Shakedown pass original movie

[04snake]

SOOO much to do yet, this is just one of many more shakedown passes. I'm having lots of trouble going from a 26x10.5 to 28x12.5 tire but I had to concentrate on the tune for the first 2 trips to the track, hopefully I am finishing that phase up. This is my last pass from my 3rd day at the track with the new setup, I already drained my bottle so I'm going blower only and it practically was a hot lap. I spun over 1/2 of the way thru 1st but I had been trying to dial some spin in, just got too much. I am granny shifting to make sure I get good datalogs. The car pulls timing it gets so hot by third gear and only runs 11.30, but the run does verify the tune and was encouraging because it launches flat & straight with spinning tires and is easy to drive still. I never pedaled, it sounded like it wanted to hook and they were not shuddering so I am getting closer and I think I am better than the dead hook and bog I was doing the 1st two trips to the track.

I am playing with new camera mount locations, as always feedback on the movie is appreciated.

I'm diggin' all the different camera views and the data logging capabilities. Looks as if your getting it down to a science. What factors were considered when making the switch to the taller tire?

Very nice camera/editing work. Maybe just a bit slow and dry in the begining, and end though.

the setup I had before was hitting the traps right around my shift point 63-6400, so with the new setup I added 50 hp with a port and 6#lower and strapped the NOS for even HP but the NOS doesn't kick in until I'm rolling. I switched to a tire that was favored by the guys that switched to big twin screws, but I might not have enough to launch it? not sure but give me a couple trips to the track and I'll figure it out, I might just need a 6500rpm launch.

Looking good Stu!!! I know you will get it figured out. It doesn't look like the front of the car comes up at all.

yeah I had to take most of the transfer out until I can figure out how to hook but not bog. I am running 12-14lbs instead of 9-11. When you were running the 28" tire, how much air were you running? I just need some more passes to find the right combo.

11.5 psi in the tires, 6800 rpm launch rpm. No bog at all with it dead hooking.
