With more boost? Seems like you'd hafta do something to it. That seems like a big jump to make with just better launches.

[eurotiva]

Rootin' for ya GREG!!!!!!

Thanks Paul. Remind me about that tranny. < now I'll remember How's your bp car?

Maybe ..... This Sunday is "Funday Sunday" @ OSW. Rumor has it that sunday is a great day to run because of a couple reasons....been warned of breakage ;(


1. Lot's of rubber left on the track from the saturday night NHRA events= Traction

2. Better prep than regular test and tune. = traction

3.Lot's of cars so more cool down time 8) = cool motor/happy motor

4. I got a few "lightweight" parts. I was thinking about taking my hitch off (-20 lbs.)and putting manual belts in it (-18ish lbs.). Maybe even put some stock wheels on the back? Stock are 20 lbs. each and mine are 38 lbs. each

5. I have a friend coming so I don't have to carry tools down the track (-25 lbs.)

I've really been paying attention to what mph cars are doing, and I've seen quite a few cars go into the high 12's with about the same mph. If I can get a better 60' I think it's possible to get CLOSER to the 12's.

Tom I'm by no means suggesting that you do this but I'm getting away with 8 degrees BTDC on 93 octane with no ping. If I remember correct yours is 3 or so degrees. Mine gets warm too because I run the a/c everyday. Still no ping.

Yeah, all those things together should certainly get you closer, maybe even actually do the trick. 99 pounds less and better traction sounds good!

What is your boost, if you're running 8 degrees on 93 octane? I'd like to put in 5 more degrees too if there's no problem. My spare is a 12" stocker, and I'll bring another if you can't find one down there, for when I go to the track with you.

I just put on the Aspire sway bar (thanks for helping John), and GR2s are coming soon, so it should handle a lot better.

[aspireguy95]

just a heads up bp+t love 12 degrees timing even on 91.

[resuwrecked]

how many pounds of the fun stuff are you stuffing to the motor now? I need a windshield and real racing harness or stock belts to pass tech inspect now. us13 dragway doesnt like the ebay 4pt harnesses. I am also needing tires and a clutch. debating spending the money on my car or my other festiva and donor car.
