Back into the big leagues: Project FRC

I mean, might as well...

Been making progress. Of course nothing goes as fast as you want it to.

Installed the LineLock, Nitrous system, and LNC-2000 timing controller and 2 step with a lighter battery (should offset the weight of the nitrous kit)


Also installed a backup camera, Dual Din radio setup (went with the ATO A6, not the amazon fire pad), wideband gauge (14point7, with switch reads both banks), and switches to control it all. Finally I added a hardwire kit to the fuel pump and a boost a pump.

Need to do before track time:
Bleed front brakes (rears done)
Oil Change
Spark plug change

Things I am working on as well before TX2k2020:
Making the fuel covers fit and cover the wiring
Front mesh for the air intake
Some interior leather and hydro carbon bits
Upgrading lights
New street tires in the rear, more drag radial focused.

Hoping for that 10.999 off the bottle and maybe a 10.5 with a little oxygen assistance.

Fuel rail covers are back on and fit after some massaging. Need to do some wet standing and touch up some clear on the edges, but they should work.

Ready to serve up some 1/2 price apps at Gapplebees.

Made some shakedown passes last night.

11.4@121 NA
11.2@126 - 50 shot.

Chasing some Knock retard in the tune, think I found it. Need to get this car to come out of the hole harder.

Update:

Re-doing some of the setup. On the 75 pill I am not happy with the pressure drop when opening the fuel solenoid and it is still tracking leaner.

So I am swapping to a larger intake manifold, Ported FAST 102 from Tony Mamo. He feels that it should pick up 20+RWHP in most of the powerband, will see! Since I dyno'd last (445) I ported the throttle body and went to a 4" intake, that has yielded 122mph traps N/A.

In addition, I am adding a fuel pump, adding a fuel pressure regulator, adding a return line, switching to a newer style PCV setup, switching out nitrous plates, switching to a nitrous progressive controller and tidying up the "top end" overall.

Ideally it cranks out 470+ N/A when its back together. Then back to the track, see if I can find that 10.99 I'm after. I'll also dyno it on the 100 pills and see what we do.

Have to keep busy during this covid-19 situation!

Waiting on the intake manifold. Should get shipped tomorrow.

In the interim I am preparing for my progressive controller install and re-doing some engine bay wiring. Enjoy the photos. Labeling wires to make my life easier, and the current state of engine bay affairs.

Been awhile.

Got the intake in, got the injectors in, currently installing a magnus clutch tamer to help with the launches.

About a month ago I went out to a no prep/no time event near me. Ended up making a few passes off the bottle. Most notable win was a hellcat Challenger. We both spun, I outpeddled him and could put the power down on the Toyo's around 85mph or so.

He was not happy. I tree'd him and ended up winning by a few car lengths.

Need to get the car back no the dyno, I figure it's every bit of around 470rwhp N/A, maybe a bit more. I'll just hit it with the nitrous to get a 600ish chart for the hard parking crowd; then back to the track to find that 10.
