Well, last night went to the local track and ran my personal best 2nd time out with the car EVER!. 25x8.7x13 slicks. Please give me some pointers on how i can improve. Is this mostly track prep to get the 330' down lower. Notice that the 1/8mph track is not high at all compared to the 1/4mph trap.

60': 1.677 (best 60' ever for me)
330: 4.628
1/8th: 6.905 @ 108.2mph
1000: 8.823
1/4: 10.402 @ 143.47 (new personal best )

Getting closer toward my goal of 9.99. Don't know if i have the power to do it, but more power is not hard to find.

Here's the first time out with the car and setup

Pointers or tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Paul

No pointers for ya here sorry . Just a congrats . Does your boost controller have the ability to adjust how the boost for each stage comes in? (I.e. jump to the next PSI immediatly vs. gradually build up to the next psi level)

Phil

 

Nice times for sure

Practice

 

Hey man I forgot to ask what flywheel you are using?Danny said when he went to a stock flywheel it helped his 330.

I don't belive my boost controller has this feature.

Just asking because, I tuned a car not to long ago with a Greddy Profec and it has that feature (they call it "balance" or something like that) and I had to adjust it to transition smoother to keep the wheel spin to a minimum. I was doing 3rd gear pulls while street tuning the car and with the **** all the way to the aggressive side (boost going from low to high setting immediatley) it would just spin the hell out of the tires. I toned it down a lil' and got it to transition very smoothly. I'm sure the same theory can be used on the track.

Nice to meet you to.Maybe it was the track.This was only the third weekend it has been open since the new owners.It won't be long befor you meet your goals.Like I said if you need the dyno just call.

 

Congrats man, good job, getting closer to it...Lookin forward to racing again with you guys and eating some food....

 

From the looks of your slip I say it was hooking just fine. You alsways want some wheelspin in the lower gears as long as it's still pulling. If it dead hooks in every gear then you start breaking parts and bogging.

 

DAmm good job man!!
Rememember who had faith in you 1st!!!

 

good job paul! btw... were those runs done with my old Welds

congrats man!

 

congrats paul! what track was this? still no cage or helmet?

 

 

It was the montgomery track.

 

Yeh, it was at the montgomery track. Have helmet, just no cage. Cage should be going in pretty soon. Paul

 

koooooooo you cant wait to see nines ehh....

 

cool.can't wait to get back at it.what kind off tire pressure was this at?

 

6.5psi tire pressure. Started at 8psi, went to 7, then 6.5. Maybe will try to drop it some more. didn't want to break another tranny like in IFO back in november.

Let me know when u are planning to go to montgomery track, i'll try my best to make it out and watch. I think i'm going to wait until NDRA valdost to run it again. Now i have to focus on getting the safety equipment done. Paul

 

very good job.

 

what happens with a lil less boost in 2nd and 3rd?

 

I'd say your doing pretty good Paul. Looks very similar to our 10.49 slip. Might just a need a better track and it'll do numbers.

Nice times man!! you hatch looks like mine

I ran the same size slicks last night from M&H and i was spinning 1st and 2nd pretty good too w/ 400whp.

my 60 and 330 were:
60 - 1.746
330 - 4.73

 

Sweet timeslip! Congrats. The only thing that ever helps my 330 which sucks compared to yours is the 1-2 shift. When I first looked at my data logs, I was sitting on the rev limiter for .2 seconds or so. I started shifting earlier and picked up .4 in the quarter. Just a thought!

Is this in a Teg?

 

Thanks for the advice. I am sitting on the rev limiter a bit too, which may or may not be hurting my times. I on the revlimiter for a short bit in order to allow the car to catch up on speed. I have alot more testing to be doing to get the car dialed in. Sorry, this was in a hatch. Still going on my old sn. Paul
