Every time you post any pictures of that car I get just a little more jealous. That is just a really sweet looking ride!
By the way, how much is the fuel you are burning though there costing you a gallon? If you don't mind me asking. I'm just curious. If you do mind, just tell me to get bent, that's cool too.
gas was 9.50 a gallon burning about 0.5-0.75 gallons per pass (from pit, making pass, return to pit)
Right now we go from pit to lanes on gas, switch over to alcohol, and come back leaned out on alcohol, and we're using about 1.25 gals or so @ 2.80 a gal.
Made 4 passes on exactly 5 gallons of alchohol and half a gallon of gas.
First pass..lets just say that $25 bet I had with a friend (who wouldnt bet against me)..we were both valid. First 1.8 seconds wasn't bad, but from the shift on out was nothing but tire spin.
Made a massive shock adjustment and changed launch chip from 5000 rpm to 4000 rpm, and went 5.58, 5.57, 5.56 all in a row. Previous best on Gas was a 5.63 way back in march. The air we had tonight, might have been 5.69-5.72ish on gas.
Red line is engine RPM, blue wavy line is driveshaft RPM, purple rough line is engine vacuum.
I honestly think we need a slightly bigger wicker bill- just a touch more angle, maybe a slightly longer wicker. It has a 3/4" x 45-60 degree wicker now, need more like a 75 degree of same length or even 1".
The camera picture is of our second run. The photog took a picture of his camera screen and texted it to me.
The conditions for the 5.567 pass were 70 degrees F air temp, 39% humidity, 33.7 water grains per cubic meter, density altitude ~ 1300 feet.
