I cant wait to get to Calgary this summer, Il have to arrange my trip around a meet! (assuming there is meets)

 

are you in our facebook group? i think theres 2 guys from sask in it.

gm tuners of calgary

 

Oh, I LOVE drag racing...
I would way rather be running on the track...

I was thinking of this.

 

look at it this way bud...... waterslides is drag racing except you get wet...... lol well i know im looking forward to this lil vaca..... also on a side note looks like we have completed the conversion of the Le5/sc..... even with self induced speed bumps...... mush ****...... hahhahahahahaha

 

Any track goal in mind?

 

not really, i just enjoy racing...... i would be very happy if i broke 14's going into 13's.... i doubt i will but you never know.....

 

With some traction that should be no problem. Not sure how the Edmonton track is.

 

let's put it this way Dustin;
his last time running at the track was with "Eddie";
bone stock except for intake and headpipe;
iirc he ran 15.3

Mark, last year I broke into the 13's (just barely);
Jon ran a best (iirc) of 14.7

Castrol is a great track.

I think I need Evan to give me pointers on how he's pulled off such good e/t's... comparably, I suck. (iirc he's got 3/10ths on me)

 

Drive it like you stole it

 

nailed it on the head.......... hahahahahahhahaha

i figure on castrol i would be in around 14.2, maybe on a hole shot i might nail 14_.......

castrol is a excellent track, at about 1500 ft iirc..... great track prep and not much for ruts.... essentially the polar opposite of race city when it was open.....

 

oh, I do.

i think I might be inclined to wind it out a smidge too far;
then again, after driving a four banger car that would keep making power till lifter float (somewhere north of 8,000rpm), breaking habit, has been a bit tough.

 

The biggest part is working on your 60ft

 

****, I just get out and push my car to the 60ft and then get a rolling start. **** traction

Haha no, I was good on launches because I used to practice feathering in my sunfire before the 'balt... I dont use the comp mode, i just turn traction off, launch somewhere near 2500, and feather through first. And last year, I was even running on winter tires

We shall see how a set of Nitto's will help the times this year. I like Castrol because, as said, its a great big track, no real ruts, and they painstakingly keep the pavement clean and running awesome. I do tend to avoid the water box though, it can get a bit messy in there after a few rounds of the staging lanes.

 

What's your best time?

 

the Flying Dutchman has awoke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VERY COOL!!!!!!!

 

13.7 @104 with intake/tune. Hoping for a 13.1 this summer

 

I forgot to mention before that my springs, retainers, seat locators and stainless valves came in last week!

 

more to come....

Mark and Jonathan: I think I know why i was only getting about 4 psi of boost.
the boost controller does not need to be connected to the mani. Its killing my boost.
see here: boost leak? 2.4/sc

 

I was going to send the datalog tomorrow - should I hold off??
Are you hoing to change something which might get rid of (maybe some of) your issue??

Text me at the number i gave you...

 

IIRC I couldn't seem to better 2.1 - then again I was pulling no football (or whatever) tricks to limit rear end squat...

 

I'll drive it tomorrow afternoon, and if it feels different, ill let you know.
ive only got your landline iirc

 

well i know you will figure it out......


i want to thank stink and jordan for all the help you gave...... i know i appreciated the help

 

Definitely!
Thanks to Kass, Kyle, Jordan, Jonathan, Jon, and especially Mark and Ella!
Your kindness will not go unnoticed.
I could never have done this without you!

 

Your 60ft was 2.3 on your best 13.9 run iirc?

 

nope, iirc all my sloer runs had crappier 60';
once I got into the groove of things, I could repeatedly pulle off 2..1's - but that was about as good as I could muster, no matter if I tried bogging or what not...

Maybe Evan was on to something with staying out of comeptition mode...
