I also got a new best last night :)

[Martin0660]

Finally got everything together enough to try and run the Capri.

On new QTP's so the first pass I spun 1st and 2nd, ran a 13.26 at 106.5 with a lousy 2.07 60'. Second pass it hooked a little better, but when the boost hit spun the top of 1st, and hit them a little in second. The car did go a 12.82at 108.61 with a 1.72 60'. I blew the third pass with a missed second and drove it into the rev limiter twice.

Over-all I was happy with the car for 4 cylinders with a bunch of stock parts. Only getting three passes has got to end.

Kool Bob, My Dad was impressed and digs your car. Wish I could have made it out, let me know next time you go.:D

PRP should read all the complaints and do something about it, they are ruining the track.:mad:

[Martin0660]

My Dad was impressed and digs your car.

I'm not sure if your dad was totally convinced, but after last night, I think he is hooked. We had a good time last night. Glad he came out, you should have been there.

A few pictures for the heck of it ;)

Let me know what you need. Mine is a pretty simple set-up with the rotated upper and NPR intercooler. I have pictures of the intercooler, intake and stuff on my webshots page.

cool thanks i'll look you up at mason on sunday:)

[Martin0660]

cool thanks i'll look you up at mason on sunday:)

I'm hedging a little on going down there Sunday, it looks like about an even chance of rain, I'm a little concerned to drive down, race, and then have to drive this car back home (yeah, I'm a wuss, but I hammer this thing off the line ;) ).

I did go to PRP today for a regular show and ran two new best ET and MPH, it went a 12.74 at 108.6 with a still lousy 1.76 60'. I backed that up with a 12.77 with a 1.75 60'. It was really hot and humid, so I'm looking forward to some good air.

Went back to TnT tonight, another new best for me....

60'-1.72, 330-5.12, 1/8th-7.99 at 84.87, 1000-10.49, 1/4-12.59 at 110.16

I ran threee other passes over 110 mph, the 60' times were all worse on those for 12.7X kind of runs. Founf the T'lok is for crap, need to throw a set of clutches in and see what it will do with BOTH wheels.

Bob Myers

[Sonic03snake]

Lookin Good Bob.:cool:

[Mater]

nice job Bob!

[somethingclever]

How many runs did everyone end up getting?

Congrats on the new times....did pumping up the airbag help keep the car straight?

[yeahloh95]

thats great i was going to go but thougt for sure they would cancel :mad: nice times:eek: how much more do you think it has with a good 60ft?

[Mater]

i think they got 4 runs

[Martin0660]

Thanks everyone, its starting to get worked out!


did pumping up the airbag help keep the car straight?

I think the combination of the QTP's comming around and being able to run them at a little higher pressure, plus more air in the bag seems to have worked. It never moved last night, pretty straight.


how much more do you think it has with a good 60ft?

Well, 110 mph should be good for a low 12 pretty easy, but the 2.3's are a little odd with 60'. I really doubt this thng is going to get into the 1.5 range, I would be thrilled to see a 1.65 range 60', that would probably be a 12.30 type pass. There is still a little left in the engine too, I could still run another 2 or 3 pounds of boost in it when I get some other stuff tuned ;) Real optimisitc, there might be a real high 11 in there with everything just right.

We will see
