Well if you an get the timing up enough you should be
a very low 10... maybe a 10.10 to 10.20... have fun boys

Another fun... "what will it run post".

Well me and my ol' man got the trans back together in his lickety split last night, so it's off to mid-michigan with both cars this weekend.

Time to turn up the boost in my junk and see what it'll do.

Last time out [Email]10.99@123.45[/Email] on 8 psi and 22 degree's of timing. That was a 1~2psi launch (with a 1.69 60ft).

Now I have the boost controller working in the car, so I can get some more boost in it on the starting line, and ramp it up as I walk the car off.

Plan on running ~13psi this weekend and sneaking up on the timing. Brought 40 NGK spark plugs with me to tune with... lol

So what do you guys think? Guess away...

Here's a vid of the last time out...

What fuel r u using?

---

Scott runs E-85.. I hope he has some summer grade to run

It's got a LOT of fuel off the hit. Under 11:1 a/f off the hit, then settles down to about 11.5:1 down track.

Fuel tested 86%.

---

This is interesting But I thought the AFR numbers with E85 had to be much lower 9.7 cruise and 7 to 8 max output?? Or am I way off??

Cool Car like it!

Got some passes in last night. I'm having trouble getting the car from Trans brake release to full boost. Takes over 1 second to get there....might have a boost leak.

Also found out that my boost gauge was off, so what I thought was 8psi last time out was really 10psi. So even I went to 13psi last night, it was only a 3psi change.

That all being said...it ran [Email]10.67@127.71!!![/Email]

The most amazing part is that we got it to leave on 8psi @ 4600rpm!

1.58 60ft actually had the front tire 2~ 3 inches up.

Just need to get the boost in quicker after the Trans brake release and the 60ft should come down.

Incredibly enough it went 10.67, 10.69, 10.69 back to back to back. Might even be able to go some rounds today!

Congrats. You are living proof that you can make a box of velveeta cheese go fast with enough boost.

Cool.... what did you get the timing up to... hope
you get some rounds in today

good running I was goning to say if all goes well you should pick up 4-5 tenths. I wonder if you went up on the gear if that would help? You have 2.76's correct? maybe try 2.94's or 3.23's Does anybody make a 3.08 for an 8.75???

---

The shallow gear loads the turbo harder than a steeper
gear BUT he is giving up low end acceleration.. there
is a happy balance with the gears... I know he put
in what he had laying around... the gear that was
in it when I put the turbo on it was SCARY noisy
with clunks and what not(it was the worst sounding
gear I ever heard that was still rolling)

Ran again yesterday. Those little tires do NOT like the sun. [Email]10.90@127...lol[/Email]

Scott... do you have adjustable rear shocks... if
you do, loosen up the extension

can't believe goint to a 2.94 or 3.23 would hurt anything... did he switch to a glide???

---

Its a 727... I dont think the 3.23 would hurt either
but the lesser gears do load the turbo harder which
is what makes the boost
