Well I achieved my personal goal today 1st and only run of the day. I ran a 10.99 @ 121.89 on my unopened long block with 93 / meth & the same used drag radials I run on the street, full weight t-top car. Special thanks to Bison whom I finally met in person this weekend and helped me install one of his 3.5 bar MAP sensors as well as verify my base timing.
I ran an 11.07 yesterday so today we sucked out 7 quarts of Dex VI and put in 7 quarts of JD Hy-Gard. Tightened up my PTC about 150 rpm. Unfortunately my 17 blade PTC is just way too loose for a stock head / cam combo. The RPM log looks like a pancake. The range for the entire run is pretty much 4950 to 5150 crossing the beams at 5050 in 4th. Im also out of fuel because injector duty cycle was around 100% and my walbro 255 is not keeping up. Its about 11-12 psi from where it should be at max boost (thank God for WB correction). Needless to say when I reached my goal I quit. No sense risking it once I met my goal just to go a little faster
Not sure what my plans are. I may throw in a DW300 to get through the year as I have some friends that want to do a track day in October. I may just do the DP racetronix setup / dual feed rails and get it done with since I was planning to do that this winter and need it for the next stage of progress. I have race ported TA SE heads and will be getting a cam from Bison so the fuel issue definitely needs addressed.
If I wanted to push the unopened long block further with the 93 / meth limitation I know it could be done. Things that need improved : I need more seat time / practice with launching / 2-step, etc. Tune needs work. I'm using a TT 6.1 chip that was not burned for this combo being pushed this hard as well as the fact that I am self taught and learning as I go. I need more fuel pump and injectors, and I really think if this converter kept my rpms in the 4700-4900 range there would be a bit of gain. I am not going to change the converter, but I may try to get a higher exchange rate of Hy-Gard in order to lower flash stall some more. I'm hoping this converter will compliment my new combo with roller cam / ported heads when operated in a higher RPM range.
Even if I don't run the car more as an unopened longblock combo I am happy. I accomplished a personal goal I had set for myself and it was fun. Again, special thanks to Brian / Bison. Great guy and great vendor! Also thanks to my father which provides a shop for me to work on my junk and help when needed. He may be joining the forum soon he is slowly but surely getting hooked
