Night Fury Dialed In & Track Tested @ C5Fest!

[FurySS]

Yeah, it is harder to run into people at the Fest than most think. Unless you know them or their car the odds aren't that great. I found it easier to find people at the host hotel in the evenings.. The Lethal cars came through the hotel lot Thursday night I recall.

Same affect I get everywhere I go. The npp sounds incredible with the NF cam. You can't mistake it.

Aw, thought it was when you finally met me.

Do you think you picked up HP or just drivability? Did they seem to think it ran as good as it should with that setup?

Some of you may have seen my recent posts about feeling my dyno #'s were lower than expected (compared to what Lethal posts). I was also having some idle/surging issues with the cam , and learned the FAST intake was a waste of money with my setup.

I had a full LS3 Conversion done locally here by Raymonds Performance & Mike Norris Motorsports. Can't say enough good about these guys - they treat the car like it is their own (and do excellent work)! This was the first Night Fury cam that had come into their shop. Mike got the tune pretty good but I was having some idle issues, as well as surging while cruising at 1200-1500rpm. So I contacted Shawn from Lethal and he was good enough to talk with Mike for me. Mike made some additional adjustments (solved the surging issue). Although the idle was better - I still had times where at a stop it would drop below 500 and then shoot up to 1000. Since Lethal was coming up for the Fest, Mike recommended I have Shawn look at the tune since it was their cam (and perhaps they had some special tweaks). Mikes goal all along was for me to be 100% happy with it, and it perform the best it can.

So when Lethal Racing got into Indy my wife & I met Shawn, Nick & their families for lunch. We had a great time and made some new friends - they are an awesome group! We hope we were able to make them feel welcome in Indy! Friday I left my car with Shawn in the am and he made some tweaks and then we went out driving while he did some data logging. His adjustments seem to have resolved any issues I was having. The car was pulling insanely strong!

So for my 1st time ever on the dragstrip I ran 12.409 (.17 R/T) with T/C on & street tires (and some tire spin). So I tried for a 2nd time - this time all the nannies off. That did not go so well - even launching below 2k I could not hook up. So I look forward to hitting the track again to see how I can improve! Wish I would have gotten to see their cars on the track - they sounded AWESOME

I may have the car re-dyno’d at some point, but I feel pretty confident if I put the car on Lethals dyno it would be consistent with what they see. I guess what is really important is what you see at the track – and I was certainly pleased with that!

Well I also added the ported stock intake so there could be some gain there. I won't know until it is dyno'd again, but I have a better understanding of why my original numbers may have appeared off. Even Mike Norris reminded me the dyno is just a tool, the track shows the real power.

Shawn made tweaks that have improved driveability and seem to make a difference in the "butt dyno". I do know Shawn raised my shift points a little higher up to 7100, and it is a much firmer shift. Shawn drove my car for himself while data logging , so I trust he was satisfied with how it felt. He asked how I thought it felt, and it was pretty awesome to me..

It's easy an 11sec car just needs to hook up good!

[Nightmare2012]

Yea you can best bet it needs a good track tire setup running with nannies on kinda slows the car down(unless on street tires like us lol)I need some tires and suspension myself ha

[inferno camaro]

Glad you are happy with the results. My 3-4 shift has always seemed a little soft to me, does your 3-4 feel similar to the rest? I think mine is shifting at around 66-67 and I've always felt it would like a little more rpm.

I'm not sure what to think about dyno numbers. Livernois did my install and it is their cam and car made 442 on a dynojet. I added a catback and had Mike add a ported TB and retune and it only showed 427 on his dyno. They both used same brand dyno but that doesn't mean they are the same but I would think close. It was 100* when mike dynoed it and was probably 65* at livernois but I think they were corrected #'s. The car feels at least as fast if not faster than before but that lower number always has me wondering if there is more in it.

I've only had it at the track twice and it was 90*+ both times and it run 12.15 @114.5 on DR's. I have since then raised my stall speed from 3000 up to 3700 and the car feels way faster on the launch but that may be just me.

40* hotter is lots of difference bud. M.N. know his stuff so I'd make sure you have some good Sticky rubber on some good DA and let that BIACH eat!
