As most know we picked up a car last year less than a week before mod nationals and was first to knock down the 10 second barrier with only a few days to prep the car.
Unfortunately for us, we are stuck in Ohio with no ability to make passes, and really not do much in the way of street logs as the roads are cold as can be. So with everyone having a 5 month advantage, kind of sucks, but is what it is!
We did get to run the car on the dyno, but haven't got any full pulls in 7th gear due to the amount of car the power is making, the A10 doesn't like it. I suspect were making 1100 plus.
Tuning will still take some time, but Lund has been hard at work doing what they can remotely without having a power adder car in house to work on.
We ended up going to a much larger pulley than we like to run, just for initial hits. We only got to make 5 runs over 4 days, so not a lot of chance to get data, but needless to say, we got the job done!
We ended up with a 9.60@144 mph. I think the previous best was a 9.92 @ 142.
The most impressive thing is how much is still left. Even though we only put 2mph on the previous best, Our 1/8 mile is actually up 9 over the previous best et. Our 9.60 run. I tried paddling and the car went from 4th to 5th to 6th to 7th in less than 1 second. So rpms drug all the way down to 5200 in 7th gear.
I expect even at lower boost, the car will go at least 9.3's once we get the tune dialed in with Lund.
The centri cars are just going to love this transmission. It keeps the blowers right in peak torque and hp the entire run. I expect 1.4 60's without a converter once we turn the power back up on it as well.
Super super happy so far, and hopefully now that the weather is breaking here we can actually get some more testing in for 4000lbs with driver, this thing is hauling the mail!
Another note, with plans on big things, we did an mmr longblock, and actually dropped compression to 11.2 so were actually leaving a little on the table there as well.
Big thanks to all involved. Finish Line Performance who handles all the wrenching, Vortech for the best blowers out there, Fore and ID for the fueling, Kooks and Corsa for letting her breathe. Baer & Watson for helping her stop! Weld and Mickey for giving some nice shoes! Exedy and Beechmont Ford for contributing to our program! Steeda and Viking for a kick ass suspension setup! UPR for keeping oil out of the intake!
Lil vid for ya!
