no converter yet

did a few things to the carb, down one jet size in the rear, down on the power valve from 5.0 to 3.5 as it only creates 5 inches at idle and about 2.5 in gear

went to the track to see how things went.

import vs domestic

not deep staging this race as it was bracket style with a sportsman tree.

1st pass: test pass

.131 rt
1.721 60'
7.346@95.04 1/8th
11.457@119.75

2nd pass: Q1

.051 rt
1.732 60'
7.355@95.63
11.455@119.96

3rd pass: Q2

.034 rt
1.733 60'
7.404@94.24
11.542@119.12
I changed my shift point and kept it under 6000rpm from 2nd to 3rd gear resulting in a slower time, I think?

4th pass: R1

11.45 dial......12.61 dial
.094 rt..............176 rt
1.722 60'.........1.706
7.328@95.67....8.151@83.29 11.592@108.85....12.832@105.73
winner

5th pass: R2 when I pulled to the line Paul the starter came to my car and told me I had to have a fire jacket to run under 11.50 so I had to change my dial from 11.45 to 11.50

11.50 dial.....10.00 dial
.128 rt......034 rt
1.722 60'....1.438 60'
7.351@95.13....6.43@106.68
11.471@118.46....10.090@134.44

back up next Saturday for a night race "jet cars under the stars", going to try and get a jacket this week, then as I suspect i'll have to bar it and get some belts because that will be the next thing I get pinched for

Sorry I missed this tony

on the engine Dyno it made 458 HP at 6000 rpm's and 441 TQ at 4500 with hypereutectic pistons, imo it never really ran that good with those slugs in there.

on the chasis dyno 3 years later and with Diamond 2618 forged pistons it made 348 HP at 6000 and 331 TQ.

got the converter in last Wednesday 8-21-13, went to the track Saturday 8-24-13

open test-n-tune for the first hour

1.677 60' = new personal best
7.11@97.38 = new personal best
11.154@121.10 = new personal best

9 minutes later 2nd pass

1.571 60' = new P/B
7.06@96.14 = new P/B
11.157@119.96

so the converter change was a success

now for competition

Q1
.056 r/t
1.740 60'
7.297@94.51
11.578@112.34

Q2
.068 r/t
1.668 60'
7.199@94.45
11.555@108.03 = #1 Qualifier out of 7 cars

Round 1
.241 r/t >>>>>>.121 r/t
1.68 60' >>>>>>>>1.713 60'
7.219@94.39 >>>> 7.444@95.95
11.405@115.71 >>>winner 11.535@115.79

I broke out handing over the win, MOV was .1301

one more race and I think i'm still 3rd in points, up one position from last year.
