I am not taking my POS out until the Copperstate and Jennabears shows are done. I had enough carnage for the year.

Pantene, at the rate you are going this year, there is only one things left...

[BurnTire]

You are correct. The first time I had nitrous on Louise was at the 2nd Texas Mach1/Bullit Shootout. I won the Quickest Any Thing Goes Class for the Mach1 side.
Here's a launch from that day.

What the heck is that starter doing

Motor is doing fine!

[IMSHAKN]

Just saying...you've effectively eliminated a number of your problems. There's only one more major thing to go KABOOM. Then you could rename yourself bentmotor.


*Only kidding, that's not something I'd like to see happen. That would be pretty shitty.

LOL. It will hold up with that custom burntire tune.

[IMSHAKN]

Yeah, but all of that burntire work has ended in some slight setbacks as of late...

No work. Just installing parts. I have a ton of hours into the tune. I am obsessed with perfection on the tune.

[IMSHAKN]

Nice.

you might have run a 11.69 but not at that mph end of story. There is no way a 300 rwhp 3440lb car trapped 115 end of story. Slicks on a dyno are good for maybe 10rwhp. Where are the other 30-40rwhp ? The examples were there to show you about what hp is needed for what et's. i dont know how to dial in suspensions its overrated. shit your n/a mach mph is the same as torched's mach on a 100 shot .

I know you're young and not very experienced in this world and the world of drag racing, but I'm gonna hold a little short course and try to boost your level of education.
First off, if you only learn one thing from this thread, let this fact burn into your young brain:
DYNOS ARE ONLY A TUNING TOOL!
YOU DO NOT RACE ON A DYNO!
Read that several times so that it sinks in.

I know that the youth of today tend not to look beyond what's directly in front of them. You need to develop your your powers of observation, deduction and reasoning. If you had followed that link and noted the time of year the run was made, you could have figured out the time of year the "297 dyno run" was performed. In order to lend some sort of continuity and comparability to dyno figures, there are correction factors. The vast majority of people post SAE figures. This is what I posted. If you had looked past the web page and noted the time of year, your young brain should have instantly realized that the dyno figures will be corrected DOWN due to the cold dry air of December. This would mean that ACTUAL HP FIGURES are quite a bit higher.
In a reply to Jeff, I used the term "mineshaft day". This refers to the the quality of the air. This should have rang a little bell in your head and made the gears start to spin quite rapidly. Many records are set on days such as these. Back in the day of carburetors , you'd have to go up quite a few jet sizes to compensate for the increased quality of air.
What it all boils down to, is that on days with mineshaft air, your engine will produce more ACTUAL horsepower AND YOUR CAR WILL RUN A QUICKER ET, if the track will hook or you can adjust your launch to the colder track conditions.
Like I said in an earlier post, always feel free to come up to me at the track. Unless I'm deep into competition, I'll be glad to try and answer any of your questions or to help you out if I can.

I'll see ya later. I'm gonna go work on my Sullivan intake so I can finally install it on my engine Monday. Have a great day!!!!!
