Looking to widen your lead on the top spot?

I've changed a few things: Exhaust (ARK Grip) and we just retuned it with lower AFR's. This, with a little added race fuel at the track, should allow me to crank up the boost a bit.

Air quality will be primo.

I'm .13" away from an 11.5 run. (or a rebuild!) LOL!

.15 will take a great run as to get that improvement is very tuff.

chuckd05 · 12-02-2011, 11:55 PM

I was going to bring my 135 out tomorrow but things have come up. Good luck. Atco is amazing this Time of year for breaking records. Whether its personal bests or leader boards !

I'm getting a vbox ASAP though as 3-4 hour drives on traffic are not worth one run like I got last trip to atco as they closed early due to bozo's crashing !! Was 35 and people wouldn't let off when they were getting tail happy. Sucked !

Conditions at Atco today were ideal: sunny, crisp 50° air, traction, and no wind.

I did not even get into the elevens.

I've had multiple changes since I last went out: New exhaust (ARK Grip), slightly richer Uprev tune, changed boost controller switch (Blitz controller breaks after 6 mos and doesn't go into boost mode. Scrapyard junk, although it boosted properly.)

Multiple passes with a new HKS EVC-S boost controller proved it to be non-functioning or something. Jimmy was frustrated enough with it at The Shop that he turned it off until we got input from someone at HKS (or a distributor) who understands this particular unit. When you turn it off it runs on waste gate spring pressure alone. That was not enough boost. About 8 lbs.

That was my best run: 12.05 @ 117mph.

Any time I tried to run with the boost controller it would boost HARD to either spin the tires, and/or run into the HKS 'safe' Drop Mode and drop down to about 5 lbs of boost for the duration of 2nd gear--then it would come back in hard, but I'm halfway down the track. It still ran 117 when it came back on. Another 12.0 bucking and jerking.

A simple inexpensive manual boost controller would have been MUCH more trouble free. Sigh.

Anyway, that's the close of my season. We'll diagnose the EVC-S and either get it right (with input) or scrap it. The directions are complex and translated Japanese. Maybe there is an incorrect hookup. I dunno.

I did get an aborted pass with a 1.80" 60" time, so it was working hard.

Drag racing is hard. My experiences show me there are usually more disappointments than successes, but I'm persistent. After I regain my dismay, we figure out how to not make the same mistakes. And figure out new ones.

mods:
Stillen oil cooler
Berk HFC's
JWT flywheel
4.08 gears
SPL solid diff bushings
285/35/19 RE-11's
HPS post-MAF tubes
DBA 2pc front rotors

I need to get my car tuned ASAP!!!!

I'm interested to see what you put down on jacks dyno as well

I'm at atco today. Do you know what the da was yesterday?

SharpByCoop · 12-04-2011, 12:26 PM

Air density? Unsure.

Probably won't be an impressive number, I just want to get the motor to run better.

Here on the island of Guam I ran last friday. 370Z 7AT Stillen gen 3 intakes, Motordyne intake manifold, ARK exhaust, UPREV tune, Berk HFC's. I ran a 13.3. The track here sucks cause its a coral pavement so no traction at all, plus it is 85 degrees all year at night. I cant wait to get back to the states in the cold and run the car.

Looks like there's not much going on here at this time. Nothing exotic, maybe I'll do an after market exhaust this time.
I'm thinking that I might be able to be in the 12.1 to 12.4 range.
Looking forward for some fun. As always, I would welcome 350z/370z racers to join me. MD, N.J. N.Y. drag strips. Keep you posted.

BLACK or WHITE color....

I feel your pain, andre.
I decided against the cts-v and stick with the nissan family. so i am buying my new car after the turn of the year and yes ima race the hell out of it. Also dont forget you owe ray and I a night @ the strip club hahaha!!
