Well it was cool out tonight so i slapped on the MT's and took the srt to the 1/8 mile. It took a while to get her to hook but on my last run i got a 7.872@88.16 with a 1.834 60 ft. Now i have trapped 89-90 on a similar day with similar 60 ft. For some reason today the car was hesitating at the top of second gear. It feels like its hitting the limiter, stumbles, and then shifts. This happens at around 6100. Does this sound like a lean issue or am i just hitting the limiter? It has done this a few times in the past but today it did it on every run, causing my crappy trap speed. In first gear with traction the engine revs to 6200 with no problems.

I feel like the car has a 7.7 in it as it sits. Too bad this will probably be my last opportunity for this year to get a good time. And yes i know, i need a wideband. But id figure id describe the symptoms to see if this sounds similar to what others have experienced.

 

Do you have the tcu tune? that was causing my car to do the same thing when I had that done.

 

let me know whenever u are going to county line,, I will meet you there,, two weeks ago I ran a 7.1@ 102 in the 1/8 ,,, the printer was not working, so they just told me the time,,, will have to wait til next trip to a track to prove it. jim

 

No Tcu tune. I will try some racegas to see if that helps. And maybe ask Eurocharged if they can lower the rev limit in second gear. Jim, I have never been to Countyline. Do they enforce the helmet policy for cars under 8.59. Homestead speedway does not so thats why i go there.

 

I always ware my helmet so i don't know if they in force the helmet rule, but i will find out and let u know jim
