Re: Some more of my losses.

It looks like your truck is falling flat on it's face after the 1-2 shift. Are you boost launching it at all?

yep, leaving at 5lbs. it runs through the rpms, but then holds around at 4500 for awhile before it shifts. doesnt appear to be the TV cable, cause i adjust it on a regular basis. i dunno, it takes off, then just flatlines.

BTW, the run where i ran the girl in the T/A, i didnt boost launch.

Ouch, he ran you down with a quickness. Only Vette that ran me down that fast (actually it wasnt that fast, bout the 1/8) was a Z06 with drag radials. Have you done any data logging? Whats done to the truck?

Re: Some more of my losses.

the last log i did wast last week, it was a highway drive. all the numbers were in order.

BTW, it was a lignenfelter supercharged Z06 with DRs, so i dont feel that bad, the T/A runs 12.7s, and the mustang has a Steeda conversion (less the decals).

my mods are in my sig. boost control is a crap shoot, due to a sticky stock WG. I'm bringin the truck in for the season next week, and replacing the engine with a "built" spare i have, and i'm gonna redo just about everything on the truck. (thanks to a $10k raise at work :tup: )

Damn that was down right horrible for the TBSS club. The SRT-8 sounded sweet.

What was your time in between runs? With the stock intercooler and a few turn arounds you where probly getting some wicked heat soak. Did you get any sputtering in the upper rpms? If you have an acuate boost gauge you will see it pull boost if your getting heat soak and detonation.

Re: Some more of my losses.

with the high comp. bottom end that i have, i make 15psi worth of power at about 12psi. And above 12psi with pump gas cause me to knock. So when i race i run straight 105 octane, and i run 15psi with no knock. I leave at between 5 and 7psi, and it my gauge stays between 14 and 14.5psi. It didnt knock or anything, the power just leveled off at about 3500rpms, and rode it out to 4200ish when it shifted.

Have you run your Sy at the track and gotten some numbers? It does look like it falls flat on its face after the 1-2 shift. It shouldn't start falling on it face until 60mph.

Re: Some more of my losses.

i think his best 1/4 was like a 14.5xx, his 60s were good but that is wat it seems like its doing. outta the hole he would pull like a length and a half on me but as soon as we hit about 200 feet id be pullin on him and it was all down hill for him from there

also video is hard to tell to on those angles, there very decieving cause i raced lthere before and same thing for my videos

Obviously their are some problem if he is only running 14.5, he should be atleast 1 sec quicker.

i ran a 14.5 on 2 occasions. First at homecoming with no IC, no OD, and 3/4 throttle. The second time i had no IC (I routed the hoses backward), it was overboosting, and it was about 95 degrees out.


so.. so far, i havent run the 1/4 with my IC working. and if i can get my boost under control, i think i'll be mid-low 13s

i'll give it another run here before the end of the season, and get a slip.
