cygnusx1 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 You picked some great weather to run in! High pressures and relatively cool air make for some nice times. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-Gad Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hi Clint, been watching your progress as well... Looking awesome I've made a handfull of test passes w/ the new rear end upgrade, but was having problems getting the 88mm turbo to stay spooled... it appears that I was getting compressor surge and ended up going back to the 76mm turbo. I don't know if I will have anyone to shoot video tonight, but I'll see what I can do. I am just looking at getting some base numbers in the different air and get the meth kit dialed in at higher boost levels (30+ psi). The weather looks awesome though... should be in the high 60's, low 70's and dry ... The car did put on 100 lbs with the R230 and the parachute mount. I now weigh in at 2850 w/ driver, up from the 2750 before. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orklc Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Good luck Mike. Keep in mind that you are on a new track, no one really knows what your car can do..... get my drift.... anyway if you get too fast tonight you may be required the window net ASAP. I am sure you are looking for an excuse to get the net justified so go ahead and get kicked out.. Just kidding.... Hope you have a great outing... Keep us up to date. Are you coming down for the word street finals in Orlando? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-Gad Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Crappy night for me... Tech was strict for a t-n-t night My competition license expired 2 months ago, so I was limited to 10.0 times. I had the relay for my nitrous kit fail, so I couldn't build boost at the line. I would drive out to the 330' mark before the car would wake up... All and all, just a frustrating night... I'll get everything sorted out and be ready next time.

Z-Gad Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Oh, and got pulled over by the local police on my way back from the track in the small town I moved back to.. Wasn't doing anything wrong, but they just wanted to see my license, registration, and proof of insurance... again frustrating... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboHLS30 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Dang that sucks are they more strict than OSW????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Oh yea, they checked the date in my helmet, my fire suit (need a new one of those as well), and my license ofcourse... OSW was lenient in comparison... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboHLS30 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Wow that sucks you know that now when you go to OSW you can get a whole bunch of passes compared to the 1 or 2 before because they opened up a new 1/8 mile track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
