Title: First drive in my altered!
Post by: Dunc the Funk on September 22, 2021, 05:04:29 AM

On Friday I finally elbowed my driver out of my car & did a launch, a half pass then more-or-less a full pass. I'd tuned the car down a bit, blower 3% under instead of 3% over, 25 degrees of timing instead of 35, lot of rear wing. Even so I got a 1.15 60' & 5.45 to the 1/8th. 1/4 ET was 8.99, slowing to 122 as I groped for the parachute lever. What an awesome experience! I knew the acceleration would be brutal but didn't know it would feel so good!

I can't add any pictures as this seems to stop the topic from being created (tried 3 different browsers on 2 pcs).

Next day the driver is back in the seat for our races, I tuned it to 2 more pbs, 7.52 then 7.50. We were hoping to get into the 7.4s but the speed was not good, we think the valve springs are getting tired.
