Could be the plugs, you never know til' you try. But I asked you about the cat because I thought maybe yours was either too restricted or clogged. Do you have an air/fuel ratio gauge or autotap? I think you need to monitor the O2's to see if your lean or rich also.

[slomaro]

change your plugs to NGK tr6's gaped at .35

and get a limited slip you need to lower your 60 oot times now to see better times

you should be able to cut 2.0's a tenth in the 60foot = 2 tenths in the 1/4 mile

theres no way you have traction, hell i barly do and thats with a lsd

get some nittos beack there and a limited slip and i see that taking off close to .4 tenths off your time


also when you go to the track to help with traction take the front sway bar off JUST DO IT trust me it helps the car squat and helps transfer weight to the rear tires allso get some 16" rims hell get cheap ones it dont matter 50 bucks for 2 rims and mount nittos on them with a LSD and you will see the times you want and you will run more consistant

trust me i run at probably the fastest track in the country its all about puting the power to the ground and your not

I did a therough look through of my car and found these. 1) My radiater needs to be flushed and then fixed. It had rust inside it and when I poured fluid in yesterday, it all went on my driveway. So Ive been running the engine with no antifreeze.2)I beleave the bearings in my tensioner are gone as well. When I let the slack loose and try to spin it by hand Ill only get two rotations and then it will just stop dead in it's tracks. How many rotations can you guys get? 3) Between the bottom of the powerdyne and the top of my oil filter there is some type of electronic device that sticks about 3-4 inches out of my engine. Im not sure what it is but it broke off my engine and is hanging by the wires. What is that and what dose it do? You'll see it sticken out in the place I described when you look from the right side down to were the oil filter is.4) yea I think I spaced my plugs a little too far if you guys only go .35. Oh Im pretty sure Im running rich since my fuel guage goes up to 100. Or am I with 8 psi? Well first thing Im gonna do is fix the radiater leak and then the electronic thing. I appreciate your help guys.... For a minute there I was about to give up and just do a LS1 swap and get mt powerdyne spinnin the other way ,buy the brackets and all to make it work and have a low 12 monster. I'm getting 20,000$ in a few months for a disability I got from the army. But Im not gonna be weak like some others (just a joke Guys)Im gonna build her till she 's quick or blows up. Honestly, if she blows up I will drop in a LS1, but thats the only way.

That thing is your oil pressure sending unit. You have to have your plugs gapped at .035 and use NGK TR6's they are colder and run much better I run them NA i have rtuna 14.34 NA on them and a 13.0 on nitrous with them

[98GREENGLOW]

Im gonna act like last week never happenned and go again. Ive got a plan to get traction and it better work. He he. Well wish me luck again.

[98GREENGLOW]

I went again and had pretty much the same results. My first run with a 2.6 60 ft got me a 15.6 at 90 mph. After that the spark plugs being gapped at .60 kicked in and I did 6 runs with 2.2-2.3 60 fts at 15.7 And they were all at only 86 mph! Im not disapointed. Any time you can pull a 15.7 with 18 inch rims and 175 pounds dispersed through the trunk and over the right wheel (to control traction) at only 86 mph you know theres just so much potential there. im about to take care of my spark plugs right now and gapp them at .35.

Get the NGK gapped at .035 not .35 for SC.

Green, I know it takes money, but try getting the draglite 15" wheels. I have heard that with 18" you could lose anywhere from .3-.5 on ET. Even the Vette's are using 15 or 16 inches.

Try to go as light as possible on race day. Launch right by stalling it to 1800-2000 rpm and on the yellow light let it lose. If I'm wrong with this guys, please correct me.

Good Luck.

Hey Thor I changed my plugs and gapped em at .35. No more misfires and she feels a lot more happy than she was with the .60 gapping. When I was under my car I noticed that I forgot to replug in my jet scu 2000 after going from 3.08-3.42. After hooking it up my car is not sluggish on the top end any more. I think that is the reason I was only seeing 5 psi of boost in 3rd gear and having a sorry best mph of only 92mph. The car was changing gears wat to quick cas it thought there were still 3.08's in there. Now She swithes gears and puts me back in the seat and even my 3rd gear is a solid 7-9 psi. My only problem is that I keep hitting the rev limiter so Ill have to adjust my scu some more. Ill be going again this Friday with what I beleave will be better results than ever.

[98GREENGLOW]

I got the scu 2000 tuned and I now change gears at 5900 rpm's. The .35 gapping took care of my misfires and I am defiently ready to go put out some new numbers.
