72POS Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 we enjoyed ourselves as normal. yuo guys (gals) are a Great bunch to go to the track with. The starting line was in wonderful shape, but IMO from about 150 feet on out, the track didnt seem to want to hold my piece of shit. Personally only made 2 runs down the track. the first pass the car left good with the front wheels up about 2 feet, but when i shifted into 3 rd gear (before the 1/8 the car was loose) I aborted that pass. the 2nd time up, the car did a HUGE wheelstand witht he front wheels up about 4 feet, ya no shit, the wheels came up over the wall and then some, Guess i panicked and it came down hard, that pass also aborted.. was very disapointed the track didnt bother to clean up all the OIL that was down up by the tower for the left lane side. It apeared to me it was just getting worse as time went by, it was being drug all over the place, and persoanlly a low 9 sec. car and oil on the tires doesnt mix. So that is when i decided that was enough for the day.. this was our first time out with the piece of shit this year, all in all a good first outing i guess,, just need to get ride of the spring in the wheely bars so it doesnt do any more 4 foot wheelies. freshend the engine over the winter and we found a extra 30 horse from last year. againe we had a Great time, thats for the get togther!

clone Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Best run in the Cuda trying to sort out the new drive train. Left soft the car should 60 ft high 1.3 to low 1.4 short shifted the engine by acouple hundred RPM I might have to put a transbrake in. It's really a lot harder to foot brake with 4 wheel disk brakes. The hardest run I didn't get a time as left before the tree was activated. I changed the 2 step and the car began to roll and I pushed the brake so hard my calf cramp up and I just left instead of waiting 60 ft 1.508 ET 10.354 MPH 131.43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtbolt64 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 ^^^ Cuda looked good! Disapointing day for myself. 1st run after many changes I just wanted to see how the car was going to go strait so I left off before the 1/8th Second run tried transbrake and blew the tires off the line 3rd run changed suspension and car felt like a boat anchor attatched to it. 4th run, tightened belt and changed launch rpm and eneded with a 10.80 at 130 still feeling like a boat anchor was attatched. Car is over a second and 14 mph down from last year. Back to the drawing board and head back up this friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98fiveseven1647545503 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Thats cus the other 600's were all stock height and not strapped in the front.... my best. Car: 1.8 60' 12.12 @ 117, all motor. Bike: 11.3 @121 2.0 60' True that, and I finally learned my bike some more pretty much the 2nd actual time at a track with the new bike first pass was 11.6@125 2.18 60' Last pass was 11.361@127mph 2.11 60' Still gotta get my launch down and that will be from learning the bike and being less of a pussy on the launch but lots of thanks to Jeremy and Daniel who helped me dial in the bike and myself now its time to get a strap so I can spank the other Paul all the way down the track just not catch him at the 1000ft mark all though it made it more fun for me good times guys!!!

MrMeanGreen Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 After putting the car on a Mustang Dyno today, the results as follows: The car was running rich under load, like 10:1 The car was getting false knock on the top end thanks to the heat, which is now resolved My belt was slipping The kicker: The car drops power like a rock over 6k RPMs. My converter is slipping badly over 6k and chattering between 4k-6k. I'm looking at ditching this POS TCI that is less than a year old and going with something that will hold the power. Still went 10.91, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fast2gfwd Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 i think pro tourque is starting do do great things with there converter have a few buddies running them and there holding tourque great, they can build whatever stall you want and even build a nice nitrous or turbo converter for a good price.

gillbot Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I love my yank. Great converters! I ran a bunch of 11.9's and 12.0's. Had a couple of 12.5's when the car fell on it's face after launch and I have no idea why. Car was WAY down on MPH also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every pass wasa 2.0 with a couple 2.1's. I need to learn to launch the car. First time dragging this car and its been a LONG time since Ive dragged anything AWD.

MrMeanGreen Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 If it's any consolation Dave, my car made 494rwhp today explaining why I was only trapping 119-121. The car shifts at 6900, but was peaking at 6000 due to my converter crapping out. I still went 10.91 w/ 1.67 60' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
