( EDIT: March 5, 2008 )

This is 13 different threads merged together about my car. There are some more detailed ones out there but I think they were lost when TR got hacked a few years ago.

I will add some semi-detailed list soon.

__________________________________________________ __________________________



This was of course the maiden voyage to the track with the new motor and bigger turbo on the car after 2.5 years. :crack:

My original plan was to 1/8th mile it due to the bad inner tie rods found at the alignment ship mid last week that I could not get repaired prior to the event, yada, yada.

So on the first run I basically came off idle and rolled the car out about two car lengths which was when I had enough rpm's to mat it without fear of the car doing anything stupid and a setting I have on the carb right now (hard to explain in less than 1000 words :lol: ).

Once the car got moving I kept it at about 2/3 throttle with every intention of just clicking it off at the 1/8th. Well the car was going straight as a arrow and the bad tie rods were not causing any issues so I just stayed in it to the other side. :thumbsup: This run was the first one to the left in the pic below. My notes are on there too.

The second run I rolled out about 1.5 cars and matted it full throttle, oh baby ! It was moving the F out. This is the middle pass in the pic..

The last run was rolling out the same 1.5 cars and matting it, I shifted a little quick in 1st because I felt a slight tire spin, then ran it out. This was the 10.003 run.

I knew the car was going to make power but I am astonished it is making this kind of power on relatively low boost for my set-up and on a very safe tune. The mph is what surprised the shit out of me.

This was on done on M/T Drag radials, leaving on no boost, foot brake, etc..

This car typically 60ft's like a champ, with far less power on the old turbo set up it would run 1.41 all day long. If it just does that again that is .40 off these runs on the low side. :mullet: :chicken: :lol:

What I liked about these runs is I got progressively quicker as I was re-learning the car. Best of all I got my best light against my buddy Bitemark. :P :D

Thanks to everyone that came by and gave compliments, etc.. :cool: It made the evening that much better.

Looks like Fulco still knows how to make lots of power. :smirk: :chicken:

Here they are in order, the second one was against my buddy Bitemark. :D

I guess there are a few more floating around out there I do not have yet but hope to get. HAVOC has one and Adam has one. I will post them in here when I get them.

The first one (below) is pretty shaky, TJ hates shooting video so I am not going to bitch about it, I handed it to him at the last second and he was doing me a favor to say the least. :lol:

This was on Drag Radials and rolling out about two cars then hitting it. For the exception of the first pass, I was not full throttle during any of the run.

I have a huge list of people to thank on this project of mine but I will do that at a later time when I can get all the vids of my runs from today / tonight put together and I am not so tired. But I have to thank TJ from Coastal for taking time away from his family all day and carting my ass around with the truck and trailer. Not to mention all of the great work on the car but I will cover that some other day.


Here are the breakdowns on the runs.


Same exact tune on everything as the last Dead Hookers race a month or so ago. Drag radials, 16 - 16.8 lbs (fluctuates a little) of boost, cold cold plugs, low timing, etc.. Safe safe safe.

But this time instead of foot braking I hit it on the trans brake. :D


First run out on the t-brake I brought it up to 8 lbs of boost on the launch and let it go. Immediate tire spin, started tracking right, peddled it several times to the wonderful 60ft :lol: and times below:


http://www.tamparacing.com/photopost/data/500/medium/P4010010.JPG



Second pass I backed the boost down (with my foot / less gas pedal) to about 4 lbs. of boost. This worked better but realized I did not burn out long enough. Hit hard, carried the tires a little, spun, peddled, laid into it, felt pretty strong and bingo my first ever 9 second pass ! :D By the slip below obviously it has a lot left in it just by the 60ft's alone. My stock block car with a smaller turbo would 1.41 all day on my el cheap suspension that everyone busts my balls about.


http://www.tamparacing.com/photopost/data/500/medium/P4010011.JPG



Last pass of the night. Much longer burnout, tires seemed to bite well on the end of the burn out. Left on 4 lbs of boost again, car seemed to hook hard, did not carry the tires, and did not seem any harder than the last run. . smokin_ No spinning, clean run, and I could tell things were coming up much quicker on the track because my shift points were in different locations going down the track.

