Last night really sucked in my book. Best was a 6.09 at 118 with a 1.41. This new boost controller is making it tough to get the power back it had. Last week without it it spun the tires ever pass and this Friday it hooked ever pass but was lacking in et and mph. Might go out to Denton tonight to try something differant. Thanks though!

Oh ya my R/T's are getting better. :D All where in the .05X and lower range except the first one. Thats nothing compared to some guys though.

Your running the MSBC-1 right? What is the problem? Just cant get enough boost into it soon enough or what. I have the same controller but only made 3 passes with it.

Your running the MSBC-1is right? What is the problem? Just cant get enough boost into it soon enough or what. I have the same controller but only made 3 passes with it.Yes, we started out with like the #7 ramp and went all the way to the #1 ramp (40psi-sec. ) and it still not leaving as hard as it was. We had the launch boost at 11psi and then ramped it to 25psi on the first stage and it is off 2 mph at the 330 and off 3-4mph at the finish even at 25 psi. The fastest it ran last Friday was 118 at 20 psi with the B/C turned off. Last night we tried to get it dialed in and it took 25 psi to get to 118. I am going to Denton tonight to waste more money and mess with it. :mad:

Yeah. I am going to be there.

Gary-

Josh is right.. The boost controller is giving us fits. I dont think the ramp rates that they have in the instructions are accurate.. the car looked totally lazy and had no low-end grunt. I think that with the launch boost stabilized the car will react much better. Before we had no way of launching on the "same" amout every time - One time it would be 11 psi.. and the next it would be 13 psi.. etc.
I think the first pass should be without out any ramp rate at all but with the launch boost at 12 psi or so.. that will definately tell if the boost controller is/was teh problem.

let me know if you need some springs made an inch shorter to get the front height down. I can have them made for about 50 bucks per spring, just let me know the free length you have, ID and spring rate.They are 14" 150lb QA-1 springs. I am thinking I need 12" springs so I can get some adjustment in the coil overs. Do you have an free evening this week so we can bring the car by? Since K-dale will be a wash out today I think I am going to try to get back to the track on Wen. or Thur. since it supposed to rain Friday. Thanks

I installed 14" 175 lb., springs on the frt. susp. of my coupe. Man it sits up real high...... I have the chromoly k-member, tubular arms, so did I lighten up the frt. susp. that much ??

I'm going to try a set I bought off Ebay, 12" 200lb, variable rate,

Is getting the right springs mostly trial and error ???

Also having rear ride height problems, I have the stock V8 springs, just haven't installed them yet....It's weird....my dad bought the same coil over spring package I did and his sits slammed to the ground with the coil overs all the way down. I think my Koni struts are a little taller or something. The front ends weigh and the same also.

I would not go to a 200# spring though. Call QA-1 or someone that makes those springs and they will lead you in the right direction. I would think you would need a 150 rate spring considering your car should be around 3100.

You might hit sdun up and try those 125's. ;)

I know you guys don't believe the true street rookies (the turbo guys that is). Once we get the boost controller worked out we will both be top contendors. The coupe has laid down some pretty impressive numbers for the tire-squeeling fiasco it did two weeks ago. Now- Last Friday.. that was a different story. The boost controller is a tricky science and I thought we just about had it whipped on that last pass and the gangsta's in the other lane kept screwing around ... in and out of the lights, back up, pull foward, rev it up... stage, back out... and finally after josh had staged twice and even put it on the two step - they pulled into the beams and Josh redlit trying to NOT stay on the brake any longer than necessary since the trans temp was already at 250* +
I am sure that we can easily get the .80's necessary to be competitive and maybe even some .70's. Those are just predictions and time will tell once we get it all ironed out.... Until then .. the old man is simply haulin' azz..:eek:

single stage plate, only 2 solenoids and one purge, 3200 lbs I believe .. oh and you can only run 28 X 11.5 ET Streets, Front seats, Working lights.. aftermarket block add 100 lbs...I think that pretty much covers it.. I am sure there is abit more though..

