Title: Finally got my 11 sec pass!
Post by: deathbypsi on October 02, 2017, 11:54:41 AM
Took my car to track one last time for this season tryin to finally meet my goals for this year. 

Multiple races this year I got the car into the 12.0hs at 115-116 in full True Street trim. That was one goal I had for the year to set the car up to be competitive in NMRA/NMCA True Street 12.00 class. My own driving skills and blower belt issues are the only things that kept me out of the money but still happy to be competing.

I still drive the car to work almost everyday which is 100 miles round trip and I love the  out of it!

But I really wanted that 11 sec pass! So I loaded up and headed to Milan Dragway for one last try.

My biggest thing holding me back this year has been very high intake temps from blower and my Microsquirt pulling timing out starting at 180* temps. I was seeing 200+ degree temps on every pass. So I turned off the MAT Timing Correction and put a bottle of octane booster in fuel. First pass off the trailer I went 11.97 at 114mph!

I made some tire pressure and shock adjustments along with pulling some fuel out since it was runnin rich in the 10.7-11.1 afr range.    I ended up meeting my goals pretty solid!

Best ET of the day was a 11.82 and best MPH was 118.8!

I have been curious where you were. Hard to believe your build was 3 years ago already. I was following along and it was awesome. ! Coyote swap? Can’t wait for the build.
