Bad News

[1DangerousV6]

the bad news is..12s arent gonna happen :( ..as some of you were tearin it up down in MD..i was up here at lebanon valley..i got the nitrous working fine again..had a problem with a vacuum hose..i ran a 100 dry shot, 3350lbs race weight, BFG DRs at 28psi, and stalled to 1800 - 2000..traction was AWESOME..however..this was good for a 14.32@97 ..so i figured something had to be wrong here..all that work and i run a low 14???..so i figured out the problem..my car is a SLUG!!..the next day i did 3 NA passes..every single one 15.67..the first two were on my 18" wheels with BFGs and the last one was on the 16" weld pro star XPs with M/Ts at 16psi..no difference..so after all of that work..after i tune a higher shot and get that TC in..i'll pretty much just be back to where i was..mid 13s

sucks man, bad fuel? Tuning mistake?

[1DangerousV6]

not really sure..i was running on 93..even for a few days before i went racing so the computer could get used to the premium fuel..the tuning/logs looked good..it just seems like..with my mods..my car should be running low 15s..im going back this weekend to try to focus on injecting the nitrous sooner..i think i was hesitating because i wasnt used to being on drag radials..the traction couldnt have been better..id like to inject pretty much off the line..i took 3 tenths off finding the sweet spot for nitrous on street tires..so i should be almost in the 13s if not a 13.9 on a 100 shot..i havent tried the 120 yet..i may try running an open y-pipe too

i did race against an 05 mustang GT and he only beat me by 2 tenths..that was pretty cool

What was the 60ft? and.... didn't you have your motor built also? what stall is the converter?

If you give us the full slip we can atleast help point you in the right direction.

ha ha ha... we posted the same question at the exact same time!!!!

[1DangerousV6]

i was pissed..so i dont have any slips..i just chucked em all.. but i believe my 60' for that run was a 2.0..i only got a 1.9 once out of the two days..also the converter is stock..havent gotten the money yet to put the converter in..i'll most likely be doing that in may or june

everything else on the slip seemed to add up though on the nitrous run..1/8 mile was 9.something..1000' was like 13.5

Your car has problems. Fix them and you'll be faster.

I hope you logged the runs with HP Tuners. If so, send me the log and maybe we can figure this out.

[foff667]

wow dude that sux, definitly sounds like you've got some issues to work out.

[Little G]

I used to have a 16 second car. I never got anywhere throwing money at it or giving up. Yeah, I've been frustrated many times, but I never gave up. I always researched and my mods have all been done in the right order. I currently have over 150 passes on this car, too. That's the only way you'll be fast. You wan't it faster? Buy a V8.

yes a log would be veryyyyyy helpful

[1DangerousV6]

i didnt save the logs this time because i KNEW i was having some issues (one of my wheels is rubbing..not sure all the time or what..and bottle psi) ..but i DEFINITELY will next time..im ordering a pressure controlled bottle heater to set at 1100 psi to replace my temperature controlled one..and may be putting some spacers on the rear

You just had a bad day, Try another day. You need to learn the converter also.