My goal I talked to no one else about tonight was a 9.8x with a high 1.4x 60ft time.

Needless to say I am happy as shit ! :bigthumb:

http://www.tamparacing.com/photopost/data/500/medium/P4010007.JPG

I never expected this on such low boost, drag radials, and on this safe tune. I am almost hesitant to go and hit it with 26 lbs, more timing, hotter plugs, and some other minor tweaks. :crack: But I think I will manage to do it one of these days.

Time for bed, I am whooped, but I feel good that I have the monkey off my back and he is shot and dead on the ground.

3345, lbs. I just found my notes last night from when I weighed it last.!

I have stripped little to no weight out of it but added a lot.

Added 50 or so lbs with the R block, have a 42 lb turbo, stainless piping, thick wall cage (not chrome moly), big heavy scattershield, full interior, etc., etc..

Don't worry Adam does not believe it either. :lol:

I am going to take it to a certified scale soon and take the video camera too..

I don't know what the ci of your motor is, but i don't know why Adam don't believe 3300 lbs. going the time you did, i don't know off the top of my head but i Think i read somewhere on here your 9.4 pass was under 20 psi,

I'd honestly like to see what happens if you put some real boost the car

going 10 something and then to 9.4 is a pretty good jump.




I could say a couple other things but i don't want to be like my sig !

16.4lbs of boost was the average for the run on the 9.4 pass and almost the exact same for all the other passes for that matter, way under what the turbo can make and the motor will handle (or should handle :lol: )


And it went from a 10.003 @ 140 to a 9.46 @ 141 because instead of rolling out and hitting it two cars out and getting a 1.8 60ft I was able to hit it on the t-brake that I fixed last week and it stuck. :D

More boost is going to be scary, might give some real race cars a run for their money when it is all dialed in and on slicks.

Pretty close. :D

Have anything that figures out TQ ?

And according to this old school e.t. book my engine builder has from his days of building stuff for Pro Stock Chrysler's a perfect run with a 141 trap speed and my weight should have been a 9.47 and I went a 46. he said that is the closest he has seen in a very long time. This means the car is using every bit of the power it has at this point and that my 60ft's could not improve from the 1.37 until I put more power to it, in other words there's nothing left to gain where it sits now. Hearing this from someone with his background made 2.5 years of downtime all worth. Well so did that e.t. slip on Saturday. :lol: :D

Agreed.

Aerodynamics and a lot of other shit I have never had to deal with before will now come into play. I think it is supposed to take another 100 at the wheels to get another four tenths off at this point. Then it gets exponentially harder from there.

I am all about the patience so we will continue to chip away at it.

Nice runs man. Good job!

Scott
04-09-2007, 06:41 PM
I got to thinking tonight after two and a half years of doing the new motor and other things to my car many times things were discussed (both joking and not) that were not going to work at all or not well on my car. Some still may be up for debate, so be it, but so far the proof is in the pudding and it is tasting pretty good right now. :D

These items included:


Carb + Turbo - Would not run right, not street-able, will need constant tuning.

(A/F reading during dyno runs and track runs are flat as a ruler, runs great on the street, have not touched the tune since it left the dyno. :mullet: )



26inch tires - would not be stable, would run out of gear, would not 60ft well.

(Car has been going straight as a arrow, have room left on the tack out the back door, 1.37 60ft. ! :D )



Monroe GP shocks with my homemade adjustment to them will not work right.

( 1.37's :lol: )



Small cube motor will have to work to get in the mid 9's.

(:lol: :lmao: )



Rear drum brakes will never haul it down from 130.

(141 and counting :D :crack: :mullet: )




I guess my point here is never let anyone tell you how things are probably going to work or buy into what the masses are saying. Don't think you have to do what everyone else is doing just because. And have a plan, stick to it, and show the doubters what time it is no matter how rough it gets in the meantime.

Its not like a carb turbo is a new idea they were on production cars 25 years ago. Not to mention the carb hat paxton set up thats been around for about 15 years. The 1st carb hat race car I saw was well over a decade ago. Not to mention several major carb companys are selling off the shelf blow though set ups

Exactly !

Production carb blow thrus were in the mid to late 60's and that is it from what I remember.

