Interstate Drags 7-2-06

[DaveH]

We made good progress on the Probe, got the boost up to ~25 psi but we never got the nitrous working so it wasn't spooling out of the hole. We got a good tune in the car so it was making a LOT more HP this weekend. It ran 134mph traps on the last pass of the day, but the 60' wasn't good. The best pass was a 10.59 @ 129

mid 10's and not running right...dam...just...dam

the initial leave was still weak, i guess that is due to it not spooling up. but looked as if once it got out about 20ft it was gone.
good job, cant wait to see what it does with juice.

[DaveH]

I forgot to mention the car was still pig rich, 10.5:1 a/f ratio under boost. Still got tuning to do.

Well...we found out that the nitrous bottle was empty...(doh)...so Dave went to his place to get another one. He didn't make it back in time before my class was called again, so I just left with whatever it would make at the moment. I cut a 1.61 60ft on that pass. We finally got the nitrous figured out, but I was unable to buy back in. Next Sat I'll let it rip with the nitrous spooling the turbo and see if I can cut a killer 60ft.

Oh...the a/f ratio was 10.5-6 on all the passes. Lean it up to at least 11's and it should rock....plus we haven't even turned the boost up.

good job, thinking there is a 9.3 in it?

how tight of a converter?

I'm getting the hang of it, but still alot of things to remember to do right.

camzaro28- idk...we'll see where the turbo rainbow leads to. I want to see how it hooks with the nitrous spooling the turbo next time, and if it hooks nice we'll turn up the boost. If it gets the 9, then I need to get licensed, and get my chute, and other safely gear.

'damn son... make sure u get the driving down before you hit the button that way u can have everything perfect and skip 9s and go straight to 8s!

[STiSchucky]

like he's goin to take advice from a peon, he knows what he's doin.

and since when is matt a son? he's one of the drag racing kings of this board:icon_king:

[Joel]

i wasnt trying to give him driving lessons... erg, i figured this would get taken out of contexts. I was just suggesting he get everything to a T so that can make an insanely fast run before he gets hassled.
