BACKED UPPED AND IMPROVED ON THE 10.9 RUN
we went to pittsburgh raceway park today for some test and tuning
the da for the day was bettween +900ft---+1100ft it was a colder day than two weeks ago at mason dixon but the da wasnt as good first run off of the trailer it went a 11.003 at 124.05 mph and she was a little lean sothe next run i upped the prssure to 42 psi and was rewarded with
60 1.468
330 4.411
660 6.921
mph 97.19
1000 9.113
1320 10.948....new best et
mph 124.60
now on this run wasnt my best 60 ft or 1/8 et but the top end charge was probally was right on the money and we had about a 15-20 mph headwind all day too and alll of the other 4 runs were all between 10.94-10.97 on every run
i think on a good day at a fast track a high 10.8s are possible
the one goal i did not get this year is 100 mph in the 1/8 we will keep trying tho untill tomorow for some bracket action the only down side is ill be trying to work on my rt so i might not get any better et tommorow we will see

Good job dude!
:cry :cry :cry :cry :cry I an sitting here in pieces. :cry :cry :cry :cry
Got the carrier apart today finally. Got the parts you sent me. Just have to get a new carrier(thanks Jeb), put it back together with the new converter and hopefully be there with you next weekend for some good ETs!
Then hopefully Jeb get me that intake in time for the following week. So all tests will be on equal ground.
God I hate missing good weather......DAMN DAMN DAMN :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :cry :cry

Corky,
If you were building/selling those 406 motors, I certainly would be buying one. Everytime you post track results I am just astounded at the level of performance your setup pumps out…Jesse’s too for that matter.
Great setup !!

Re: BACKED UPPED AND IMPROVED ON THE 10.9 RUN (ski_dwn_it)
First I must say that with 373 rwhp those are AWESOME times. I race at basically sea level and I have never seen times even close too those with comparable HP. I rarely see times 1 second slower with those HP levels. I sure would like too see that thing gettin it!!!! I am puttin down a SOTP 360hp and only run low 12's with DR's. My hat is off to you guys!!!!