The carb enclosure box from Paxton never really took off and did not work as well as the new types. None the less it was around as you mentioned.

Most people never knew about any of these and it was easier to doubt since carbs are supposed to take black majic to work right. :lol:

You and Adam have seem to be doing a pretty good with the hole blow-thru deal

im sure you using a line lock...what kind of brakes are on the car? assuming you have an automatic like i do..with a 5000rpm launch w/transbrake i have no problem staging. i had to go to aerospace to bring the car down from 135mph...no problem now...on a 300 shot of nitrous i'm looking to go 140+ like you this season.

Scott
04-09-2007, 08:15 PM
you build boost coming up to the beams correct.

I'm saying i cant figure out how you don't slide thru the first beams and into the second....

your building boost coming into the first beam, on your first step you hit the first beam on the other step, bump into the second and on the tranny break.


Not sure how I am not pushing through, maybe just a different technique. I do not turn on the transbrake until I get in the second beam, I try to be the first one there.

Of course I am also having to moderate the amount of boost I want on the launch with my foot since I am not leaving on the mat, yet. :D That is proving to be a bitch.

Line loc only on the burnout, not to stage.

Front brakes are drilled Brembo rotors and good pads.

Upgraded all the lines to the brakes with the high strength braided suff.

Stock rear brakes. :lol:

I am not going to b.s. anyone, it takes almost the whole shut down area to haul it down these days. But I am about to try out some new drum brake stuff a neighbor of mine has some copyrights on, more on that later.

Scott
04-09-2007, 10:16 PM
your second paragraph i don't understand

not to sound stupid, but what do you mean by moderate boost.....moderate boost in different races, or you don't have a launch control on your boost controller.

i don't know who or what features your controller has.

set the launch boost at say 10 as soon as you let go of the tranny break it leaves on 10 psi just to plant the car, .5,.6,.7 the controller dumps 50-60% of the boost, just so you can plant the car like is said before but don't unload the chassis. then say 1.4,1.5,1.6 you bring in 15-20 psi.

how long until your have full boost

understand what I'm trying to say


I have a launch control on my boost controller but have not set it yet.

Right now I just hold my foot down enough to get the boost I want, will not be exactly the same every run but close enough. Example, I was leaving at 4 lbs. of boost at the TRack Event. That meant I was holding the rpm's around 4k or so. Anything above that and the boost shot way up and I am taking small steps at this point so no need to hit it with a ton.

This means I am going to have a split second delay from the time I let the button go and when my foot hits the floor. Probably minuscule on the time slip but some none the less. I am going to address this soon so I can leave with the foot on the floor and have the boost wherever I want it on the launch.

I can ramp it in as you posted as the car goes down track.

I am getting up to my max setting of full boost in about one second. I will post a short video in a little bit of the playback from the boost controller on my best pass.

if you have m/t et street radials and they are 275 60 15 they are 28 inches.

if they are 50's they ar 26ish


I have the 275/60/15 on a 10 inch rim and they are 26.25 inches. Just went and measured them again to make sure. :lol:

I have a launch control on my boost controller but have not set it yet.

Right now I just hold my foot down enough to get the boost I want, will not be exactly the same every run but close enough. Example, I was leaving at 4 lbs. of boost at the TRack Event. That meant I was holding the rpm's around 4k or so. Anything above that and the boost shot way up and I am taking small steps at this point so no need to hit it with a ton.

This means I am going to have a split second delay from the time I let the button go and when my foot hits the floor. Probably minuscule on the time slip but some none the less. I am going to address this soon so I can leave with the foot on the floor and have the boost wherever I want it on the launch.

I can ramp it in as you posted as the car goes down track.

I am getting up to my max setting of full boost in about one second. I will post a short video in a little bit of the playback from the boost controller on my best pass.

ya thanks a lot id' like to take a look at that video....what is your max boost

Scott
04-09-2007, 10:35 PM
....what is your max boost



Right now running 16 and change, the turbo can go to 35 - 40 and the effeciency range for it is not until about 24 :D, my motor is built to handle 30. :crack: If I ever go there with it, well time will tell. :lol:

Just finished the video for the boost conroller, I am going to make a separate thread for this too in case others are shopping controlers.

