2 New PB's
Yup, took me alllll night long, but it finally happened. Quick rundown of the night...ET Streets were awesome and hooked great, blew pipe clamps every other run, spent most of our time fixing the car. Hot lapped at the the end of the night. I made about 10 runs all night, but only 2 were good healthy runs other than that, I screwed the launch (learning new 'verter) or blew off an intake or intercooler clamp.
Same setup = 12 psi and 2 separate 50 shots of nitrous.
Best run of the night:
60'...1.80 <---new PB
1/8...7.93<---new PB
mph...86.87
Second best run:
60'...1.88
1/8...8.055
mph...86.53
I pulled a few other 1.9 60's as well, but as soon as the second stage hit...blew a clamp...****ty run.
Weather was not favorable at all. It was low 80's all night with 95% humidity...turbo does not like that.
We have some more tuning to do as well. The tune right now is from January when it was cold and dry as hell so it was running rich all night, but we couldnt get a good tune to look at because the car kept breaking
Once I finally had the launch pretty much figured out and found out why I kept blowing intake clamps I ran out of nitrous! I had another full spare bottle, but it would have taken awhile to warm up and the track was closing in less than 15 mins. I wanted another 7.9x slip sooooo badly, but it just wasnt in the cards for me tonight.
The intake clamp issue was due to turbo surging during the burnout which knocked it loose, then when the second stage of nitrous hit it came completely off. Easy fix...let out of the gas completely and let the BOV do its job lol.
More tuning, practice on the launch and better weather and this car should do consitant 7's and hopefully low 12's in the 1/4. We shall see...
