Nice times Barton, it's about time. And get used the the stupid announcers there. I've been getting those comments for 5 years now. They always act all surprised when a stock looking DSM wastes a drag-only domestic.

Guess I better get off my dead ass. There's no way in hell Barton's going to have a better time than mine. Doh.

HAHAHA :stick:

I'm using DSMLINK - so for every 1 count of knock it pulls 1 degree of timing.

When we dyo'd I had "0" counts for most of it. and then 1 blip of 1.7 in the middle.


Typically I don't mind 1.7 counts (nothing but when I'm getting constant 3.2+) counts for almost the entire run something was definetely going on.

And after review previous logs my knock counts has been this bad ever since I went from Race Gas Back down to pump gas.

Cause the first log with that amount of knock is from when I switched back over.

Not sure what's up? I know my Coolant temps are way different from when we dyno'd.

I tuned the car with Coolant temps of 206 on up to 216 at the end of the Pull.

Where as now I start at 176-and by the end of the run I'm at 186. But I'll want to add.

I didn't get these coolant numbers till the whole oil pump thing where I finally switched thermostats. So I had a good week of logs where the knock was still pressant before we switched to the welded Oil Return, Dump Tube Routed back in,
And the non-welded Visc swapped out.

I'm lost as to why I have knock. But tonight while Jenny's at work I'm going to do a compression Test, Put in some New NGK's if I can find some, and also Fill the car back up with different gas. Hopefully that'll solve/reveal the problem.

Anyrate had a great time and for the first time I went to the track and got back with only 1 scare, and so far no problems to the car. (haven't had that happen since my first year of Racing) So it was a very good feeling when I pulled into the garage last night.

Ok Some people had asked me what PSI I was seeing when I launched and I just reviewed the logs of my runs.

and typically speaking it's based of how well I worked the clutch. I can see if I slipped the clutch to much, etc.

But at the launch I'm seeing 17.5lbs/min with the stutterbox set at 5750rpms.

On my best run 12.1 - I let the clutch out very quickly and the lbs/min never dropped they just kept climbing.

on every other run where I slipped the clutch my lbs/min went down the worste being my last run of the day 12.2, where it went from 17lbs/min down to 8.2lbs/min

[MustGoFaster]

That would be me. Ran a best of 12.772 @ 108.47 MPH

Some of you guys should have come on down to Ceder falls on sat, the track was sweet and I got almost 15 runs in back to back I had to take a break!just in the day! I did not stay untill the night racing but some others did and said it just got better!

Good times,some time we got to get a big group down there and have some fun. ;)

Gratz guys! Especially you Brian, it is good to see you finally get some #'s to go along with all of the work you have put into it. Seeing this makes me want to get my car done! I have 2 customer cars that need work first though. Hopefully I can start on it after labor day.

[Jana]

Awesome times everyone! Sounds like it was a good day there for the most part :D

Definete Good Job to everyone.

And CarlTalon's car is quite capable of keeping up with me when we were playing on the way there. So his numbers are way off from what the cars capable of.

But then again it a FWD DSM thing. Can put down all the numbers you want. But at the Tracks we just can't seem to get the times to go along with them.
Thats all I have to say about my times. we'll see what happens with slicks studder box and c-16 ;)
