The Stangbangerz 2023 Dirty Dozen List

[NXcoupe]

First pass of year: 8.05@174 with a 1.26 60’

Walter and Bo were there…. Muncie was a pleasant surprise for a track. Had me at keyboard doing the tuning for the track, so I’m. Still learning.

Very nice pass, indeed. I will update the list.

Went to edgewater last night to get some more passes on drag radials. Not as fast for me as slicks but I am impressed with how well they are working. Looks like all my changes are paying off. Big thanks to Walt for the springs, it took 18 psi like a boss last night. Still coming in soft and slowly ramping in boost but she's back.
1.7276 60
4.3182 330
6.3182 @ 123.63 660
9.4876@ 153.79

So if i get to vote, i dont think you should pull of the list. You will be ready to go again this season. “Broken” should be when “maybe next year…” scenarios are in play. Otherwise we would all have to pull off for being broken twice a year. Haha. As a stick guy i change my transmission more often than my engine oil. Just sayin….

I appreciate it guys!! Motor is ready to pull out, going to get lift from Walter and will have it out this weekend. Going to make a few changes so we can go even faster. This year has been rough one, but going to turn it around!! I appreciate all the support!

Nice work Mike! 8 second mph, plenty of meat on the bone.

Thanks Walter! Well, after looking at logs at length, I'm pretty sure it's not locking the converter any more. I've done a lot if calculations and being at 8k in 4th and only going 154, something is very wrong. I just bought a used bolt together Circle D lock up triple disc converter from a guy. I won't have it in by BG but at least it's ready when the drivetrain comes out over the winter.

[NXcoupe]

I'm out. Engine let go on my first TS pass, but went a 9.56@154. Next year I'll be out gunnin for bear. Converter showed up while I was gone, no the irony is not lost on me. But that's it for me. I'll take myself off and update the list soon. Good luck to everyone else tho

Sorry to hear this. If you need anything, let me know. I vote to keep you on the list, it isn’t like people are fighting over spots, just glad to see participation.

As for an update, mine is getting fixed right now.

Thanks Terry, that means a lot. I have busted ass trying to get an 8 sec slip but on the last trip to edgewater I realized after looking at the logs that the converter clutch in the stock converter was no longer holding in any gear. So when I crossed the stripe I was at 8100. I will get with you if I do need anything. Also, Dave is working on the stickers.

So I did see you pulling out was we were drawing for the 8.60 class.
I went too fast but went a new pb. 8.59@159mph with a 1.25 60ft. I need to find the slip. Unfortunately that out me out first round but still came in 5th over all for the year

I heard them talking about your qualifying pass that was right on the money. Cam went up and looked at all the qualifying times they posted. I would have made it into tge top 10 in true street had I not been a dumbass. Congrats on the PB. Post up the slip or just list the times.
