Many people have had doubts about our experience in the racing department. Yes we are new compared to most, yes we bought a built drag car but we have been wrenching and tuning on it to have it prepared and ready to go to Ohio! We will be participating in the Q16.

Unfortunately I won't be able to go. I have some big jobs getting trailed in, one being from Canada and I need to be here no excuses. My driver, Mechanic, and Father will be on there way 5p.m tonight to make the journey from Long Island, New York to Ohio. The car will be at Norwalk's Saturday morning time trials to get the car semi dialed in and prepped for the race.

Last night we stayed late (2 A.M) to maximize our tune. That is done and it's now up to our driver to get the car down the track.

Sorry, no information about what's on the car.

Here is a dyno sheet from where we started and finished last night. I am only showing dyno plots from where the car's power band will be at the track.



This cars new tune, etc will still make over 725whp at 10,000rpm! We were pulling it to 9,500rpm on the dyno in 4th gear.

See everyone at the track!

We are showing up prepared and ready to race. I will be here running the show over the weekend. We will see what happens! See you all there!

 

Good luck at the event!

What correction do you run on your dyno? 850 whp on a DD should be like a 1000 whp on Dynojet.

 

1.1 CF Kinda close to a dynojet I guess you could say. We wanted to see some decent numbers...All in all the car picked up nice power from where we started.

I would be the car would pull 900+ on a dyno jet easy..

 

What did the car dyno when you bought it?

 

We never ran the tune that came with the car on the dyno.

This was the first time we strapped the car down and baselined the car on what we have changed, added, took out, re-done, re-tuned.etc.

 

Very nice guys...I saw Charlie tuning the car...Good luck this weekend...

 

That’s interesting. I remember awhile back you made a big deal about another shop not base lining a car they tuned and then you proceed to let them know that you baseline all the cars you tune. Now you buy a car and you don’t baseline it.

 

Good luck at the Shootout hope you have enough time to dial it it to run some good #'s

 

Can't wait to see the Buschur drag car in action!!!

What was the best time when Dave owned it? 8.8@172mph?

Good luck this weekend.

Car should scoot!

 

Oh give me a break. I am way to tired for this. It's our car, why should we baseline it? why do we have to baseline it?

For a customer sure, the whole point of a tune on a dyno is to see where you start and end.

For a drag car, many times a dyno is not even needed. The real tuning is at the track, anyone will tell you that. Why risk your big investment by blowing a strap and going through a wall?

I could be a real *** and not even post information up about the car. As far as I can remember there is maybe 1 or 2 videos of this car even on a dyno posted on the internet. I thought it would be nice to share some video of this car during it's tuning process with some dyno sheets about what we are doing. You should be so lucky to see numbers on any shops personal drag car.

 

Thank You, the power is for sure there. Hopefully our driver can bite the bullet and get the job done. We are showing up, that is half the respect and battle. We all know the car went 8.8. I can't guarantee the car going a 10.5. It will all come down to our driver.

Thank You Sean I appreciate it coming from a near by shop/tuner.

Yes, the best time this car ever saw was 8.8 @ 172 still holding the world record for that mph in an evo 8. We are for sure on our way to breaking it, we just need to drive the **** out of this car.

 

Glad to hear you are making your first trip to the Ohio race - I think you will agree its an event worth attending

Very nice! Does the car still have a Ford 9" rear, or did you go back to independent rear suspension?

 

Getting it dyno'd is only a small portion of being prepared for a race. Good luck at the race, however I feel that you haven't fully grasped the concept of race preparation.
