[DSM] New Mitsu Gas Record - 8.332 at 168.06mph
[DSM] New Mitsu Gas Record - 8.332 at 168.06mph
We made it out for another Milan True 10.5" tire race saturday to try and hang with the RWD guys on 28x10.5" or smaller tires. The weather was hot (86F high) and the best pass was actually just off the trailer with an 8.33 at 168mph. Later on it went 8.42, 8.61 (bogged launch), 8.9 on a partial pass, and 8.37 up against a 7.90 where I lost in the semi's to the top qualifier.
The first pass details:
1.3088 60'
3.5838 330'
5.4228 @ 132.35mph 1/8th
6.9939 at 155.10mph 1000'
8.3328 at 168.06mph 1/4mi
The full passes were in the 165mph range mostly. It was miserable out and the track temps were extremely hot. The last pass had a 1.29 60', which was the best of the day. I didnt' really get much tuning done, but plan to get it to the dyno before the next time to the track, which will be the shootout. We have a baby due in just a couple weeks and it would be a little nutty to try and make it out again before the new arrival.
At the dyno I plan to test it at higher boost and with a couple little changes. It was at 43-44psi at the track and must have a leak somewhere because it wasn't willing to make any more boost. Backpressure is still relatively low, just touching 46-47psi peak. I need to get brave and boost leak test it to 50psi to see if anything starts to pop open or get some video at the dyno to see if a header slip joint is starting to open up by this pressure.
