Another day at the track yesterday at Island Dragway.

Weather was perfect for racing i believe but the track was TOO crowded! I guess because of Saturday's rainout...

MAde two passes only. First pass really banged the gears, since i thought a tranny oil change would fix my problem with the 3rd gear...

I was sooo wrong... erd never went in properly so after shifting 5th and then 3rd i managed a horrible 12.66 @ 118 with 75mph on the 1/8...

However i noticed that with even 24psi in the tires i was spinning too much so i decided to lower the 2step to 6100 i believe...

Second pass was 2 hours later...

The car took off perfectly considering the 3350 lbs weight with driver and snow tires. I reaaaally eased 3rd gear, however the car did the following:

rt 0.864
60ft 1.703
330ft 4.816
1/8 7.416
mph 100.400
1000ft 9.607
1/4 11.368
mph 132.08

I was extatic, especially after looking my AEM log. I went off the thottle for my 2nd to 3rd gear change for 0.68 secs, when my average shifting is 0.35 secs. I dont use no-lift-shifting yet so thats even better!

Here's the timeslip



and here's the video from out and incar...

11.36@132

Some various statistics:

- stock unported head
- stock intake manifold
- stock throttle body
- THE SHOP built 2.0 motor
- BUschur Racing FS635 and various Buschur Racing parts
- Gulf 93 octane 1/4 tank
- Weight with driver around 3350 lbs ( with almost 1/2 i am 3400)
- Messed up 3rd...

10 secs on pump is just around the corner, dont you think?

 

Put a taller tire on. I am pretty sure that even people trapping in the 140's are staying in 4th gear, so there is no reason for you to be shifting into 5th trapping 132!

 

I am not shiftig into 5th until i finish my pass...

I have a built tranny (needs rebuilt again i guess) with the taller 3rd and 4th gear and a 9000 rpm rev limiter... I am good for almost 140 mph with the 235/45-17 that i run...

Great run yourself man!!!

 

Awesome pass man. I think you could have a faster 60' but IDK! either way that thing flies.

 

1.703 is good for street tires. Try doing a burnout next time and I bet you drop a tenth in the 60'.

 

Nice job sir! The car DEFINITELY has PLENTY left in it.

Your 10's on pump are for CERTAIN around the corner.... well into the 10's.

BUSCHUR POWER!

 

Thank you sir!

Buschur Power indeed!

Parts that perform PERIOD!

Even in the hands of completely amateur drivers/racers like myself...

 

Thank you for your support in Buschur Racing and for running our parts. We appreciate it more than you know.

Driver skills.... It all comes with seat time my friend. If you put in the time your skills will develop and continue to get better.

 

Nice work Kouzman, You are almost there. I didnt do anything yesterday, I could have went to Island with you. Next time hit me up.

 

MPH is getting faster and faster for you! nice work kouzman.

you have the VIII 4th gear right?

you just gotta practice on the launch and your in the 10s.

 

Thank you!

Junior insists that the car has another 2mph just from driving! and i believe him!

My average shift is 0.3-0.4 sec and i dont use No-lift-shift yet, so on the 11.36 pass i had at least 0.3-0.4 "penalty" from the slow shift into 3rd...

And the biggest problem is that if you stay so long of throttle with this size turbos, it takes a while to go to full boost again...

At least now i know where my car stands in terms of power and performance...

 

congrats. I have the same turbo. Im just waiting for my double pumper to go in and ill be hitting the track.

 

You need to just let someone that didn't spend the money building it, drive it
I vote me

 

Drive it like a rental!

 

Good job buddy keep it up...........
