on the alignment rack 2 days before we leave for the track.

pops. mine. sis.

me an little bro after the first drive. a day before we load for track.

off to Vegas for her maiden voyage...

tech'd in and waiting.

first pass Friday: I pull into the water box. get tires spinning and as I pull out the car shuts off. I had no clue what happened but thought I blew a coupler off. idk why. but had them push me back. popped hood. everything looked fine. fired right up and drove it back tot he pit to diagnose. bummer cause you only get two passes a day. I just wasted one.
2nd pass. drive around water box figuring im gonna just ease it down to get some actual data beside my street driving. walk into he throttle and before the 60 car goes limp. 2nd pass. a bust.
at this point I realize my tune is way off. tuning with no ice in the tank makes a big diff in required fuel. lesson learned. I throw ice in the tank and drive it to the airbnb for the night. on the highway I datalog and jump on it a couple times and adjust the fueling hoping for better results Saturday.

Saturday. first pass. I do a burnout and the ca his still running! cool. lol. roll into the throttle hit every gear and it feels good. first pass in the books! its only up from here.
14.13 ! Ive got a 14 second street car ! never thought id be so excited to run a 14. all the hard work made it down the track!

guess I should mention pump 91oct. 3.23 gears. and making 6-7lbs. 255 radials. shifted it at like 5500. engine never made it past 6k. timing very conservative.

second pass Saturday. I was feeling more confident in the car but still didn't want to break the puny driveshaft or the gears so I planned to roll into it again but a lot sooner than the first pass lol. well the duster I ran mad that easy. he jumped out on me and my foot got heavy real quick. ca ran decent. more data. 12 second street car! same timing same boost.

little by little she'll get there.

Mine's twin turbo. Doesn't run as good as it should

You've got a good start to mph there even with the conservative start!

Sunday eliminations day. I dial a 12.25. racing a beautiful barracuda. man that thing was sweet. drill the tree but car runs way off the dial but she had issues I believe. 12.54 on a 12.25. ill take it. on to round 2

2nd round I run Rons old valiant. get tree'd and break out. new personal best came with a loss lol

New personal best. Same boost since the first time out. 6lbs. After reviewing logs I’m not even leaving in boost. Next time I make it to the track I think I’m going to leave the tune up the same and focus on cutting down the 60. I’m sure theirs some et to be found in doing so. Anyways. Hope you all enjoy!

Chipping away! Nice work

Good job. Keeping working on the 60' time and it will really pick up. That's good mph for the et.

thank you! im trying

thanks! thats the plan!

You are almost ready for the MADNESS!!!! Good Job.... Keep Digging...
