Midnight 85

Well now that you are posting here again how about telling me why you would not answer any of my requests for help on the tune you did for me?

_ski_dwn_it

60ft times in the 1.28 to 1.30 range..On this run it was 1.41, but with the rear wheels. ran 10.2 On and off the gas to get it back down.

Midnight, please resend your request sorry I missed it.

Build details?

_ski_dwn_it

434, 227 m2 race system heads, 11.5:1, my solid axle conversion kit. It's actually pretty mild set-up. Just works very well. The car is a full weight, actually heavier with dart block and 12 bolt rear.

Strictly a track car?

Nope swap tires and put on exhaust and drive it all day.

You missed it 3 different times over more than a year???
I'm done with this thread, I've proved my point.

Huh?

Are we missing something?

..... I'm thinking that you might want to re-check the geometry of your rear suspension . Pulling wheelies like that may seem entertaining but they are dangerous to your opponent and anyone near the track and potentially very damaging to the car upon landing . It is obviously the result of YOUR live axle installation .

Yes you are. Do a search of the name. Look in the drag section as well. If you cant find them, send me a pm and I will send you some links.

Thank You!
To you others who are confused please read my first post in this thread, it is directed to Ski, not everybody in general. Believe me, he knows what I am talking about.

Midnight if you need assistance with something please reiterate it with me via email or call. My apologizes if I may have missed something. I'm not perfect.

To the gentleman that commented on the suspension settings. I agree, haha, I upgraded my anti roll to a real one instead of the original anti roll. The main reason was not because the original did not work but rather I had a five hundred dollar one sitting on the shelf that I ran in the chevelle for a season and it looked like a neat challenge to install it. Two runs within .0001 in the 60ft after tightening up the front to keep it down...so I'm happy with my decision to put it in. Was a fun project for my son's and I that I let them have input to with some guidance.

As for what else is missing from here...about 8 guys that back in the day were and still are the front runners with innovation and results for these cars that got tired of Nay Sayers and other ridicule. Now we all associate off site which is a real shame for those that listened. I still come back from time to time and it's not as exciting and innovative as it once was. I see posts like can a single plane be put in one of these cars. Jeb and I did this 9 years ago and I still run one. Furthermore I could duplicate / give specs to anyone needing help. At least 10 cars run our setup we shipped back and forth across the US at least ten times to get right. Never once did we get upset with each other abd kept forging forward. I will bet the first one had 50 man hours and 4k dollars tied up in it. It's what it takes sometimes. To further illustrate, some of these missing guys setups were the best running cars naturally aspirated on the site..unfortunately everyone got tired of the same thing and went underground. It's still good since we still get emails and other inquiries about what works and doesn't from those that know. What is a shame is all that knowledge and know how is not available anymore for those to learn from and feed off and save big money not making mistakes.

In the end it's a shame because unfortunately we don't have c6s that have performance option after performance option and we have/had to design and build our own.

I read your comment on single plane with interest,
do you have any feedback in relation to my thread on the subject ?
I would be particularly interested in any knowledge you have on plenum volume etc ?

ch@0s

Did you put valve springs under the front tires?

where have you been?

Edit: I just read your last post, welcome back.
