Calder tomorrow night - 7th September

Postby Sunboost » September 6th, 2007, 9:14 pm

I'm reluctantly heading up with the EA. I'm as ready as you can get with low confidence levels.

Will be hoping to crack a 13 if the clanger holds together.

Quit your whinging! At least it doesn't have a minispool & 2.5ton clamp clutch!

Best I ran was a 14.39 @ 101MPH, on my 5th out of 6 runs.

Spewing, all that effort down the gurgler. There's a 13 in it with a auto. It's too inconsistent with a manual.

My first run it pinged a little coming up to redline in 3rd but was fine in 4th and ran a 14.4. That was the second best run.

There was an AIT EA there (Hiboost's mate, his name is Ahmed I think). All that he did was install a 3540 and 24lB injectors, no tune and he ran a 13.1 on his first run. I don't think he saw anything but 13's from it.

Thanks to the cheer squad for coming out, the support and tips were great to have!

Highlight of the night was low speed dosing outside of Haci's Kebab's, then a race up Bell Street lol.

Didn't really get a chance to talk to you about what it was doing, but from what I could see it looked like it was either bogging down off the line or tramping like a motherfcuker.

- Sort out the cooling system so you can do bigger burnouts
- The pinion angle would be all fcuked up by how low it is at the back- causing the tramping
- Drop tyre pressures
- Borrow someones drag radials

Need a few more runs to really get the most out of it I reckon. Should be able to get a high 13 out of it as is, probably low 13's with an auto. Boost off the line FTW!

Calder sucks when its busy like that, cant experiment with techniques when its 45mins between runs.

With any luck I'll be heading up to Heathcote in a few weeks, should mission it up and spend the whole day sorting it.

I know I was a bit stubborn with the setup and not wanting to waste a run John, but yeah like you said 45 minute waits FTL. Not cool at all, you just want to make sure you can improve with the devil you know, rather than risk using the one you don't and stuffing up and wasting a run.

And thanks for your advice and coming down and shit, and to all the other boys - Jared, Max, Damo and the others lol.

It's kunts like bentls that piss me off. Expecting everything from others but achieving nothing themselves. Ya mumz.

I'm running 10PSI in 4th.

2.1 and 2.2 60" times were the culprit I think. I thought I was doing alright like that but yeah.

BTR + Stally + Shift kit = 13.

No 2 ways about it.

lol that wasn't cranners.

Anyways, pretty dispointing night, i'm so over running mid 14's, best run I got was a 14.5, had traction problems pretty much all night and if I got a good launch i'd stuff up a gearchange, but I got a 1.9 second 60' on my last run which I was happy about. Just need to get that 1.9 60' and 99.5 MPH in one run and i'll be happy.

At least you cracked a few 100+MPH passes! Just shows it's a 13 second car no doubt if it's setup right, but your times were still impressive considering it was complete street trim.

Sundeep, its all in your launch. If you can get your launches sorted out, you'll have a 13 in no time. Cause the thing pulls once you're in 2nd gear and up and running. It seems like the cars bogging down a heap off the line.
Don't be too discouraged, my mate still runs better times in my car than i can do! :x
