Perfect conditions, no crowd, car was ready to go, but there seemed to be a problem with the TCU tune. My shifts took a second or two at times, making the crowd think I'd missed a gear. Hopefully this is a simple TCU revision away, as I know the tranny can take the power since Daithi had a couple hundred passes on his with a larger 150 shot without a single slip.

Anyway, with the dark cloud of running slow was a silver lining of lowering my best 60 foot a little to a 1.56! The launch was so brutle it felt as though the tires were lifting a little (but of course they weren't). Yes, I believe that is the best 60' for any Crossfire, including the mightly V8.

Here's some photos of the day along with my slips. No videos, as I was at the track alone.

yes sir, you are now stretching that suspension out in the front....love it...let me know what's up w/ the TCU tune, since I am headed that way.... The weather had to be cool down there as well...wasn't too cool was it...

 

Those are consistent runs. looks like you have the self pit crew thing down pretty good.

 

Anthony you were literally the only one there.

 

LOL - Is that seriously what you took from this.


At first I was, but a few dozen people eventually showed up. It was a ghost town though for a while.

 

It's finally getting it done on the 60 foot. I'm working with Rudy to the get the tune worked out for some better numbers next year.

 

I just texted with Rudy and the next course of action will be changing the tranny fluid and filter. I might send the tranny fluid to Blackstone Labs with my oil this time around, that is if they test it also.

 

The slip on the far right the last run by chance?
Looks like a low bottle pressure run compared to the others....

 

one more time

 

That was my last run, but I had adjusted the window switch and really limited the time the nitrous was on, having it shut off at 4,500 RPM's. I made the changes to see if the tranny would shift any quicker, but it didn't help. The bottle was full at the start of the day, so I don't think the nitrous was low. I should weigh it tomorrow to confirm. Either way, all the runs were SLOW. All of them should have been 10.9's-11.1's at 125-128mph.

 

Thanks for the feedback.

 

Do you plan on giving nitrous a shot?

 

Absolutely. Still ironing out the details in my head, but im pretty sure I have a solid idea of what I will be doing. I'd like to bounce some of it off you sometime.

 

Cool. Shoot me a PM with your number and I'll do the same.
