Had a nice Sunday and got in a few runs to break in the new motor. No ET new bests but some 1/8 (99.27) and 1/4 mile mph bests (125.66). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA0CNlu5B88 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq4dpN0WQg0 and new fuel door painted black. sorry slips hard to read.
Congrats George, yeah looked like the jeep did a little bucking and nose diving on that second vid no telling what it could of ran on a clean pass.
yes that was me lifting. looked at the vids and really think that I will benefit from some springs to flatten some of the rear loading that's going on. I had 42 psi in the tires and took some out (duh) and had taken some fuel out b/c was pretty rich - like 10.8s. this was my second pass after that. Still some spin, but that mph is climbing. Would really like to get a 10.xx before anything else gets changed, like say, more than 8psi. short times had a few 1.7s and some 1.9s. prep, there's sticky stuff, but its not perfect. Car with giant slicks next to me in first video clipped off a 1.50 60 ft, so its not terrible. Still spinning some, but I like it because its the closest to the house and all highway driving and the announcer is fun to listen to and he likes my jeep. Fun track to run at. Everyone's friendly. No bullshit in the staging or delays because of 2 wheelers hosing oil.
10/4...once my life settles back down a bit, i'de like to make a trip with you. Right now, i'm in the middle of buying/selling homes, plus other shit...But 10.xx's is definitely possible with your MPH with a 1.6x 60'...plus if you lean it up a tad more, you should get a few more MPH. Isn't 11.5 AFR optimal for blower application? Fuel door looks pimp...Maybe some stainless hardware??? Just a thought.
that's the thought. I am running same time as my pb prior to work, but at richer fuel. not leaned to 11.4-5 yet. I like that the power level and speed are moving up. The fuel door was chrome from mopar site, but didn't like the way it looked on the nearly black jeep, so had it paint matched. Definitely the right choice. Baby steps on this, expect some progress. Nice that I hotlapped it some and it is doing fine. Work never done, and neither is the fun.
You ought to do what I do when I am staging I go back in forth in the sticky until when I hit a quick WOT it doesnt spin, the track I go to are used to it by now and sorta expect me to go forward, back up, repeat etc..IDK just a thought.