Since so many here are in the middle of boosted applications I figured I would post a little info. on mine and a neat feature I just started using.

Mine is a Blitz SBDiC, it is not to common in non import cars but one of the better ones from what I have found. The Poopra guys love them so that has to be worth something. :lol: The only thing I do not have is the optional launch control which I am going to get soon. However I can moderate the boost down track the way it sits now via a timer feature it has so that is a different type of launch control.

Here is a playback from a week or so ago. It is the playback of my last run at the TRack Event. I can also play it back in about six other formats to show different data.

They went up a little in price, I paid $949 for mine about six years ago. :lol: Certainly no big dollar high flowing race car stuff. :D

Add about $1k in port work on a good flow bench plus better valves, springs, retainers, seals and that is it. Believe it or not. Still have a smaller than 2.0 valve in it too.

Carb + Turbo - Would not run right, not street-able, will need constant tuning.

(A/F reading during dyno runs and track runs are flat as a ruler, runs great on the street, have not touched the tune since it left the dyno. :mullet: )


Rear drum brakes will never haul it down from 130.

(141 and counting :D :crack: :mullet: )

Scott, the car definately hauls ass no doubt but I do have a question on your first statement. And by no means I'm trying to rain on your parade but I'm trying to see if it relates to cars as it does in other combustiable engines.

I ride a 500cc 2 stroke atv. It is carb'd with no fuel pump (works off of vacuum). In the winter I have to go up in jetting since the air is more dense. During the summer months (mainly July/August) I have to go down in jets due to less oxygen in the air. So since a carb'd motor can't calculate for atomsphere conditions and 99% of the time a dyno tune is usually done at WOT aren't you a little worried about the a/f being off (mainly during the cooler months) when the car isn't at WOT? Was it tuned for both part throttle and WOT? I guess really if you tuned it for dense air and didn't change it for the hotter months, the car will be down on power a bit but I guess that would be safer. That was my question..

And about the brakes... Didn't Derek go 8.56@155 with factory brakes front and back. Now that is one crazy mutha fukka! -Mark

No rain here buddy, it's all good.. :D

Both combos (stock block and new block) were both finished in cool months and actually tuned on cold days. So with this in mind it will be fatter as the months get warmer, so you are right on.

Therefore yes, I am giving up a little power on a hot day but I am fine with that. And if I want to lean it out a tad to keep it from getting to fat (which will snot up the plugs eventually) I just dial in another pound or two of boost to lean it out some. :lol: I now have a wide band in the car so it is going to make it much easier in the hot months. It was at 11.7 out the back door on my 9.46 pass, just where I want it.

The fun trick thing is with the carb I have is it will lean itself out when there is no boost on the motor. So I cruise around at 14:1 or so and the second the carb feels any boost in comes the fuel. This is something that was added right before it got dynoed and that the carb co. I use just came out with. I am test mule for them with the combo I have.

And I presume you are talking about Half-bred (Derek) ? If so yeah he is going way faster than I will ever test brakes. :crack:

04-10-2007, 01:03 AM
Exactly !

Production carb blow thrus were in the mid to late 60's and that is it from what I remember.

The carb enclosure box from Paxton never really took off and did not work as well as the new types. None the less it was around as you mentioned.

Most people never knew about any of these and it was easier to doubt since carbs are supposed to take black majic to work right. :lol:

Scott ... this is inpart because truely understanding carbs has always been kind of a vodoo. Many inclusing me can make a car run right but truely DONT know how or why... just know which screws to turn. with that being said. annular dircharge is gods give to carbs! they read signal sssoo good.

This is my third time to the track with the new combo so I am still learning the car again and while I have taken a big step back on my 60ft's I have got my burnouts down and made progress at staging the car faster. Best of all my newly rebuilt trans. worked great and the motor is making good power.

Not exactly sure why I could not get back to the high 1.3's I was previously cutting but I now have some ideas. One thing for sure I was actually testing and trying to tune on Saturday. :crack: Right now I am leaning towards my shitty rear shocks not being able to handle things.

I was shooting for 9.2's @ 145 for Saturday on a little more boost and still no other changes ( timing, carb, fuel, etc.) and I got half of it, not the half I really wanted though. These mph's would have got me to the 9.2's if I could have got it to hook.

