EVODAN2004's ''project 9s'' take 2
i hit the track tonight. i have some good new's and some bad. and then more good ha.
its late and im tired so im going to make this quick and simple.
1st pass. nerves where flowing hard core. threw the hole night i didnt want to bang gears hard. i did not want to miss any gears and possibly hurt the car before ohio. so it was babied. i said to my self just role the car out and go threw the gears. make it a warm up pass. tire pressure was 22.5psi. 1.63 60 foot. 10.28 @ 145. this was at 38psi.
2nd pass.. i felt good and relaxed. i left the tire pressure the same but gave the boost controller a few turns. 40/41psi and i blow the car off the line. shifted so damn slow i had time to take a sip of my water. anyways 1.78 60 foot. 40/41psi 10.48 @ 151MPH. yes this is correct. holy F. i still have 5 psi to go.
3rd pass i left everything alone but the tire pressure. i dropped it down to 18lbs. i line up and i hit what felt like the best 60 foot in history. and then it happened. BOOM. the car dies and falls off the earth. i putter it down the track and pulled into my parking spot and popped the hood. holy crap motor oil EVERYWHERE. i looked at my girlfriend who was very sad that we now would miss the Ohio shootout. anyways im trying to keep my cool but i had a bad feeling something was way wrong. also to note when they gave me my time slip. my 60 foot. was a 1.5........... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
anyways Will from Iveytune happened to be there and came up to me and actually calmed me down and said lets go over the car. i explained what happen and he started asking me a check list. we found a hose had popped off the MAP sensor for the FCON ecu. but this did not explain the serious amount of oil all over. we then noticed it basically came out of my catch cans. ok. so we had a serous issue of blow by. pulled the spark plugs and they seemed ok and the piston tops where dry. so it all seemed normal. so we put the car back together and i took it for a drive. it was running 98% ok. anyways i line up for a 4th pass but this was not a drag pass. i just wanted a place to drive the car and hit boost in the gears to feel it out. obviously you dont want to do that in the parking lot. LOL.
that was my last run. i drove the car home and hit it hard in a few gears and she pulls just fine. once i got home i did a compression test because it would make me feel better and it was 145 to 150 across the engine.
i cant explain the blow buy or if it was a coincidence. i haven't emptied it since the last shootout. anyways the car i think is ok. im still a little worried but IDK what else to do to ease my mind.
next time i go to the track it will be at the 2012 BR shootout. im still going and my girlfriend is happy as hell.
vids will soon fallow. i have 4 of them ill get up.

Thats not bad at all for your first time out on the new power level. What tires are you using? Pressure Seems a little high if they are slicks. Also when Joey makes a pass we drain his catch can every fullpass. Hes using a moroso one and it tends to fill up quick also.
