

this should be interesting!
good luck and be safe Tony!

How is the weather down your way today. It raining on and off like crazy here today. My local strip was supposed to have a PRO-MOD race today. I am doubting that is going to happen. Good luck.

I forgot the 2 hour delay some chevy driver gave for spitting parts all over the track

---

at least you didnt come home with your parts in a 5 gallon bucket.

well we just got back, the car did go down the track but we did have a few problems only made 2 passes. 1st pass had a hesitation but would not shif out of first so I aborted and just crusied through at 4k rpm. it felt strong after it picked back up after the hesitation but that didn't last long. checked the wiring to the Eshift and didn't see anything wrong. so I put it in manual mode so I could shift it manually. changed the squirters to see if I could get the hesitation out. 2nd pass it still had a hesitaton but pulled good in 2nd gear. shifted into 3rd and nothing so I just coasted through and loaded it up. car drove good with no wondering and went straight. I guess that was good so I'll search and see what the problem is. Woody seems to think it's in the valve body. had fun seen goldmember and a few old friends. all is good Ill figure it out later...

---

OH My God....Hell Just Froze Over Congrats on getting down the track...you'll get it sorted out

Jet extensions....

it has them, but its hard for that to be a factor when the car hasn't moved happens right on the tip in.

Quote:

---

Why did you go with the E shift V body

---

because it's a bracket racer. supposed to be one less thing to worry about I'll get it straight. a lot of the class racers are using them and loving it. the car really felt good and pulled hard once it got past the hesitation.

Im glad you got to take your hot rod down the track.

Might be to much lash in your ring/ pinion in the rear........

So, I guess that means I won the "Guess Quicktree's ET" contest. I'll PM you my mailing address so you can send me the check.

---

I was kidding. Hey, lets review what Dave predicted....

Quote:

---

I predict the best run that first test n tune day will be 7.50 @ 91 mph with a best RT of .075. Keep in mind, a brand new car is not going to run its best time right off the trailer. Plus, the weight of all those heavy, welded hood pins are going to slow it down.

Quote:

---

I'm factoring in new car bugs. Everyone dreams of everything working perfectly the first time out with a brand new car, but it seems that more often that not, that rarely happens. I'm just going with the odds. If you kill my prediction, I'll be among the first to congratulate ya.

---

Still, you had to have been proud to at least bring it to the track and drive it.
I'm sure you'll get those issues squared away, and lay down some good numbers next time.

---

well the 2 areas I was unsure of bit me I have taken new combo's to the track and actually won a race with one. but like you said the odds are against it.

Quote:

---

Is that a Turbo Action valve body you are having issues with

Seriously congrats on getting it out there. I am sure you will get it all sorted out and working in no time. Good luck with it

---

yea but I am not sure what the problem is yet. might be self inflicted, I'll let you know

Quote:

---

and thanks to Woody for letting me use his generator ans 4 wheeler. and congrats for going a few rounds and getting a pipe rack kill with a .001 light

---

No problem Tony anytime yeah the pipe rack kill with a .001 light made it worth the 5 hours of driving we didnt get home till 2.30 this morning.

maybe you should take up knitting

all this should have been sorted out in front of your neighbors houses

and i dont believe you needed to go into 3rd gear in the 1/8th so what did it run?

---

well those statements tell me you are a true testntune guru you can't tell squat about the carb issue with out putting it under load. it felt fine in the drive way with the tires spinning. the burnout even felt fine the first pass. I don't even know what it ran I didn't even get the time slip the second pass but I think my son said it ran a low 8 with just the second gear blast at near 90mph. first pass it never came out of 1st gear I think that was 9 something. maybe Woody remembers.

Quote:

---

Doesn't look like there was a lot of cars there.

T-man call Paul about a E/shift upgrade.Yours might already have it,I don't know.

---

there were quite a few cars there. pic was taken after half of them had made there pass waiting on a 2 hour track clean up I have had the upgrade and will be on the phone with him tomorrow. hope to get the tranny pan off and take a look today. check wiring etc.
