I went to the track tonight... Best run of the night was a 12.200... but MPH was 138.29!!!! I crack myself up... My short times were 2.5x with a best of 2.491... truely pathetic... I am looking forward to getting the C4 TC back from being restalled and putting that trans back in so I can actually launch the car.... she took a beating tonight.. I ran four times tonight starting out at 30 psi and working my way up to 38 psi... RPMs at the shift points were between 7000 and 8000 rpms... The car was driven to and from the track (aprox 140 mile round trip)... I showed up, let some air out of the tires, removed the cap on the dump, filled it up with C16 and let her rip... got done, put the dump cap back on, filled up the tires and drove home....
there is still so much work to do... I need to finish the nitrous install and get that tuned, I have decided that the MT ET Street radials must go... The just are not hooking well enough for me... My boost is coming on very quickly once it starts to spool.. boost went from 12.9 psi to 36.5 psi in 1/2 second and this is just causing tire spin... I am trying to decide between the MT ET Street and Hoosier Quick Time DOT slicks... I have run the MTs before but not the Hoosiers... I am kind of leaning towards the Hoosiers... I really need to get the Q diff in the car... The welded diff works great but the gear ratio is just not what my car needs for good trap speeds... I was actually going into 4th gear (overdrive) to run thru the beams... The trans didnt like this much and would spit fluid out of the overflow on the top of the trans.. probably not a good thing at 140 mph...
I had a great time once again and am really getting a kick out of the questions I get from people... "you got an SR or an RB in that thing???" when the answer comes back "no... its a KA" the faces I get are flat out hilarious....
I got plenty of vid which is going to Ryan tomorrow... Hopefully he feels better and gets around to making another vid... He has vids of late night high boost runs on the highway... a slaughtering of a Civic on the highway and will now have the latest installment of track vids... Should make for a nice vid...
Sorry to ramble... kind of tired and excited all at once..