LOL actually I have a consistent 5.8 setup. The only reason it didnt start that way that last Friday was the brake fluid I was leaking and didnt notice. I thought it was the track which may have contributed some early on but I did rin the 5.96 @ 119.97 later with a 1.45 60 and I got a 1.3x 60 on the run out of juice last pas of 6.0x@113

I think it isnt a question of consistency the car will do it easy I just need for the outside variables like leaks not to happen. With no leaks and average track prep the car will run .8s if the controller does its job with no issues it will run .7s I have no doubts.

I can say Roy and Duane will make you beat them it will be no give away. Funny part is no one has mentioned Casey and he pretty much owned the 5s consistently last year. Big mistake to forget him. But I will be racing my car down the lane because if it doesnt go down good it really doesnt matter what tthe other guy can or can not do. I race me and the lanes every time I pull up.

So no motor plates , and 100 lbs extra for aluminum blocks, no size restriction on jet ? I went 5.70's last year on 175 on drag radials, anybody know what the difference is between the BFG times and ET Street times ? I used to run both , but with different setups, seems to me the ET streets should reduce at least .1 or .15 in the 1/8th.No aluminum blocks in T/S. 3100 with OEM small block nitrous. Aftermarket small block 3200, big block 3400, tall deck big block 3500. I would be saving for a aluminum dart block myself if they allowed it.

Ya know what thats fine I will run him on the 2nd time trial to ensure I get my one test run in and have it dial for what ever I think will work to qualify best.

Yes a bet on the .10 for 50 and winner for 50.

remember you are going to qualify #1, right?

I think you trying to make it more than I said it was. I said I predict not the same as I am. We all know about predicitons. You can say one thing but another can come true.

:confused: Well what does he have to weigh then? Is it a OEM small block or aftermarket? Just curious...What was the big deal about then about letting them run (LS-1) then? There was the whole carb intake debate and all....

It is an OEM production block but they are not Aluminum.... :cool:

Carb intakes are cool since they just started making them for the LS1's. They can run the plate and all is good. C5-R would be aftermarket.

MikeI'm confused...so a OEM LS-1 block is not aluminum? I thought they where but what do I know. lol Okay, so maybe it's not a OEM block out of an ls-1 then right? Man you got me all turned around here. So does it have LS-1 heads on it? :confused: Are we talking about KECHME's car also?

Yea KECHME is running a iron truck 3rd gen block, basicly a iron LS1. Unc I would not count him out. When he gets it ironed out on the little tire that car will be brutal.
I hope to be running somewhere in the back of the pack by the 3rd race or so.

Thats one LS1 thats gonna run and be near the top. Bunch of old timers are gonna get hit in the ass when he lines up with em. Im pretty sure they got the PCM stuff figured out too.

I'm not counting anybody out, it's just the old man ALREADY has his lined out. Most of the cars I'm seeing are still in the "figure it out" stage. The old man has it figured out and is running fast on the little street tires. If you race True Street and you wanna win, you are goin to have to beat that old fart at some point in the night in order to come out on top in the end.

That is a true statement no matter how you look at it.

I am not trying to figure out how to make it hook as far as suspension goes it is there I was trying to figure out what was causing the slipage on the drivers side.

Here is the one nite I went and had no leaks on an average track 225 shot hitting it 20 feet out 6.04 @118, 6.04 @118, 325 shot hitting it first 30 feet or so out 5.95 @ 121, 15 feet out 5.85 @ 121 so Id say that was pretty consistent. and that was with the fueling issues on the big end.

Last friday I hit it 30 feet out racing Duane went 5.96 @ 119.97 on the 200 shot with fueling all perfect. and it didnt leak on tire because it was out of fluid in the front I was running on back brakes only I didnt know it till I hit the brakes on the far end! :eek:

All that said Ima hand him his perverbial Ars! for that 100 bucks!
