Nice ride. glad it's all coming together for you.
Turbo 'Vert finally coming together!
Thought I'd make a dedicated thread since there's been so much discussion on trying to help me figure this thing out. I found that I had some plugwires that had got burned and were arching out. I put some new ones on and things really started to come around. Best times at the Summer cruise were:
1.7281 60'
4.8532 330'
7.4320 1/8th ET
95.66 1/8th MPH
Overall, I'm pretty happy that it's starting to come around. Another thing to note is that I'm still not using the 2-step. I tried it on one pass, and it got the boost up to about 2#'s, but for some reason the 60' was actually just a little worse than it was when I didn't use it. I'm not sure if the converter is holding it back just a bit or what. I'll keep tinkering with it, and think it still has some room for improvement. The calculators show that would be around an [email protected] 120.5mph so that's pretty darn decent! Also, all runs were on 17" MT Street Radials.
