    new brakes! (and something else)

    my mavrick/granada disc brakes just weren't cutting it at 140+mph. these should do the trick: the kit is top-notch. saved 40lbs off the front. while i was at it, i dropped this in:

    Put the car on the dyno yesterday.

    1st time ever for that car. combo: 351w, t76, c4, 21psi, e98, efi. made a bunch of pulls creeping up on the tune. the car loved timing with the e98. no intercooler and it took 28deg @ 20psi. i have 38deg @10psi. car made 700hp/643tq. it was breaking up ~5700, but i don't know what...

    Fired it up!!

    finally! i switched from blow-thru to efi, and got to fire it up saturday. it started right up. the big magnafuel pump makes a little bit of racket, but not too bad. i'm running straight ethanol this year. as expected, i had the 1st start gremlins. thankfully, i've addressed all of those...

    Switching to EFI!!!

    i just couldn't draw a bead on my carb'ed blow-thru setup, so i'm bitting the bullet (and wallet) and switching to efi. i'm going with the accel thruster system, which is just a slightly scaled down gen7. i still need to buy the 120#/hr injectors also. it will be nice to add fuel with just a...

    think i can weld it up and grind it down?

    Got a decent mph at the track last night

    last night was 'no track prep tuesday'. with no boost controller, 15psi (which i only see at the end of high gear- 12psi most of the run) i ran a [email protected] 1.63, [email protected] 1.67, 10.28@137 1.61. last pass i hooked the controller back up which give me 19psi thru most of the run. since the...

    3rd in norwalk funford true street

    here goes: it was a fun weekend. during t&t on fri i got a good run and ran a 9.88. i didn't get a slip because friday was a big cluster****. so i guess no slip = didn't happen. saturday during true street they said if you run in the nines, you BETTER have all of your stuff in order (which i...

    Sigh...looks like i'm done for the year.

    i was having transmission problems, so i sent it back to get repaired. after 1.5 weeks, they finally get it done. they said my converter was trashed (horay edge racing :( ). by the time i send it out to get fixed, returned, and installed, there won't be enough of the season left to make it...

    Moroso Drag Spring Users

    how much longer was the moroso springs compared to the stock springs? i bought a set off ebay and although i haven't removed the stock ones yet, the 'morosos' don't look much different. spring diameter is almost identical also.

    Turbo Classic Track Times.

    Trans shield in a classic

    i know this is a long shot, but does anyone here run a transmission shield in their automatic equipped classic? there doesn't seem to be much room between the tunnel and the tranny for one to fit.

    Pegged my Boost gauge yesterday.

    over 20 psi. opps, guess i better pay more attention to those 'minor' wastegate spring adjustments. anyways, 15psi is plenty. 20 is unuseable on the street and just causes the converter to slip more anyways (15% at the track w/14psi). i fixed my horrible stumbling problem by just plugging the...

    First time track outing Gremlins

    well, any day you can drive your car onto the trailer is a good day. that being said, i made three passes. i have a horrible bog/stumble that i haven't yet tuned out. it's getting way too much pump shot. all runs were with ~15psi on 275/50-15 m/t radials. 1st pass i left just off of idle...

    i finally got my 357w, pt76gts, blow thru project 95% done. i've been driving it around the 'hood putting some miles on it. I've have a few minor (hopefully) issues to iron out, but that's just finish work. here's some pics:
