Finally getting stuff done on our cars

[niterydr]

Sorry to hear the car still doesnt run right. It really sucks when you spend all that time and money on a car and it still cant even make any decent passes :(

Could you scan in one of the whole timeslips so I can compare some of mine to it and see where your car is hurting?

Best timeslip coppied.

.463 r/t(doesn't matter).
1.874 60'
5.140 330'
7.653 1/8 mile
97.66 1/8 mph
9.768 1000' mark
11.450 1/4 mile e/t
135.76 1/4 mph

That pass was the best of the day, also the first pass out. After a few more launches I figured out how to hook and cut my 1.737, 1.738, 1.757 60's. Then I had trouble getting 2nd gear after this pass. This pass I grabbed 2nd SLOW, and wasn't using the spray it was just a "non heatsoaked" c-16 pass.
I average +35-36mph on c-16 on a somewhat from the 1/8 to the 1/4, nitrous is 41mph when the car his hot, so I know its adding power :).
I just need to get the first 330' down and I'll be good to go.

Heatsoak should be less of an issue if at all when on the bottle. Did you log AITs on and off the bottle? I guess it would depend on the setup but the drop in temperature should be significant. Either way you can tell the power is there, just need to put a run together. Like I said before, its all how you look at it. I think you are saving your cars ass since its spinning like fuck out of the hole. Without that your drivetrain might be in serious jeopordy at that power level. And since you drive your car on the street its not a bad thing.

But it would be awesome to see that thing get into the mids 10s a few times.

Dude, why not gun for an air-to-liquid intercooler setup? They'd fit right where your SMIC's are now, and you could probably get a pretty decent sized heat exchanger to fit elsewhere. Just an idea.

Yeah, they stay between 130-140 on the spray and get near/over 200 on just the intercoolers.

near/over 200 on just the intercoolers.

Damn.

[JET]

Yeah, that is getting seriously toasty! Thought of spraying the intercoolers too, since you have nitrous in the car anyway? That car definately has a lot more in it, I think the turbo's would be good for another 100 whp too. I think you could hit 800whp w/o the nitrous with better IC's and external gates/better springs.

I started popping the WG open on my internal gated SCM61 around 32psi also. I have an idea to get you some extra boost if you are interested.

[niterydr]

I am always down for ideas. NO matter what we do, we can't get more boost out of them, and i have the HD wastegates.
I need a fmic as well. I am purging onto the intercoolers already ;).

Suprising your aren't knocking with those AITs, that is some hot ass air. Even with more boost those turbos could be out of their efficiency range anyway, the air might just get hotter. A FMIC would help obviously, but with your goals Swanny bigger turbos are in your near future. If you went up a few sizes you could run the same 32 psi and have a better air charge and make 800whp on boost alone.

Either way that is some serious power. I will have to swing by some day and see if you can scare me.

Car is stone quiet, but I am still somewhat convervative on the timing.
Pretty much the turbo's are tapped out, the intercoolers are tapped out, the charge pipe size is tapped out, and the downpipes are tapped out.
I could add more spray and I will change out the jet size if I don't go fmic and a big single.

Take the actuator arm off, slide another spring (preferably longer with small coils) over the arm. Then weld a washer on the arm, far enough up to give some more pressure. Using a small coil will still allow it to close, it will just take more pressure.
