Default no surprises

Went to a local rental and there were no surprises with me and the way the 98 A4 (old farts club) H/C/I was running. Hitting the rollers maybe next week to see if there are any gains for the fall air.

I can't seem to catch good air even though I've tried. This was a normal October day at Atco with a DA between 1,300 - 1,600.

slips and video attached for motivation to you folks getting ready for the next rental

thanks for the props guys

think I found my problem with the new converter ... before it wasn't pulling after the 1,000 foot mark, now it's pulling to the traps
The fins were shot when taken apart.

Would like to see some good air after hitting the rollers later this week.

Any guesses on DYNO numbers?

my guess 425 rwhp (mustang)

"Down" as in getting back to Atco. I consider Atco as my home track although I am much closer to Etown. I have been down there quite a few times lately.

This Fall I would like to 'Get Down" and chase some good air at Atco and see if I can run a better ET with the car. Looking for rentals ... May even be interested in that MIR run if things work out. This fall is the year and I think it's "ready"

Dyno pull from last night. The first time this car combo has been on one - I picked up a few rwhp should have put the 3" X-pipe back on, I am running this through the cats right now ...



My 2 cars matched up well together in hp

If you have room on the 23rd, I am off from work that day already

(new converter looks like I flashes at 5,200) - Picked up about (8) rwhp, making it (1) more then the 04 (Marshal's) car would like to check shift points at the track

I picked up 6 hp with the vacuum pump - the second pull had gained 2 hp and seemed maxed out, thinking the bottleneck was in the FAST 92 but then he found a leak at the vacuum pump when he dialed it in, ending with the 435 rwhp.
- gain from pump about 6
