Sept 1015 a decent pass at the strip

[Speedtospare]

Quick run down. 93 coupe, Mach 1 engine, Eaton swap @ 9psi, x-pipe with cats and flowemasters, all 2.5 inch using stock manifolds, T56, built rear with 4.10 gears, slicks, coilovers. I'm still working on the suspension as its not hooking very well as seen in the video. Should run very low 11 once its figured out. there cars suffer fraom heat saturation very bad. I will be making a ice box in the trunk for the intercooler. This pass I went 11.50@121.8 sleeping at the tree.

I would say traction is an issue

 

[Speedtospare]

Yep. Should have been an 11.20 pass. With the ice cooler and a few little other tricks I want to break into the 10's. That will be the limit of the motor.

Are you running 93 octane or race gas with the eaton swap? Any detonation issues?

Car is tuned for 91 octane. I have a good tuner. I have had no problems at all. We keep it a little rich up top just to make sure we avoid detonation. I also dont run the knock sensors

For as loose as u were it was pretty quick. Nicejob.

 

[Speedtospare]

Thanks. Had way too much pressure in the slicks. Changed from drag radials to slicks. Would have won that if it was a clean pass. Friends vette with a 400ci stroker so it was ok losing to him.

With slicks it can also be caused by too low pressure. Strange. That is oppisite of what i thought.

I had 15 psi, should have been 11-12ish psi.
