Well still at the Norwalk NMCA race today, but thought I'd put a quick post up for an update.

Headed here Friday with a plan to go for the gusto and run the true street 10.0 class. Last time out the car ran 10.27@132 on 16psi with a 1.53 60ft. Knowing it was gonna need more I put the 20psi tune up in it and headed for the track.

I had a REALLY hard time getting the car to hook. Just kept ripping the tires right at the TB realese. Finally on the 7th pass I had the thing backed all the way down to 7psi and 3200 on the two step.

Finally hooked with a anemic 1.61 60ft, but let me tell you the 20psi almost made up for it down track.

10.08@136

Sooooo close!!!! Really fast in the middle, just shy of 110mph at the 1/8th.

Went back up for another run with a bit more boost on the starting line hoping for a 9.99. Well the driver (me) made a boo boo.... when I staged the car it wasn't quite in far enough so I had to bump the trans brake once to roll it in. Which was fine EXCEPT for the fact that when I did that the boost controller thought I was starting the run. So while I was waiting for the lights to come down, the boost controller had started to ramp the boost in from 8psi to 20psi. So by the time I let go if the button it was at 20psi of boost!

Well the picture pretty much says it all...lol

That was the end of my weekend. No 9 sec time slip for now.

So close! Work on your short time. You are making plenty of power. Get some very good shocks all the way around and have the valving on the rears modified for a dr car. Trust me, it helps!

Kinda like you, now that i have 1/2 of the stuff done, im now going to increase my boost like you did. we will see each other in the 9's very soon!

That thing is making some snot! How does your boost control work in conjunction with the TB? Time for a Dana?

Dead stock 8 3/4" with a used 3.23 gear (742 case). Can't blame it for not holding up!

TB release triggers the boost ramp to start. I had it set on this pass to go from 8psi to 20psi in 0.7s.

Sprag could definitely be hurt, that's why I didn't try to fix it at the track. I had a buddy coming sat. morning that could have brought a gear, but I didn't want to chance the trans.

I'm actually going to put the the 2.76 gear back in it. Talked to lots of NMCA drag radial guys this weekend and they all said its got way too much starting line ratio.

Holy Cannoli you did a whale of a job on that pinion

Sorry for the breakage, hope you get it back together without too much effort and expense

20psi on the 2.76 would be a loooooooooooong lever arm! (I know you won't do that again on purpose)

I'd think the 2.76 would be worse...meaning under more stress than the 3.23's...

2.76 will definitely be harder on the pinion, but I don't think any 8 3/4" is going to survive the accidental 20psi launch!

You might want to up grade to a nodular unit center section and a nice ring/pinion set. I'm going to backbrace my 8.75 before I hit it w/ a 150 shot.
