Ended with 25psi and 21.5 degrees of timing. Made 826whp. Going to pick up some ignite red to help it live here per tuners recommendation. Based on fuel consumption. It would be right around 1400 crank hp

We had issues such as, tps sensor failing, co2 pressure being too high(needed to make a shift on this m&m), so I'll be adding the second co2 bottle regulated down to 80psi for boost control alone, and blowing through the converter lastly

Do you have a dump valve on the converter charger pressure and/or a line restictor?

No I dont. I know I should at least check it and add one if needed to not wreck the thrust bearing

Any new videos of it?

Here's the last pull on the dyno. Track should be this weekend. I'm not looking to make it into the 5s. Its 100 degrees here this week

Oooo, sounds so good!

Got the 5lb co2 bottle mount from Carter motorsports. Fit my bottle, moved them both so they're a lot easier to access and I wont forget to turn them on this way.

Gonna throw another quart and a half in the motor so I dont have to worry about it starving on the hit. And change the front tires back to the runners and make my way to the track tomorrow as long as the rain holds off. If not I'm gonna try and make it Saturday.

Looking to get into the 1.4x 60's this outing and going to try and run a full 1/4. Going to keep the boost at 17psi until I make my way to pick up a few barrels of ignite

Is she gonna make it to CFest?

I'm going to say not this year. It has too many bugs and I want to take it to Cfest at 100%. I'm going to try and make the show next year.

My biggest fear is getting my car stolen. Which always seems to happen to a few people at a big event. Ideally I renting a rv to stay trackside lol

Well a not so good night of testing. Ended up having trans issues. Transbrake would not hold at all. Dont know if something broke internally or what.

Still having co2 issues. Keeps building too much boost and hitting overboost protection which dumps the dome pressure, cuts fuel and timing.

Talked to a trans builder today and going to go with a second gear leave th400. Car will most likely be down a while as I'm getting married in December and paying all that as we go. Thanks for every that's followed along this far

Congratulations on getting married - hope she knows you have a 'mistress' ;o)

Risks of modding - keeps things exciting...

Thank you! Shes very supportive. She comes to every track outing. Helps load/unload the car and deals with all the time spent in the shop. That's a keeper in my book

ttshovel · 07-07-2019, 08:30 PM

Took a while to get that hub off but I did. All the hardened bolts managed to snap, not back off. I'll be throwing a stocker back on.

As far as boost control goes, added an inline regulator and turned ot down to 40psi definitely not nearly as sensitive in test mode.

Reached out to a few trans places local today, being Sunday I wasn't expecting to hear back. I'll update more as I figure out what I'm gonna do with the trans

EDIT: got ahold of Mike Turner out of Dayton, Ohio. He's going to go through the trans for $200, add the second gear leave valve body for $575, plus the cost of whatever else needs replaced. Going to pull it and take it to him this weekend. Not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be

Bad ass build sir. Good luck getting it ironed out.

And super congrats on getting married!!! Best wishes to you both.
