Did you run today with both sides of the snail?? I'm intrested to see results and data for the turbo

 

I'm only gonna post one pass, it's the only one worth posting. It was my first. All the others sucked... I either bogged it, or slipped the clutch BAD (still smells).

Here's my first:

R/T .667
60' 2.125
330 5.705
1/8 8.63
MPH 83.25
1000' 11.137
1/4 13.225
MPH 108.30

I don't think this clutch could take any more, I made 4 passes all together. It's sad when your first is your best I know the car has way more in it if I could get out of the hole better, 2.1 sec 60's aren't really ideal. Oh well, what are you gonna do...


Caleb, hopefully you finally got your pass in... Its was nice meeting some of you other guys, tell Charlie he really needs to dress more appropriately next time. Hope to see you guys again soon.

Pete

 

I got two passes in last night... I need to be more aggressive.. especially with shifting... i'm still lifting on my shifts... but for now, I'm reasonably ok with the results. Both runs were relatively close... so i'll just post the one.

60' 1.757
330 5.077
1/8 7.825
mph 88.48
1000 10.182
1/4 12.135
mph 115.84

my best pass to date, but again, the mph suggests I should be in the upper 11's... I'll get there. To note, full weight IX, I'm 265, spare tire, jack, some misc stuff in the back (camera case, etc.) so.... ahh who am I kidding, I'm just making excuses. I'll get some better times.

Peter, it was great to see you out! I had a great time, I just wish I would've been able to get there sooner to see some of your earlier passes. We def. need to get out again..

 

Not bad, a mid 12 is within reach with some practice and a non slipping clutch

Looks like you got a good launch, but you granny shift the thing!!It really picked up in the back half..Was this the full turbo?? pumpgas, boost?

 

pumpgas (a trace of C12 in the tank when I put in 93.. maybe 1/2 gal. to 10 gals 93), full turbo, 27ish pounds (my STRI boost gauge sucks and isn't accurate)

yeah, i know i'm soft on the car.. it's my daily driver with 62k on the clock... baby on the way, trying to not dump in drivetrain parts! I'm gonna add the NLTS and play with that some before I go back to the track.

also on that run i bumped the rev limiter a touch on the 1-2 shift... I promise next time I go, I'll be more aggressive.. .LOL

 

Caleb, I take it you were there till close if you got 2 runs in? 12.1 @ almost 116mph is pretty respectable in my book. I'll have to get a new clutch before I go again. I was out driving the car today and it still smelled. Good to see you though. Congrats on the wife being preggers, just what we need a little Fetter running around , just kidding.

 

LOL.. thanks for the compliment, i think? j/k

Yeah, we were there until 11:00 or so... not bad considering they dropped to 1 lane when someone oiled down late in the eve.

D Miller, I wanted to congratulate you again on your runs, especially for your first time out! Great job man! I hope you had fun, and I hope we can all get out again before the snowflakes fall!

Take care and have a great weekend guys!

Caleb

 

anyone going to oaks from philly

 

Can't go this week, but I will be there next week. By the way, Long asked if the Evo crew wanna meet up a little earlier at Oaks since its starting to get dark sooner.

ANYONE UP FOR ART MUSEUM THIS SATURDAY @ 5PM? Suppose to rain in the morning, so I thinking timing will be good.

 

I might be able to go the the Art Museum this weekend... As far as Oaks goes, I may be able to make that as well, and yes, earlier would be better.

 

What time do you guys want to meet today and saturday?

 

Doesn't matter to me... 7ish? (tonight)

Saturday, I have to clear with the wife first...

 

7 is good with me. We should meet some place with food and drinks. I'm hungry

 

Saturday will be 5ish. Its getting darker sooner. Last time, we stay for a few hours, so I'd rather have some light out.

 

can't make it this saturday. will be at the shore again. maybe next time and i don't care about the chill so have another one.
