Not yet, I am trying it get to Rock Falls on the 11th.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Good luck, hopefully you get there...that was my goal too, ain't going to quite make it.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Very excite. The wiring looks pretty good. I have found that electrical tape is pretty crappy for higher heat, oily, dirty environments. Someone does make wiring harness tape which is different. I don't know where to get it off hand but I'm sure it's not too bad to find. Post up if you are going to RF on the 11th, I might like to go and see that.

I put 30 miles on the car yesterday and I have dyno time setup for this week. The car should be at the track sep 11th for some shake down runs.

I had to turn the boost controller up 1/4 turn to get it back to the boost it was running before. It looks like the clutch broke in a little sense the last dyno session. The car spools up about 400rpm sooner. The only things to changer were moving the 1600's to the stock location with a custom, but smaller fuel rail, the new AEM EMS, a green top CAS, and the new wiring harness. Other then that the plug gap was the same and the injector duty cycles are lower then before, but I did not want to push the setup any further until it hits the track.

I am heading to rock falls saturday, I am swapping the sticky tires on after work tomorrow and towing it out there.

I have good video of the car on the dyno, and I will be getting video at the track also. Then I just need to post it on Youtube.

Thanks Shane for another great tune.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Awesome that you have better spool and lower duty cycles while making more power. Nice power, can't wait to see the track results.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Such nice numbers John. Crossing my fingers for you to hit 9s!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

I sure hope I can make it to rock falls this saturday. Work sucks!

btw, my hoodie smells like 650 at the wheels.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Good numbers I see Shane did another good tune!!! Good luch at the track.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Awesome dude! Weve been waiting a long time to see this beast do some work again!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

The car made it threw the shake down runs at Rock Falls. Due to towing issues I was late to the track but did get 2 runs in.

.069 away from the single digit club.

The first run I spun a little in 1st with a little wheel hop, 2.1 60', for the first launch with this setup I think it was ok. Then I shifted to 2nd gear at 9500rpm, and the car planted and just took off straight as an arrow, I nailed the 2/3 shift at 9500rpm and ran out 3rd before the 1/8th mile. I tapped the rev limiter before the 3/4 shift and drove it home, I had 1 hand on the wheel and the other was fist pumping with joy as I crossed the line at 9200rpm in 4th. Then the only scary part of running this fast at Rock Falls, I had to stop, in a hurry.

The 2nd run I was in the spectator lane, and they just finished track prep about 10 cars in front of me. I noticed a lot more traction in the burn out box. So I upped the launch rpm and did a little more clutch slip, 1.8 60' time, I short shifted into 2nd and then it did its thing just like the first run. And I may have lifted just a hair early to get slowed down.

The track official came over to have a talk at the end of the run, he started asking about all the safety stuff, neck brace, gloves, pants, shoes, certified chassis, etc. I said I just wanted to run fast enough first, and he said well you are fast enough, this is your one and only warning.

Then heading back to the pit the car just died, I think the aem dumped the tune and I forgot to make a copy, so I will get the tune from Shane and load it back in there.

If I can get the 60' down to a 1.4-1.5 that would put me in the mid to low 9s @148mph. For the shake down runs the car was amazing. I have video of the runs and I will try to get them up soon.

This was only the 2nd time I tried to launch the car. It is running E-85 and 38psi, the drag radials had 30psi all around. If we were able to get more runs we would have started to lower the tire pressure.

Here is the time slip, my car number was 1219:
