going to SW to retest the bottle

[Indy]

I'm heading to SW around 6:30pm to retest the bottle tonight. After having the soleniod fail last weekend on the first pass I'm lucky I didn't hurt the motor. So we replaced the soleniods and plugs this week, then retested it on the dyno. Everything looks good, it made @ 360hp & 460ftlb today, I'm hoping to hit the low 12's tonight.

good luck man! i was gonna head out, but after a long ass day of dealing with crappy i-17 traffic, and shooting at table mesa road, i am cooked. let us know how it goes!!

Well do to me being a :beatup: dumb@$$, I thought I toasted the motor last night. They staged me with a full on race car:furious: that was so loud I couldn't hear or feel what my Mach was doing. Being a IDIOT I sprayed it against him when I should have just run on the motor and sprayed it on the next pass. During that run something went wrong and I thought the motor was history, so I had it trailered (thanks Seth and everyone else who helped) to the shop. I changed the plugs and Devin checked the cylinder with a bore scope everything looks good:thmbsup: . Devin took it for a test drive and said that it runs like a bat out of hell on the motor. So once again I was very lucky:yes: . I'm going to change a few thing in the car, then head to the track and try it again. On the first pass I went 12.8@98mph letting off a couple hundred feet early. On the next pass it went 12.7@112 spinning badly, I think it'll run pretty good once I can make it hook.

what did it do that made you feel like it let go? mark had posted that a mach lost a motor on the bottle, and the first thing i said was...oh my. i hope its not a black mach 1. glad to hear its ok though, sounds like one scary night....allmost makes me glad i stayed my lazy arse at the house and tinkered on the cobra...

Yeah he was more then likely talking about me. When we put it on the trailer it didn't sound good. But it looks like I might be lucky, I'll know more after a coulpe days of driving.

Instead of the bottle, why don't you look into a supercharger? It seems that you are pushing the limits on mistakes with the bottle?

The bottle works great, its the loose nut behind the wheel that needs work. Besides I cann't afford a blower, the bottle was a bonus from work. I'm happy with it, I just need to relax and concentrate on what I'm doing when I use it. I shouldn't have used it during that race, but I was trying to get a good number. I didn't know how many more runs I could get in before the track closed so I said screw it and hit the unit. Next time I'll wait for next pass.

I'll go turbo someday. Just not on the cobra. It will be a Fox body race car. As soon as I can move back east and have a big garage again. LOL

[AZSonicSnake]

there are plenty of big garages here, and even better weather. :bounce:
