Car is prepped for Track Rental tomorrow, neg DA forecast. Thinking while taking the pics, these are really great cars, I never imagined I would ever own something like this. I feel that we are the lucky few and the rest have no idea what they are missing...

Are you sayin...we're kinda privileged...????

New personal best. Last run I launched harder and spun, might be at the limit of what the car will do, or maybe the prep was wearing off. I hope to get another try before they shut down the dragway in a couple weeks, all depends on weather.

Adrenalin Rush got it on vid! I took me a while to figure out how to trick the PCU to get a good launch, which is why I sat at the green light so long. I think I now have it figured out.

When my wife has time I'll see if she can edit it but she is very busy making $ for us!

Update: She helped me edit it this morning, this is now the shorter version.

What was the temp? Track starts getting greezy later in the day with the heat from the sun

 

[TorRedHellgato]

Yeah I'll get it fixed. No choice. lol

This is NH in Oct. We worry more about tires getting cold and condensation on the track.

Nice! I used to be able to catch negative DA when I lived in Cincinnati. How many psi does your car make? 17?

Couple more racing pics

 

[Unholy707]

Almost finished with the MMX 2 step install. Will be testing it out at the track soon. Eager to see what the car does. Long tube headers, fully ported and rebuilt supercharger, 108mm throttle body, 2" primary long tube headers, poly engine mounts, 2.50 pulley from a 2.69, and 2 step for launching

That's record setting weather! I never see below 2900 DA

Maybe because you moved to Germany???

Yeah, here you can catch some good days, you need to watch and wait. It is a balance between cool air but not cold enough to affect traction. My previous best was in my "In Search of 9's" thread last May, DA was -345, did 9.993. That day it was so cold the Chiller would not engage, but it was a new personal best.

Last Friday, DA was about -115, about 10 deg warmer, and the Chiller was functional. I beat the previous best by .003.. I am still learning how to launch. I think I might be able to squeeze another .005 if the right conditions occur. Otherwise, I'll be happy with what I got.

I never understood why they build the tracks on mountaintops in Florida.

Hit a snag, noticed I rolled pinched and broke 1 of the o rings on the FI spacers when reinstalled supercharger months ago. Have barely driven the car since then and haven't gotten on it. Blessing in disguise really. Looks like I'll be pulling the supercharger here as soon as I get some replacement o rings

Humidity and heat. It's always high da even though tracks are no more than 50' above sea level

You're shitting me, right?

Whoda thunk there would be heat and humidity (or alligators) in Florida.

Or so many snakes that there are bounties on their "heads"...

Nice runs. I launch right above idle. I have tried different ways and found it works best for me flashing the convertor

I don't flash the converter at all by foot braking it I just stab it at idle. I'm hoping the 2 step help with reaction time and 60'. It can't be any more tough than just stabbing it from idle. Also have several tunes for track conditions. Cant wait to give it a try, having to pull the supercharger again is annoying though
