Bluex

Now fast forward one month later to last night where I got a chance to finally run my new trans with the taller final drive. Gearing problem is solved as I should be able to do over 145MPH at the top of 4th now on the new gearing.

First shot out:

BlueX / 05/01/13 / ATP Turbo / Evo X / ATP GTX3582R, pistons, rods, cams, E85, Hoosier DRs, 38 PSI / 138.358 MPH

140+ MPH here I come!

Just gotta learn how to get out of the hole without spinning all 4 for so long!

Nice job man! Moving on up the list & knocking on 9s! What changes were made since last time you went, weight reduction?

PrimerSdime

iTrader: (14)

Thanks man, it's nice to finally be making some progress. It's still the same weight. I actually changed the way I was launching the car, and played with the tire pressure and managed to finally get my 60' down in the 1.5's. The only other thing I changed was I swapped the manual boost controller out for a Grimmspeed 3-port because my boost was tapering from 35 to 30 by 8000.

I need to do some more testing in the next few weeks to get it ready for the Buschur shootout. I think i'm going to see what the turbo has in it and crank it up. If I have anything to do with it I'll be bringing 9's on a stock block to the stock appearing class.

Good stuff, I was on my phone & didn't look at your 60 fts on the slips. .2XX quicker 60 ft will definitely help cut the ET down, which you saw. I imagine the higher mph is due to the Grimmspeed holding boost better up top. What does the car currently weigh, she still pretty much full weight?

PrimerSdime

Yea, I think the Grimmspeed helped me pick up a couple mph.

I'm not exactly sure what it weighs currently. The last time I weighed the car it weighed 2900 lbs with a 1/4 tank of fuel, no driver. Since than I installed the drag brakes which saved 40 lbs, and different wheels which were 15 lbs lighter per corner. I'm estimating the car weighs 2800 lbs without driver now.

It's still full interior, a/c, power steering, full exhaust, etc.. I have no intentions of gutting the car as I drive it on the street regularly. It actually still has the stock unported intake manifold, throttle body, and ignition system on it.

I love these lists.

We need to be on top this year I'll offer $100 cash reward to whoever takes the top spot with one of our turbos.

BTW where are all the MAP turbos at they have an 80 page results thread but not a single car on this list.

I think it's awesome that you are on here doing this. I couldn't be more happy with what this turbo is doing, it's not even all in yet. I intend on being at the top of that list.
