Wellllllllll yesterday was very disappointing at the dyno and at the track.
Dyno
[/U][/B]On the dyno i really dont know understand why the numbers were so low.... He said my big slicks were absorbing some power, if i went with street tires he said i would see highr numbers, the carb was acting up so we busted it apart, and found so much junk and metal in there it was crazy. He also said my quickfuel 750 is crap. Something in the metering blocks are not right, he said he wanted to throw a diff carb on it to see if i would pick up any. He was also tellin me my converter wasnt doing what it was suppose to, i guess its too loose or something because its a cheaper one ($550 i didnt think that was too cheap, lol).
Track
The car will not weight transfer, we cant figure it out... I just put the front 10 way adjustables on it and we jack the front up a bit, and put the back up a bit, the fronts are as loose as they can go. The car just wont squat at all. Anyways first pass out, 18 PSI in the tire, very small burnout, I spun up till half track, scariest ride of my life, i prolly should have lifted way earlier. It pulled a 1.9 - 60' (HORRIBLE) and i think it went 12.1 @ 115. The rear wasnt square because the rear trys to drive to the left and i have to counter steer to the right. We squared the all up as best as we could. We went out again, dropped tire pressure to 14, did huge burnout, and the car 1.7 - 60' ( Still Horrible, the car was doing 1.6 - 60' on et streets) didnt spin as bad, but still did, i clicked 2nd, went to go click 3rd, it was there...... It free reved to about 7500 RPM. Third gear is GONE..... When i was on the line waiting to go, i was on the converter for a while at about 2000 rpm because the guy next to me was dicking around. So we think we welded on stuff together in there. When i manually shift it, it goes 1-2-1. A guy told us that 1 and 3 gear were on the same band or something, so thing is messed up. And to tp it alllllll offf. I took the car down the test lane to see what the tranny was doing got to the end of the road and pulled off the road to do a turnaround, well the car dipped to one side when i pulled into the grass and the fender filleted my new slick.
Im sick of this, this is costing me to much money, im done for a while........
Well its a long post, my bad. Just venting!
