New Best & Kicked Out

Quote:

Drove the 68` to Quaker City tonight and made 2 runs with the new engine and other repairs.
Previous best was [Email]11.99@110[/Email] at a faster track..

1st run [Email]11.60@115mph[/Email] spun thru low gear.....

2nd lowerd tires to 14lbs..............
[Email]11.490@115mph[/Email],1.63-60ft..still slipped some....
Goes thru the traps at 4,800.
No roll-bar,, don`t do that again.

68` Satellite,bench seat,column shift,stock converter and trans,3.33 Dana, AND 440 W/B&M 177
Blower.3-lbs boost LOL :goes up with more RPM....
Needs more gear/converter to get max performance at the track,starts to really come on at the 1,000ft. line.

Put tools and cooler back in trunk and drove 35miles home.
I am happy with that for what it is.........

Kicked out , Heck i ran my Duster for 2 yrs. running 10.9s @ 123+ with no roll bar , Yes "stupid" i know, but i can't believe they let me slide all that time, Of coarse they did like the car & both tracks were borderline outlaw .

Quaker City was much more tolerant that I would have been, I wouldn't have let you into the track in the first place
Congratulations. How many PSI????? How many cubes????

Well I have the its NOT blue with New Hampshire plates rule working in my favor.

440 cu. 3-lbs boost. I`ve seen 7-lbs at 6,000rpm,but with the gear thats not practical.

One scary note: for the last month or so I`ve been "testing" on the road,4,800=115mph,
Iv`e had it to 6,000 in 3rd-----yikes!!!!!
Thank You Jimmy for watching out for my foolishness..

It really is a fun dual-purpose toy. It drives SO nice and the power is so fluid it reminds me of a hot-rod Turbo-Diesel.

With traction and more gear I beleive it could dip in th 10`s.

I have NO idea how good or bad the tune is versus "perfect".
Timing @ 30* jetting AFR 12.0 which is lean by most opinions.
It was a very pleasant suprise.....we all need those every so often to keep us hooked I guess

Cant you change your pulley ratio to get boost sooner
and more of it... whats that little blower worth for
max pressure

---

Ratio is 2.13 to 1.
I`ve seen 2.42 to 1.
Read some SBF/SBC stuff on YellowBullet that got 10/13lbs. out of them. But they spum the blower 16,000 rpm with Alcohol/E-85 set-ups.

I was thinking if I could get a converter made that was soft enough to minimize the drop on the shifts yet act stockish on the highway it could pickup quit a bit.
Choose the 3.33 gear for street manners,I think 3.73 would really wake her up. IF i could get traction.
Chassis is STOCK..shocks/sway-bar/battery in front/heavy everythingetc......
Really starts to pull at the 1,000 ft mark,Guessing if I could get it to use 5,200/5,500 shifts it would really fly.
Also could be its too rich/not enough timing and its that late in a pass till it gets into its sweet-spot.

Its only been 14-hours and I`m already thinking about a roll-bar and gears and converters and cams and divorce,,,cause the wife will kill me if I ruin "her" car LOL

Old habits die hard....

What RPM do u shift at? 4800?

---

Yes on the 11.49 I shifted at 4,800.

I messed around with shift points last couple years ,really does`nt make amuch differance EXCEPT waiting for high RPMs. anyting over 5,500 ish really slows it down. But that was last year with what turned out to be ZERO fuel pressure!!!
Gauge read 5psi,,, bad gauge and pump actually had ZERO which lead to 5 broken cast pistons LOL

Myself,I would increase the blower speed and if you
want you can change the gear to the 3.73 but that would
be about it.. its your wifes car and I dont know if
you would want to spring for a conv.. then start tuning
to get the max out of what you have.... JMO

That's an awfully teeny tiny blower. I think you would cringe at what the discharge air temp is now never mind after you dial it up.

Good job none the less. One of my "After I win the lottery" goals is to build a "patina" rod like Dizuster and tour the country to see how many racetracks I can be invited not to return to.

At 3 psi now(max) I dont think it'll go much higher
both in psi or temps... Dizuster doesnt inner cool
either, I know.. I built the set up for him and he
didnt want the inner cooler... and he runs a lot more
psi than the OP
