Congrats Jyrki I love that car.

I hope someone got some video of it on its 7sec pass.

Jyrki, you have already talked with the KR8 guys for a report in their mag right? Seem to be you're in it the next edition. Let them know you got your 7sec ride so it can be included in the writing.

If the above is false I'm incorrectly informed

Congrats with it!!

Way to go

Thanks!
Here is a small video fo the run, the opponent run 9.9. Pretty effortless?

Jyrki - YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
BTW, I sended you one mail but seems you are at vocation or something

Congrats.... so quick with a C-barge that BIG and it
comes off the line so nice and easy
EDIT
how many pounds of boost was that run

thanks, 20 psi was the max boost in that run. There is still propably a lot to desire, we don't use any technical devices to limit the boost or use a certain boost in the launch, so it's all done with gas pedal and correct launch timing which is pretty difficult. The current turbos, we bought them used, gave best performance in the previous 468 chevy combo at 27 psi, run 8.4's and weighed 200 lbs less, so I guess we have done something right. Just yesterday I got the rear sway bar installed in to the car, and for next summer we'll also install a new design camshaft from Scott Brown, we'll see how it works. I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of tenths off this summer, but at that point the relatively small turbos propably are at their limit. We are already pretty much on the edge as far as the rpm goes, so can't get more speed. The engine only has got a single line static pick up and I don't want to turn it over 7500 unless we build a more dedicated oil set up. Or who knows?

Georg, yes I have been away from work a couple of months because my hand was operated after a sports accident, but will go back in february. Never had so much time to build things during the winter before, and it seems that for the first time we may be able to get the car ready before the season begins!

Jyrki sport is no good for you, it's better to drink Kahru beer and work on the car

nice. whats that thing weigh.......

I don't know what you fixed from the first video to the one of your 7 sec blast , but you darn sure fixed it.
That pass looked straight as a string.
Awesome stuff , Sir .........and congrats on cracking into the 7's.

Dave

Nice!, Congrats!

Weight was 3530. We have actually had some weight problems, because 3600 lbs is the SFI25.5 specs max allowed.

I think everyone has already said enough, but WOW, you have got an amazing ride there. Great Job.

Congrats Jyrki

Hyvä Jykä.

Good job, congrats! :thumb That is more impressive than you think.

Thanks all! I consider what you FAST guys are dooing amazing. With my old four door in 1994 I run, I thought then, a pretty respectable 12.16/116.5 mph with 205/75/14 tires and 3.23 gears. Of course the engine wasn't stock, and not even close, but the chassis and suspension was. Then almost ten years later with the same car, gears and tires, but now maybe 250 hp more, I decided to try run ET's similar to yours. I only made three attempts in one race and the best I managed to do was 11.60 at 135 mph. It was pretty hopeless with teh ahrp throttle response and non existent traction, the best 60 ft was 2.000 and it wasn't until the end of the second gear that you could use full throttle. The same base engine, heads & block are now in the turbo VIP.

Congrats Jyrki!

DITTO....

Nothing but awesome , nice job !

Congratulations Jyrki, your car is truly impressive!

What are the specs on your current camshaft and what will the new one be?

jyrki, Good job. That car is awsome! What a diffefence a few years can make. Keep up the good work.

Thanks again, the current cam is on both sides of 260 degrees and 0.7" lift with 1.6:1 rockers and 115 LSA, and the new one should have considerably more exhaust degrees and even wider LSA. It's not done yet, so I donät know the exact specs.
