Ran the car FINALLY! Not 10's YET but close! Vid inside!
Well I took my car to Fayetteville Motorsports Park In North Carolina, THIS TRACK IS FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It may not be the best hooking track but it is a GOOD TIME! Best time of the day was a 11.2@132mph, tht run I bogged going into 2nd gear bad then instead of using the Autmoeter shift light set for 9400 rpm shift I saw the Hondata Shift light/Check engine light kick on at 7800 and shifted, oce I am sure of on that run possibly twice actually, The vid where I ran that time is against the Black C5 Corvette spraying. That run also blew the brake booster hose off the back of the mani so I had lost boost and had NO BRAKES at the end of the track and missed the VERY LAST turn off and had to downshift and use my parking brake to slow down. WHEW! First two runs were LOW boost and 12.0s. My MPH from the 1/8 to the 1/4 on all runs varied from gaining 35-38mph. So 10's are in it, WOULD'VE SHOULD'VE COULD'VE but didn't! Bleh! I want to run the car again on a better prepped track and get the car dialed in, I DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR LIKE I SHOULD HAVE yesterday! Pretty decent vid here

60 ft.....1.7777
330 ft...4.9531
1/8.......7.4523
mph......102.15
1000ft...9.5494
1/4........11.2734
mph.......132.19
I will admit that 616whp is ALOT and hard to control! I probably would have ran faster by turning the boost down to about 20-23psi and made about 500-540whp os so. My opinion at least. The last run if you notice the top end it revved then lost and then revved, It is either the clutch slipping or the tires just breaking off up top, the track got cold at 5:00 bad. Others who were ther said it was definately the slicks breaking loose up top. MAX_CFM Brad Z and Howard and Roger Shoaf from RLZ Engineering were all there as well as some other NC board members . Any critique? It's my first time out in almost two years.
