well, I made it to the track... I got up at 6 am waited for it to start getting light out, got a 5 gallon can full of premium, put 3 or so gallons in and took it for a spin, it was bogging as bad as ever and it seemed to be shifting o.k. into 3rd when it would go (I need a chack alve for the transmisison line) and so yea I got it on the trailor and we left kinda late because my dad forgot we were going and had to do some errands and we leave... after an hour and a half we arrive I drive the car off the trailor well at least attempt to and felt the wheel jerk... so my dad who was "guiding me off" forgot to mention there was a rod for the back gates stickign out... and there went the sidewall of the tire... and of coarse noone has a 14" tire they would sell to us, and noone had a 4.5" bolt pattern four lug rim, but we got the announcer to ask over the intercom and noone came forward so somone suggested buing one at a local walmart 15 miles away so I left withth e rim and tire got there waited in a huge line (who knew the tire lube express crap would be so busy... doesnt anyone do their own maintanance anymore?!?!) and I get up there and told em I needed the cheapes 195/75 14" tire used if at all possible, they dont give/sell used tires so I ahd to buy a new one and the mounted it and I left a good hour to an hour and a half later... I was not happy, so I get to the track put it on and line up... the line wasnt too bad but anywho I got to race my first victum... or what was supposed to be an all out beat down... so I get to the staging lanes and go around the burnout box and start to brake torque... the look on peoples faces was priceless... you could hear it stumble then it woudl start to spool and get kinda loud then it would break the tire loose and the spooling would get really loud and I would let off the brake and roll forward... I got A TON of comliments and had 2 people ask me if it was a 351... lol so ya get lined up and decided I would make sur eit woul make it down the track so I gave it some gas while holding the brake so it was making 0 vacuum/boost and light turns I take off and ease onto it then floor it... I took off decently no tire spin and watched as the civic I was racing get further and further behind then I short shited 2nd and got to around 60 and I hear some loud clunking rattling tapping sorta noises and let off, tried shifting in to theird when it went in I gave it more gas and it started again, and I just cruised to the end... I ran 1 16.6 at 65 ph, 1/8th mile trap speed was 70... lol and I still beat the civic by quite a bit... so I thought I broke something... opened the hood and found nothing wrong, I drove it to the staging lanes and retarded the timing a tad and hoped it didnt happen again the 60 foot was 2.7 lol so I go again knowing I can possibly build boost without tire spin, I gave it a litle more gas (I didnt have the tach) and got it to around 1-2psi, ran a 16.3, it still wasnt wanting to shift into 3rd you would have to let off it woudl go then you coudl et back on it. I knew 15's were possible. next run held through 1'st and 2'nd gear longer, still not anytihng more on the line ran a 16.020. next run a little later and ran a 16.011 still slightly improving, now I started worrying about getting off the line a little more but it would still bog and act liek it was leaning out then it would put you in the seat and the front would raise up a bit and take off. The next runs were between 5-7 psi on the line, I went and it felt pretty good still stumblign off the line and it ran a 15.997 60' was 2.449 and trap speed was 83. The best run I made was at 7 or so psi and I ran a 15.840. I know if I coudl get it to run right it would be closer to a 14 as it wouldnt like to go and not having a tach didnt help. I figured out the noises was actually the fender moving and hitting the bottom of the car (the bottom bolt wasnt in) overall I said my goal was 15's and I know it could do better the tire had alot of air out and never spun so I know if it did spool higher it would have done better. anyone think the bogging trying to get going could be low fuel pressure? it acts retarded until it starts spooling, I think (it was awhile ago) That the pressure at idle was 3 or 4 psi and under boost went to 13 or 14. the car only ran good once, no matter what I do with the float or timing it always does that. either way I have the carter pump thats gonna be here monday so we'll see what happens... and I didnt get a video... Ill be sure to do one of it roasting the tires rolling like people requested, and maybe one when it leaves strips going into 2nd, but yea Im tired and am prolly gonna take a nap... soo anyone have a suggestion as to what I shoudl do next? oh and by the end if you ran through 2nd long enough it shifted into 3rd fine.
