Alright boys,
Since the superbowl is ****in bullshit, and its going to be 65 today it is.. guess what that means?
RACE CAR DAYYYYYYYYYY
This turbo build is close to being in the books, drove the car on full boost yesterday and let me tell you.. hooolyyeeeee shitballs!
This thing is a ****in monster! Just using wastegate pressure, the car made 17 pounds of boost at 128% injector duty. We have a little perfect quarter mile spot out here in 'mexico' thats been marked off that we have used for years, and even yesterday in 50 degree weather, with the road pores weeping water, sand and everything else, and blowing off the tires for 300 feet the car trapped what we estimate to be 140+mph in the quarter from a dead launch. That's a 9 second car gentleman.
Now that being said, we did cut the spring a little so that we could dial the boost in. (cant go backwards off of the wastegate spring but my MBC can always get us more if needed) Ended up making about 13 pounds at 90% injector duty cycle, which leaves us plenty of headroom for improvement.
Just a guesstimate its a low 10s, high 9s car at 13 pounds of boost before we start touching any thing. I dont think thats bad for an overweight, iron block/turbo kit/4l80e/9inch/full interior fat ass f body.
Still need to button up minor things like figuring out an air filter that will actually fit, raising the car up on the front about an inch (going to use BMR spring mount inserts) since with the iron block, the turbo kit now up front hanging off the motor, combined with the sam strano springs and this thing is slammed too far. And of course, fine tune on the dyno.
Who else is ready for race car season?!
