finally got the slip to take.

here is the dyno graph, the difference in the times were 8.23 @ 88.79 (1/8) to 12.60 @ 113.84 (1/4) on the quickest run and thats a 2.06 60 ft.

the heads on this car are ported stockers with bigger valves but I cant recall the cam specs. I may be getting concerned too soon.

the more i ponder these results and my time slips last weekend im wondering if i didnt get hosed on the size of this turbo. ive never measured it as i took the shops word when i purchased it but everything ive read sure seems like a TE63 would trap better than 115. i even turned the boost to...

yeah im picking up some MT DR soon, i bought these bfg's prob 5 years ago brand new, maybe longer but the car has sat in the garage for a while.

i was thinkig of running them down even more but nothing seemed to make a difference, once boost came on they just went away even on a roll out launch.

i worked from 25 psi down to 20 and nothing worked.

thanks Chuck, the shocks are some old KYB units and no sway bar up front but the huge ATR unit out back. converter is Art Carr 9" with a 3500 stall. the bushings are all poly front and rear. unfortunately no vids of the runs. im going to remove the snubber and bump stops this weekend, check the...

im hoping thats it, i tried short burn outs, long John Force burn outs and nothing would keep them locked down...even on a 0 boost launch it still wanted to blow through the tires.

thank you very much for the info Cal, i took the car to the track this weekend and the car was trapping 114-115 most the day @ 12.6 (car wouldnt hook at all with a 2.0 60 ft)

took the car to the track, couldnt get the car to hook for anything. 12.6 @ 115 with a 2.0 60 ft. im running eibach pro kit springs and no air bags, boxed lowers and adjustable uppers set to -4 (down) im running 275/50 bfg drag radials but they are about 5 yrs old. the tires get real sticky...

i should have added that both graphs almost overlay each other as well, just seems odd that tq isnt higher and come in sooner.

finally put the car on the dyno Saturday and netted 395hp but only 409 ft tq, now this was at 18# and the a/f seemed a little rich at 10.8-11.2 but i didnt have much time to tweak. the converter in the car isnt very loose so i dont think its falling there, im puzzled how the hp and tq are so...

thanks Charlie, ill see if i can drop him a line.

i think you guys both nailed issues on this one, i did snug them to spec with the rear in the air and im not positive i greased the sides of the bushings...ill put the back end on some ramps and check everything again. thanks again guys ps whats a good grease to on the sides should they need more ?
