CHE VT Race Car - 9.6@147mph

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

First I must say a big thanks to all the guys who helped out tonight:

Steve (69r1)
Josh (jgc085)
Reece

With out these guys our night would have been a hell of a lot more stressful!!

First pass she went 9.6@147 turning the tyres pretty damn hard, so I pulled out some power.

Then Dave was a little less aggressive on the transbrake and it bogged and only did a 1.7 60 foot but ran 9.9@142.

With the same tune up and a little more transbrake, she went 9.6@143 with the 60 foot coming down to a 1.51.

We then made a few suspension changes and pulled another pound of boost out and went 9.7@141 with a 1.48 60 foot on 11psi!!

So over the next few days I’ll go over the logs and start using the e-boost 2 to its full potential and bring the boost on after the 60 foot mark to get the MPH back up and hopefully will keep the 60’s down!!

Well got it on the dyno this afternoon and gave her a quick squirt to make sure everything was in order before the C16 and boost goes in it.

She rolled up 520rwhp and didn’t even get off the converter.

Can’t wait till tomorrow

626rwhp on 15psi which is great with the Powerglide using a 5800rpm converter.

The old 60lb siemans injectors are at 100% duty when compared to when the motor was in my ute they were at ~80% making 660rwhp

Time to find some bigger injectors. Tthe turbos are only just starting to work!

Here is a small pull to 12psi, notice how aggressive she comes on

We finished the intercooler pipes this morning, checked all fluids etc.

Straight out the front and gave that trans brake a try out.

First thing i noticed no problems getting up on the converter, so the NOS is going back in the office for the moment.
