Well I'm not going to spoil it for Scott, but all I'll say is that he's considerably faster than before.

Re: Darkhorizon + a budget more than a hamburger =
All I can really say is 10 something at 130something, ish sorta. There are TONS of vids that I will be collecting over the next few days. Quite a few fanboys there supporting me. I have 4 angles of the 10 something run.
I blew a radiator hose on my second full pull. Was sorta hoping to make it to the end on that one.. was the last pass of the day if I blew or not.

Re: Darkhorizon + a budget more than a hamburger =
you spraying it or no?
Also did you ever dyno it? I was in Michigan last weekend right near Milan too. Why couldn't you have gone last week?
Congrats on a new personal best.

Re: Darkhorizon + a budget more than a hamburger =
no dyno, no spray. 60ft was one of my slowest ever.... brakes, tune, driver mod... all probably need some work to get the 60 down. Spray and antilag will help, I was not banking on 60ft'ing it hard, was there for the backhalf.
Never got to get a full run in on max boost either, setup has alot of room left.

Re: Darkhorizon + a budget more than a hamburger =
Any info on that hose blowing off? Was it a front/rear and was it a spring clamp or a gear clamp holding it on? Just wondering why it would have popped off....

Re: Darkhorizon + a budget more than a hamburger =
yea I am wondering if a headgasket is letting go, thus pressurizing the cooling system to a point of blowing a hose. Lets just hope it was a loose clamp though considering everything was just installed in a rush, and this was nothing more then a simple oversight of under tightening a clamp.
Also saw that you went to Norwalk. Thats a good track, and a pretty fast one in my opinion. Thats where I used to go and run.

That wasn't Norwalk. It was US131 in Martin, MI.
Since his coolant disaster caused the track to close right as I was getting ready to make a run, I'm putting up the video of the blow up

Looks like DRV rear blew off so I am going to guess installer error........

Re: Darkhorizon + a budget more than a hamburger =
Neither, it was a old fiero clamp that probably had 3 threads showing past the nut. I easily slid the hose and clamp back on. I forgot to tighten it after filling the coolant.Jinxmutt wrote:Any info on that hose blowing off? Was it a front/rear and was it a spring clamp or a gear clamp holding it on?

Re: Darkhorizon + a budget more than a hamburger =
I have the timeslip somewhere, but it was a better 60ft than the fastest time I had, and i was running a solid psi or 2 more than the fastest time I had as well.alltrbo wrote:So what was the E.T. and trap on that blown-hose run?

Re: Darkhorizon + a budget more than a hamburger =
it looked like on the blown run that the time was a 14.6 at 61mph. Letting off at the 300 ft mark still netted a faster time then Fierofreds sbc v8 swap. More proof that the 3800 swap, at this point in time, is the ideal swap to make a lot of power and go fast while keeping it relatively cheap.

Re: Darkhorizon + a budget more than a hamburger =
the log said 85mph when the tires lit up in second gear and I noticed this happening, and I trap 112 in the 1/8, so yea probably ran a 14 coasting from the ~400ft mark. I turned the key off before I hit the 1/4 mile.
