Fontana Dec 4th
I won't spill the beans, but, it was productive!
Well it was productive in the beginng, i might have been the 30th or 40th car down the track, off the trailer the car went a 1.479 60ft(:cheers:heading in the right direction!) 1/8th mile 6.800 flat at 99.22mph and a 10:798 at 121.79. but it felt like it wanted to pull left and i really dont know what i shifted into second at because i think it still might be spinning the tires a slight bit when the car settles.
Next pass was about a hour and twenty minutes later and the place was swarming with a litteral invasion of imports , i swear standing one trailer looking into the lot there were so many you coundn't hardly see any other makes. It was insane!!!
Anyway my car really doent respond to a lot of jetting, and Rob (Crackedback) observed some smoke coming out the exhaust so we decided to jet down 2 sizes on all four corners to see if it would pick up? I decided to grudge race a friends big block on Nitrous lightened 69 Dart, we lined up and had just about a even leave me.080 him .055 anyway the car spun big time to a 1.589 with a pull to the left 1/8th 6.967 at 98.72 and a et 10.98 at 121.19.
In the mean time we played with the air pressure slightly and readjusted the shocks, and played with jetting to see if it would pick up mph etc, nothing was making any difference the track prep was TERRIBLE after all the street tire imports an street tires going down the track
The next two runs after that the 60 fts got worse and worse as the 4th was a 1.777 :angry7: and ran a 11.23 at 121.80.
Well i was quite glum any really didnt know which way to go, and we decided to make a semi drastic change in air pressure eithe 15 or 16 psi or go 20 and stall the car to 1800 to 2000 and hope it would work, well after probably a half hour of debating we decided to go 20psi and stall it to 1800 to 2k.
We went up to the lanes a 3pm for my final run the sun finally came out a bit and when i was probably the 6th car back the did a very late to me track scrape, prep and VHT. Well things were looking a lot more optimistic.
We had no other choice than to leave the tires at 20psi so we decided to stall it up to 2500 to 2700 rpm as i did the first few runs. i went back into the left lane (same as my first pass) gave a very agressive burnout as far up to the line as i could, stalled it up to 2500 , left and i could feel in my stomach the jolt when it left it i was on the right track, even though i think it still is spinnig the tires the tires i was able to shift with the tach at 6400 in second and the same in third the car didnt feel as strong on the top for reasons unknown.
My 5th and final timeslip was a 60ft of 1.475 (better!!!) but the ran 1/8 6.820 at 98.82 with a ET of 10:84 at 120.96
The good news is the Rob(crackedback) did a great job of videoing each pass and helping out working on the car and suggestions, and we need to look closely at what needs what. I swear looking at each pass the springs are winding up into like a fully streched Bow. My expectations ot the RhS headed 410 have been excceded but now i want more! I can post some video later and maybe there is something it needs other than CalTracs LOL. Rob im sure there is LOTS im missing out. Feel free to jump in.
