interesting day today! found out a few things! so since the Shootout got raine dout, the weather turned for the best up here so went to my home track which had an All Ford event today. I changed nothing on the car form last week. It was COLD out. first pass it was 45 degree's with a DA of -800 feet! figured the track wouldnt be there but as usual, my car surprised me. we had a constant 10-15mph headwind AGAIN today and it showed in my mph. I was running a bracket class for the event
1st pass - left lane
.001 light
1.371
6.35@107.52
10.02@133.41
2nd pass - left lane, I tightned the shocks up front as I thought it was still coming up too fast just to see what would happen.
.007 light
1.371
6.33@107.82
9.99@133.95
same 60' but the car felt ALOT better on the launch. now I had to dial the car in for first round.
3rd pass - right lane
dial in - 9.98
-.021 light (RED LIGHT!)
1.373
6.33@107.91
9.98@133.76......CRAP!!!! I got trigger happy
so back at the trailer I swapped on the 2.76 upper pulley to try out. now this is VERY interesting. first pass with it I loaded up my stock 16psi tune because I didnt know where the a/f would be
4th pass - right lane
1.378
6.35@107.66
10.02@132.69
a/f was 11.3-11.4 and timing was 23 degree's. I adjusted the tune accordingly from here to 11.7-11.8 and even upped the timing to 24 degree's just like I did with the 2.93 / 4# combo
5th pass - left lane
1.369
6.33@107.90
9.99@133.32
now even though we had a small headwind, this in my mind confirms that anything over my 2.93/4# boost combo is a waste on MY CAR. i shifted dead on, my 60' was the best one but the car still ran the same number. there was minimal belt slip as I cleaned the hood before the pass and there were a couple specs on it after the pass.
a pretty awesome day for the car though.
60's
1.37
1.37
1.37
1.37
1.36
and ET's
10.02
9.99
9.98
10.02
9.99
ran within .04 all day.....Im amazed.
also...the DA seems to have NO EFFECT on my car. Im thinking with the super low IAT2's the car is just always running at optimal conditions. It always thinks it cold out.
