Sir Silverback was right

[Nowwhat]

as always.....

I used a gear formula (Unitrax) that he told me was wrong...but I didn't listen....

here is the correct one...on my 10.7 run...the nitrous shut off 100'- 150' before the line....the controller shuts the juice off at 6200rpm...

well based on a 4.56 and a 31.5" tire...I hit 127.5mph before the line and the computer shut me down....looks like I need to bump that up to 6250....

damn...will never argue with the wise one again

Good run Mike

 

[Silverback]

I told you so.

Just kidding Mike. I would never lie to you. I might jerk you around for a month or 3 , but I won't lie.

What gears did you get with the DTS? :dontknow:

didn't the "wise one" also tell you to put the wing back on along with some headers ??

 

[Silverback]

I kid him about the wing.

Now the headers are another issue. I really find it hard to believe that DC still doesn't recommend headers.:dontknow:

Between the Paxton and a 350 shot of nitrous, that engine is moving a shit load of air. I'm guessing it would pick up at least 50 to 70 hp with the addition of headers.

But then what do I know? :dontknow: I'm only an ape that was taught how to type.

4.56 but compute it with a 33 hoosier that may grow to 33.5 on big end

you type very well for an ape.

 

[Silverback]

you type very well for an ape.

What's the saying? :dontknow:

Put a hundred monkeys on typewriters for a hundred years and they would be able to type all the works of Shakespere.

Mike if you consider the changes you will make with your setup what would be the realistic 1/4 time at Famosa? Take into consideration the extra weight of the roll bars and not taking any accessories out.

Probably wouldn't hurt if he had Striker heads too!

In my conversations with Dan, he is pretty adimant about issues created by running headers. There are several things on the engine that need to be shielded/insulated against the heat. This adds a fair amount of time and materials to an install, and the engine compartment starts to look like the guts of the Hubble Telescope. Even though my headers have what I believe is the Jet Hot coating, I have already (or plan to) insulate the starter, plug wire boots, fuel line, steering column coupling boot, A/C lines, heater hoses, intercooler (underside), and most of the supercharger air tubes.
