Subject: Re: Driving impressions with the AFR heads by dan0617 on 2009/8/16 22:17:27 Don't forget this is a friendly wager and alot of kidding around here guys, I really won't be upset in the least if I get beat. I should be outpowered and I'm hoping my dead hooking ability and my auto and stall converter will keep me even or an edge ahead, time will tell! Also don't forget I'm not done picking up speed or time either, I don't think. I ran a 10.66 @ 131, but melted the ground straps completely off on that pass and could see signs of bad detonation on the plugs. Now running colder plugs and a richer mixture. Also I still had a fairly large amount of blow-by when I made that pass, it is completely gone now so rings must have finally sealed up. Last but not least, I've upped the shot another 25 hp. I'm also planning on launching a little harder. If it stays together I should pick up .2 to .4. Can't wait for another track trip but life has been crazy busy lately. Also, I'm running 3.07 gears and locking the converter at the bottom of 3rd gear. I'm not optimized, to say the least, on rpms when I cross the stripe. Hopefully I'll be running 3.45's next spring. This should be good, I think our wager is at a distance for this year but I sure hope to get hooked up at a track next year! As a side note, I've been driving the car lately and it's been perfect. It is great to just drop the top, crank up the stereo and enjoy it. |
