Time Slips

[Scott Adcock]

Found all the time slips I've made on the car over the years - quite a pile but I don't know the exact count.

Found the latest ones with the best run, less Nitrous at 15.930 / 85mph. With the NHRA altitude factor of .9250 for ET and 1.0801 for MPH, it works out to a 14.73 / 92mph. Not too shabby for CT car.

With the laughing gas applied, it goes mid to low 14's at about 94mph. Corrected, that's 13.40 / 101mph. Has this caught the stock intercooled cars yet, LOL.

IMHO, I say you did, congradulations!! with these engines ive learned theres always room for improvement

Whats all done to the motor on your car and what boost?

I was going to run my car on the test track and get an estimation but the ignition failed so I never got it home. Ive gotta get a rear gear and shift kit put in first.

Sorry to hear about the ignition issue - I fought a similar issue last fall when I reassembled the engine - turned out to be the 4-pin connector for the ESC unit - the black wire was broken from all the handling. I repaired the wire and, bam, started right up. I also had an issue with the soldered tabs for the HEI coil once as well - wire came loose on the road, quit running and wouldn't start.

The engine has been built with '79 up heads, 1.77 / 1.50 valves. Forged pistons, KB '84/'85 headers, worked Q-jet, blocked off water inlet to the plenum.
Cam is a TRW grind from way back .448 / .472 lift Duration @050 = 204 / 214

#16-#17 lbs of boost
KB cold air intake kit
3:42 rear
10" convertor - I tried to dig up the specs on this, but don't recall - I think it stalls around 2,800
Air bag in the passenger side spring

My notes says I left between #4 -#7lbs

and lots and lots of runs....

Cam and ect sound like mine Scott.:biggrin: There will be a few differences like a bigger turbo and some suspension mods to help traction though

The only thing I'm wondering is what time was the 60'.

i can wait to see what mine can do at the track. all i have to do is get there.:tongue: i hope the 301 with 20pounds and alot of nitrous does the trick.

scott when are you going to run it with nitrous?

 

[Scott Adcock]

charlief1, 60' times are 2.3's without Nitrous shot and 2.1's with.

Mat, I run at Bandimere Speedway in Denver, CO.

I can clearly see that cooler air temps with lower humidity yields the best time slips and can see how important it is to cool the intake charge.

 

[charlief1]

After I posted I saw the 60' Scott. You need some work there and you should pick up some serious time.

 

[Scott Adcock]

Charlie,

I think I am still spinning the tires a bit at launch, even with the Hoosiers I was running. Still, I am also at 6,000ft altitude, so I've got to think that will have some impact as well, but I certainly would like to be below 2.0 '60.

What times are you currently running?

What times are you currently running?

I'm not running any times right now Scott.:redface: Cars under construction and it's been a pain to say the least. My main gig is as a tech that speciallizes in chasis and suspension.:biggrin:

Here's the link for the car and click on the second link in my sig for info on the turbo.:biggrin:
