It's Back (I hope)

[Martin0660]

Went to the Friday tnT, made a pile of passes, car was running 21 PSI, ran a bunch of 12.70's, best was a 12.69. Car is finally launching pretty good ;) This was all at 21 psi versus the 25 I was running before all the turbo problems. This turbo is basically the same as what was on there except a clipped turbine wheel.

Went racing Saturday, air was pretty good, but we only ran 1/8th mile. Car went a 7.86 at 86.57 with a 1.71 60'. This equals my best 1/8th mile time with less boost (still 21 psi). Other passes were in that same leuge (7.87, 7.88, etc). Went a few rounds until I pulled it out of 1st gear on the line.

Anyway, I'm happy its running decent again.

Congrats on getting back to track Bob. Will you try the higher boost again or do you think that was part of the trouble?

My old junkyard short block (bone stock), and a ranger roller, a big valve head and that's about it.

Thqanks everyone for the Comments! Hopeflully going to try Test and Tune Wednesday to get some more passes on it and up the boost a little ;)

Mark - I am going to work the boost back up to 25. I have been so snake bit lately, I just said I wasnt going to touch anything but launch RPM and tire pressure last weekend to get some solid runs in. The problems I was having really had nothing to do with boost level, just some bad parts, and a little detail that bit me.

Me too, your's really runs nice too. I wish the air was better Friday, we could have seen what they would really run. Everyone I talked to was off a good bit then. It was pretty decent air Saturday.
