What weight did they have for your car in the Dyno?

eLeSthree · 11-01-2021, 09:13 AM

Went to a local TRC event. Plan was to do a couple rolling passing on my ET Rs, then swap over to the ET Drag slicks and do some digs. We got there at 2:30, and I only had 2 rolls in by 10pm. So the digs never happened. But the car trapped 10mph higher than it ever has before. That G4 is moving some air.

I was getting some really bad vibrations above 100mph, so I called it a night. Hope to hit a private rental soon and finally do some digs.

153mph

Since I spun the first run, I dropped from 18psi to 15psi in rears, and tightened the rebound to stop the front coming up too fast. The second pass hooked, but my et and mph were slower. Sure felt better.

148mph

Best 60-130mph on dragy was 5.65. I did not use my WOT box. Just wanted to go easy on the car.

Thanks, it would have been more fun with less people and more track time.

I know it can do better. The roll racing setup isnt ideal for me. They start you so far behind the tree, that by the time I get there my RPMS in 2nd gear are really high and it wants to spin. Probably due to the 3.73s.

I have a larger lower and a smaller upper pulley I was going to try, but I think it's time leave power alone, and focus on the suspension and learn to drive.

It's hard to speculate, but if it traps 153 (or slightly higher) from a roll, I'd hope it trap 143 from a dig. Which should be enough for my goal of 9.9 with the manual. But again, speculating.

Test N Tune Nov 12.

The G4 bracket for the camaro is now available. Its not listed on the website, but you can call and order the kit with the G4 now. It moves the blower away from the crank just slightly (about 1/4 inch) to avoid contact with PS res. When used with the 207mm lower, you’ll need a longer belt.

Also included the latest dyno runs after the Pro Flo XT intake swap.
This combo uses the 207mm lower and 90mm upper.

Guess I should have put a clamp on that Trumpet, lol.

Yes been there done that they don't stay on too much vibration, we had to weld our 7 inch radius inlet on.

When it fell off on me it took out the impeller

stevieturbo · 01-20-2022, 12:21 PM

Hope it didn't do any damage ?

eLeSthree · 01-20-2022, 08:53 PM

Nah, just a couple dings on the volute inlet. Lesson learned.
