jnjdragracing Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Well we went to the Dyno today and made 8 pulls. 1st pull pushing water out of radiator but no oil leaks, 2nd pull played with timimg, and 3rd pull same. Still pushing water out of radiator, oh well what the hell, it seem to stop on the rest of the pulls but power was down. Learned alot as usual, did not break anything major so far we think. We might not be running our best due to the weather, blowers like cool weather but we will try our best as usual to put on a good show. So we will be attending SEZ#7. Here is a 27 meg. video of the first pass, 56k beware. www.jnjdragracing.com/0819/dyno0906.mpg Can not comment to much because of our match race, I guess we will just have to let the et's tell all.

rytherwr Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hey, Uncle John....I wouldn't detect a vortex that would suck in some unsuspecting prey, would I? ) This will be fun to watch.... Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnjdragracing Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 nah, no vortex..... Just some hard work and lessons to be learned. SEZ should be fun, with a lot more faster Zcars. We just hope we can put on a good show for everyone. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnjdragracing Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Actually the 1st dyno pass was really our best time. From there it went down hill, but we got it back. It is a secret...... shhhh umm....first idle pass????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rytherwr Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Good to go! I can relate to the hard work/lessons learned part....I'm still thrashing and it's two days away.....got the front end aligned and found out the rear is cocked about 5/8th of an inch...I will twitch it back (four links are great, eh?) and should be good to go. Nothing on the car was square to plumb from so it came out pretty good, all things considered. Sure looks like there are going to be some hot ones there...hope the weather holds...