Looks like I am staying fairly consistent on the driving end of things albeit crappy out of the hole. :dunno: The last run had big tire shake that I had to pedal through.

Can't wait to get back soon !

Then explain this slip, it is my best to date and it was on 16.5 lbs of boost and touching the rev limiter for a split second on the 1-2 shift. Without hitting the limiter I am pretty sure it would have gone a 5.99 - 5.90. and without needing 120 mph.. Maybe 115-116.

Pretty sure a 114.xx is not good enough for a 5.9x unless you could get into the low 1.3's high 1.2's 60ft and that is not happening with my car. The slip below was a damn near perfect run after doing some math. I left liitle on the table with this one. But I pretty sure a 115-116 will get a 5.9x.

Scott, I think the reason of your 60fts not getting better is due to the track prep. Ever since they re-paved it I can't get the 60fts I used to. I had 3YR OLD slicks that would go 1.56-1.58 and now with the same setup and brand new slicks I struggle to get a 1.61-1.67. Actually I even went to a softer front spring and got more weight transfer but still no improvement. I used to launch at 6800-7100rpms and now anything over 6500 and it spins. For me, I'm going to try and put some ballast in the rear of the car and see if that works. Talk to Wade and ask him if they changed anything. -Mark

Scott
10-03-2007, 12:44 PM
Scott why arent you hooking, whats your suspension set up?



The car was hooking, now it is not.

One of a few things are going on here.

The drag radials I run are toast ( 14 passes on them ).

I have a bad shock(s) because they are no way intended for what I am loading on them.

I have exceeded said shocks ability to work and need to upgrade. (most likely)

Some component in my suspension is out of whack ( control arm out of adjustment, etc.) and I am going to go looking for that this weekend.

I also might need to install the anti-roll bar I got from Wolfe but the car is tracking perfectly straight and a anti roll bar is typically used to correct this problem.


My suspension components are as follows.

Rear Suspension:

Factory 8.8 Rear End Housing

31 Spline Moser Axles with C-Clip Eliminators

SVO Center Girdle

Southside Machine Lower Control Arms

UPR Double Adjustable Upper Control Arms With Spherical Bushings.

Moroso Trick Springs

Self Modified Monroe GP Shocks



Front Suspension:

Factory Springs

Lakewood 90/10 Struts


The cars weighs 3300 with me in it.


All in all pretty basic and not a whole lot of trick stuff. I have been more than pleased with it and never thought it would get me in the 1.3's.. Might be time to step it up, if so, no problem. :D

D/R's on every pass so far since the new combo for the exception of one where I ate up a new slick.

Not sure which pass that was because I was playing with tire psi all night. It was either the 11psi pass or the 14 psi pass. When I cut some 1.3's a few months ago I was at 12 psi..

and what size radial is it ?

mewell
10-04-2007, 12:39 AM
Correct, maybe 1 -2 more mph at the most and also a 5.9x. :D

I should set my car to about 10lbs of boost and go 6.5o racing. ;)

You would be able to go 6.50's easy enough but with those reaction times you would get drilled on the starting line. LOL. I know,I know, you were just testing. Are you sure your front exhaust wasn't affecting the staging beams, because thats a lot of difference in 60 ft.

I have no delay programmed in at this time and do not plan to either. I am leaving on 4lbs of boost which is modulated by my foot on the gas pedal. :lol: Not exactly the most consistent way to do things but I have a solution for that later on.

And 275-60-15's.

So you leave on 4lbs, how soon do you get full boost ?


and thru your controller is it possible to set boost to come in at certain times

Full boost at about two seconds in, would have to watch the last replay.

I can ramp boost in or out at anytime during the run but I am not going to get into any of that until I do the logical stuff like better shocks, etc. first. I am fairly confident the shocks and a little shifting of weight in the car is going to do it.

Scaling the car at my house tomorrow morning should reveal a lot and then UPS is supposed to arrive with the new shocks mid afternoon.

I had not weighed the car in many years and was guessing I had to be around 3,300 with me in it. It scaled in at 3298 ! :-o :lol: My friend John was like holy shit good guess.

