thought id update this ..
ive been making changes but havent had the opportunity to get out and try them with the weather being so uncooperative
changes were because the power was coming in way to quick and couldnt get the car to hook , i had added co2 assist to the wastegate and that seemed to make it worse , even the ramps werent helping much
suspension was just stock upper arms , welded stock lowers and old 3way AVO shocks ....swapped them out for umi dbl adj poly uppers and umi box poly lowers , comp eng 3way adjustable shocks set 90/10 front and 50/50 rear .
installed a TA girdle rear cover with cap studs knowing once it hooks its going to be brutal
relocated the battery to the trunk with flaming river remote shutoff (nhra legal) which allowed me to put the alky bucket where the battery was and rear face the outlet because logs were showing that it was cavitating top of 1st gear , also replaced my 8yr old alky controller because it was no longer working progressively
fixed my PI gnx cluster vdo fuel level gauge and once again could see the actual level so i topped the tank off with 93 at quik chek
and also added a bailey two step to get a better handle on the launch to allow me to launch below my gate spring (8psi) if the track wasnt hooking
finally
efi event sat 10-22-11
nice weather for a change , no rain , mid 60s da 500-600ft 12mph wind (4 headwind) but what can ya do
sun was out and friday night was hooking great
old worn mickey 275/60-15 drs at 18psi , weight now with the battery kit and the full tank put the car at 3590 according to etowns new scale
1st pass set controller at 23psi and (ran 22 most of run)
forgot i had set a ramp to stage 1 on the msbc-1 (had ramp 10 )
had the baily two step set at 3200 launched at 6 even though it could go to 8 with the spring , and i remembered to turn the co2 on
