[vortecd]

Congrats Jon, nice 60' & ET, hauling ass, what was DA & humidity ?

Da around 1300 humidity in the 60% range baro 29.7

 

[vortecd]

DA was suppose to drop all day with the temp but stayed pretty close. Started raining right after my last run so I didn't get actual data but run before was 1050 DA

Think how much faster our cars would be if we didn't have the slow stock airbox

And Jon's slow heavy Recluse wheels ?

I don't know if he has weighed them

 

[Mean Cat]

Awesome guys, yall are killing it !!

 

[Mean Cat]

I don't know if he has weighed them

You don't have to, they are heavier than the RS brackets or D5's.

 

[Mean Cat]

Our DA down here now is 2000 & up & getting worse by the week, might not be doing much racing till later in the year.

My forgestars with M&H fronts are under 35 lbs. My old racestars were 39 lbs

Which forgestars do you have?
Can't tell from the pic as someone's car is blocking the view.🤣

That's a great run Jon and an even better 60'. What did the aircharge look like on that pass?

Jons tuning gets it done.
I put the stock 2.62s back in last weekend. The 3.09s were about a tenth but we are going to add more power so wanted to go back. DA was between 1000-1200 (started to rain after last pass so I didn't get a reading with my Kestrel but run before was 1050 DA) Temps were dropping and DA was getting better, that rarely happens. I was at 4640 LBS. Pretty happy with only e85. My car picks up close to a tenth if I can run back to back which I couldn't today. So if I could have done that, 3.09s and maybe -200 DA would have put me 10.0s if not real close to 9's on stock boost

We're very close across this board on numbers.

F14

 

[DavidKFla]

I run 18" Bravados on the rear and VMS wheels on the front. Budget time.

F14

I think those are a little heavier than the D5's, not much tho, splitting hairs, that's what we do.
But you have the lighter tires in the front.

Aircharge was showing max of 1.73g
Iat still an issue pulling 3.5 degrees

So what you guys are saying that my .500 reaction time is not that good .. and here i thought halt a second was good
@moparjim that ATI damper is worth the money .. it does a much better job at controlling vibrations VS the stock cast piece. I don't trust any stock damper .. I have seen way too many come apart or beat up bearings ,etc in the engine .
The removal of the sway bar cause traction issues .. The front jumps up really quickly then falls right back down just as fast unloading the rear tires .. I have seen this many times . If weight is the concern get the one from the demon that's what I did . 7 lbs VS 20lbs .

I am aware of how the sway bar reacts. Remember I took it out so the car would react slower so I could cut a light while bracket racing. Not for weight reduction or going faster. If you look at the video on my thread from the 10.0 day you can see the car bounce in the front.
As far as weight goes I could save more than that by emptying my console and glove box.😂
2 Saturdays ago if I had put it back in
(I forgot I didn't) and what I am pretty sure what was happening with the gas after what I saw at the end of the day last Saturday. That time would have been more like .05 I'm pretty sure.

I know you are aware of the sway bar I'm just putting some information out there for others.

Now some are aware of a way to adjust reaction times.😂