John found a leaking left rear shock and it looks as if the right rear is done too so this confirmed a few things for me.

Surprisingly it scaled out really damn good and we moved very little weight around.

scott u got a tube k-member on that thing..u to a ap.a performance front kit and thats like 90-100 punds off the front of the car


Tubular K member and stock control arms. I do not like how frail the tubular a-arms look so I have stuck with the bulkier stock pieces.

I am suprised the front left is not heavier than it is given that big ass snail sitting up there.

where u in the car with that weight..if so how even was it..i think it would be lil heavier on that side because of u and the turbo..how much weight t did u have to put on the pass side to even things out?

Yes I was in the car right down to the drivers suit in my lap and helmet on the floor. :lol:

The car was about 70lbs heavier on the left front which is within the range we were looking for.

We moved about 30lbs from the RR to the LR, other than that is was surprisingly pretty close.

The new shocks just arrives at my office to so those puppies are going on tonight !

Who does this 'scaling' for you? What is the charge?

What all did you move to make the 30 lbs of adjustment Scott?

Its not so much "movement" as it is suspension adjustment....



Correct.

It is like making a wedge adjustment in a NASCAR car, move a suspension piece to shift weight. We adjusted the upper control arms.

First off huge thanks to Dave for riding out on short notice so I did not have to fly solo. :)

First time I have been to BMP on a Thursday in probably five years. The lines moved slow at no fault of the track, lots of breakdowns, lots ! But there was a cubic ton of hot poo-nanny everywhere. Almost made it worth the wait. :D

I took it easy tonight since it was the first time on the new shocks and launching off the two step. Left on about 3lbs of boost on both hits. The car stuck good on the hit but broke a little loose about 20-30 feet out. However it was a big improvement and definitely workable. Time to play with the shock settings. It was pretty warm out too. The car was running stupid rich all night, something like 10.0 on the A/F meter out the back door and it idled fat all evening.

The second pass I took out a exhaust gasket because it was a tickin when I got back but I was done for the night anyway since I got to my goal for the evening at it was 9:30 after only two passes. :crack:

Car tracked straight as hell as usual and got up on the rev limiter on the 2-3 shift and top end for the first time. Either my tach if off by a few hundred or my ignition box is off by a few because neither coincided with each others settings.

Very happy the incremental times are consistent with the drop in 60ft from the first pass to the second. The tenth I made up from the first pass to the second carried its way through the run.

It was fun again to go down to the track and actually have to think things through and make adjustments, can't wait for the cool weather.

Well enough with the boring tutorial.

Went down to BMP with a old friend in from out of town tonight.

Got to the track around 5:30 and it looked like all hell was going to break loose with the front coming by.

About 6:30 the front passed, clouds went away, and the cool wind started !

First hit out of the gate with some shock setting and tire pressures changes I made it went a 9.55 @ 146.86 ( new best mph ) with a so so 60ft of 1.510 and spun a little out of the hole and pedaled it.

Made another hit around 7:00 and went a 9.82 and spun worse because I came out on a bunch of boost.

Then there was the last run on less boost. :D

http://www.tamparacing.com/photopost/data/500/medium/PB160001.JPG

The best part about this run was the altered dragster I ran in the other lane that of course treed me then I ran down and beat by .09 ! :lol: Can't imagine what he thought of that.

Anyhow I am pretty stoked and it was great to see what the car can do in less than 85 degree air temps. Tonights weather was pretty ideal.

I think I almost have a handle on the suspension settings, of course when I go back to the full slicks I am sure that will all change. :crack:

Can't wait to see the video Mitch shot.

And to think I still have a lot of boost left to go, more et to drop with better 60ft's, and I have still never touched the engine timing since firing it up.

Winter at the track is going to be fun this year.

Like everyone has said, there is no doubt you still got ALOT left in that thing. That makes me want to get my car running even more now. I haven't even watched the vids yet, so I'm gonna check them out now. When are you taking it out next? I wanna come watch bro.

Nope on leaving on the converter. I left on the two step set around 3,500 rpm's making about 7lbs of boost. That was plenty for the about worn out DR's. That and my just rebuilt trans has a leak from somewhere all the sudden. :-o
