What the heck did I do here ??? Comments please
OK OK got the C to the local Manassas track and did some runs on a 75-80 degree day 5:30 till 8PM. Iam not much of a drag racer and had a handful trying to get down the track. Getting it to launch was a bittorch. I had a pair of 275 / 18s slicks on the rear and the track takeoff area was sticky to me.
I could not power brake for over 1500 rpm the car slid thru the lights more than once and I had to break my concentration to BACK_UP….aaargue. The car slid on take off as the slicks broke traction bunches, tried to pedal and all that but it had too too much grunt for the track.
So drag racers, what can you tell about the power and response of the car from the numbers?? Can you get any insight on the way the car ran, hope so.
I will be trying to get some time to get to the dyno, if we get any cooler weather so I can get time from work. That will be the final test of my new induction system design, more to follow.
