Geez, I may have to find someone that knows how to drive at the strip and send them down the track on Pits team in Krush, hey digger, you out there bro...
Mark
that'd be me bud, i'm from tx, i know how to drive, and have the "youngness" for reaction times.
as for the picture of the guy ejecting from the airplane, thats not ever a good sign. especially at that altitude.

Just guessing of course, but I don't think 10.3 will be the lowest time in the quarter.
Mike
Uh Oh, Look who we got interested in all this smack talking. No we're really gonna get out butts kicked! One thing guys, don't expect new personal bests at Beech Bend,,,,especially if the weather is hot!

we need a young Texan with a 9 second, stock bottom end 346..That would be the sh*t..
Be sure to go to Vision works before the Pro Tree with Mike and Ernie..LOL. I'm gonna rely on getting them drunk the night before..haha.
Yeah, But Mike is Mike and he will throw himself in the pot and make it hard.. Just be warned... But that was just a vid..
Ernie
I guess I didn't stir the Pot enough...only Mike jumed in ??
Got my trailer ready (flat tire) and installed the brake controler in my tow vehicle so I can go to Sarasota and pick up my Z...hopefully in the next couple days. Street tune was done..dyno on Monday. Want to see some big numbers...never can tell for sure !! Sittin back drinkin a few beers now..thinkin about my sixty foot. Robz gave me a few tips for this new clutch and torque !!
No good numbers to post Ernie...the car had nothing in it tonight, I guess from the heat ? It was 81 degrees with 50% humidity. My trap speed was 1 mph slower than the stock bottom end...it just had no pull over 5000 rpm http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...e/DSC_3945.jpg
It took me 3 runs to figure the clutch and tire pressure..not too bad there.
I was slowly increasing my launch rpm..first was 4000, 4200, 4500, 4800..then 5000...Then..I Broke the hardened half shaft...had to drag it on the trailer with my tail between my legs after one hour of racing. I had just lowered the tire pressure to 13, because she was spinning at 14 (bad luck tire pressure #..usually run 11.5-12.0) I was really feeling some 1.4 sixtys coming. New twin McLeod Clutch was doing great. If I could have gone down some in tire pressure...I was there. I was still spinning on my 1.5 sixty's. I have a vid of my first 2 runs but can't down load yet. Have to reload the software on my new hard drive and it won't accept the SN
Pitt, Sorry to hear about the shaft, are you sure it was the long one or the short shaft, that's what broke in mine last time out.. The thing about those clutches are, they don't give at all, so the weak link is the rear... Keep at it though, and get her fixed soon...
The one thing you said it didn't pull after 5 k it should pull harder than before, I don't think the temps had that much to do with it,, not sure...I would ask the tuner and see if he has an answer...

Ernie,
I can't tell what is broke yet..all I know is it will pull forward about half a foot and lock up..and won't back up at all on its own power. You can put it in neutral and roll it backwards most of the time. However, it will also lock up going backwards once in a while. Gotta get this rear thing fixed first and then figure out where my upper power is going !
Pitt, I just got to thinking ( I know) what size injectors did they use??? I'll give you a Hint.. #42 lb if you have the 30's your running out of fuel...
That's what happened to mine, was falling off on top end, Julio put the 42's in and it made a world of difference...

No, I already have the 42's...I was at 87% with the stock ones on the old motor so I had to change them. Gonna look at the tune as soon as I can get it rolling again. Log a couple runs ..that will tell. May be 3 weeks though, I am tied up for a couple.
