E20 Friday 8/30

[redfirepearlgt]

Planning to go down and make a pass or two for some data on the 17. It's cherry needs to be plucked.

[draggin50]

I may just have to come on down!

[Walter]

I may go to supervise.

[redfirepearlgt]

Sure do appreciate the support. :bigthumb

[Walter]

That tire and stock converter probably work really good

[redfirepearlgt]

I hope so. The 305-45-17 R was pretty happy on the 14 with the stock converter but it made 90 less HP. Hope to see everyone down there.

[redfirepearlgt]

appreciate the support but the weather outlook at 5pm is not good. 40-50% chance of thunder storms. DA is 3300-2200 ft between 5 and 9 pm as well. So I will hold off until next Friday. Cooler air coming and an outlook of less chance for rain.

[NXcoupe]

I am headed to sparta KY with my wife for my nascar ride along she got me years ago and I just scheduled it this spring. I'm looking forward to it tomorrow morning. I'll be at the track, weather permitting, next Friday.

[redfirepearlgt]

See you there next Friday weather permitting. High of 79 10% rain call currently and much better DA without a doubt.

[PKFIRE]

Let us know how it goes Chad, wish I could see you run!

I wish you would text me Joe so I could have your number again. Your in box is full and I can't reach you via PM. I'm planning to go down Friday night. Not expecting miracles, but if it can sneak into the 10's I will be happy. With my luck of won't run faster than a 12.

[redfirepearlgt]

Friday 9/6 has no call for rain and a high of 77F. A good night for lots to come out.

I just cleared out a few spots in my inbox. I will send you a text tomorrow.

[redfirepearlgt]

THANKS BRUDDU...

[NXcoupe]

I will be there. I will be in the same spot and will come over and sit with the group if I'm welcome. I'm shooting for that 11 sec timeslip.

[draggin50]

Ill come down and hang out as well. May bring the coupe down.

no rain and 75 for a high Friday. Just keeps gittin better.

[NXcoupe]

Good to hear. I'm trying not to go to columbus for work Friday. New job and all, I really don't want to rock the boat. But if everything goes as planned I'll be there with grench.

Use the "get caught up on paperwork" excuse. It was always my out on a Friday when I wanted to finish early. Then I'd do it Saturday or Sunday.

[NXcoupe]

Exactly what I did and I should be good to go.

[redfirepearlgt]

WOO-HOO! Way to schedule!

DR rears are on the car, the mask is sprayed on and drying and it's ready to make a hit. Looks like the temps are going to be tad warmer but heat point of the day is 3pm and starts cooling down from there. Cloudy though they are calling so will see what happens traction wise.

[RACEME]

Good luck tonight guys. I'm unable to attend but plan to in a few weeks.

[redfirepearlgt]

Good time tonight. Nice group turnout. Had a good time. Would have liked to have seen a little better ET on the first pass but its a work in progress. Got home and was able to look at the datalog closer and noticed that a torque strategy is going active (7) in the data log at the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. The 1-2 shift pulled 21 degrees (from 18 to -3) and the 2-3 shift pulled 13 degrees (18 - 5). Knock value was also active at those two shift points as well so don't know if its actual knock or knock value being pulled due to the torque PID jumping to 7 at each shift point exactly at that time. Don't know enough about it to comprehend all of that, other than I am certain those short spikes in timing change and then right back had to effect ET some. Car ran 11.15 on a 1.75 @ 125.99mph best. First pass I forgot to turn on the stupid datalogger. Butterflies since it was the first pass in 3 seasons and first pass for this car ever.

[draggin50]

Had a great time last night with everyone there. Good catching up!

You could've took it easy on the Coupe on your first pass! Blew on by like I was tied to a stump! Once you get your tune figured out, its gonna run. No doubt in my mind. Easy 10's!

That's how I felt every time I was lined up next to that orange beast you sold. LOL! I hope it gets worked out.

[draggin50]

Well I got bored with going slow and Im about to pick up another car. Cant wait!

Your car runs good! I would definitely not be upset on how it ran and for the issues you had.

I smell a coyote twin turbo build for that fox body???

[draggin50]

As much as Id like to have one, no. Just a little 302.

[redfirepearlgt]

Build the bottom end on that 302 and then turn it up. Seems like I remember Kennebell had a stock bottom end turbo setup one summer that made 600ish at the rear wheel. Don't think he ever made a pass on it though.

[PKFIRE]

Good passes for the first time out! Can’t wait to hear you get her into the 10s!

[redfirepearlgt]

Thanks Joe. Verified there is torque reduction taking place at shift point. So getting some of that pulled out. Also learned that the S550 unlike the SRA setups likes to leave up against the brake on the stock converter better than leaving from idle according to the tuner. So we will see. Additionally raising the 2-3 3-4 shift points from 7000 to 7500RPM. If it will go into the 10's then I can begin to put it back to stock and get ready to trade it in and sell the supercharger kit separately....unless someone was to offer me a reasonable price for it with the SXC kit on it in its original form and Roush tune. The CAI, TB, and injectors are usable on any 07-14GT500.
