04CHASE Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) some of you know i went to the track today and had some good luck and some not so good. ill start with the bad they didnt start running until about 10:30 am when i was there at 8 am. track temp was about 95 . the da was near 4000 feet. also i have a problem with my torque converter slipping. it feels alot like wheel spin but we verified it isnt by monitoring input and output shaft speeds on the trans( not the trans ) and also videod the wheels not spinning. i also had a run where all through 2-3 gear while spraying i was near or above 6k rpms. we are also commanding shift on the 1-2 @ 6000 rpms while it is actually shifting over 6700 rpms. so the converter is being pulled and the trans gone through with new clutches and fluid( this way i never have to service my trans ) ok on to the good news , i did not set my goal of the fastest street SS truck . but im not finished until i do. i did however set the fastest trap speeds in the 1/4 which is cool . with my crap 60ft's i know ill have the et's when my converter works properly. here are the top two runs , the first is only blower with about 15 psi , the 2nd run is the same -3 degrees timing and a 125 direct spray nitrous shot. 60 ft 1.762 1/8th 7.571 mph 92.59 1/4 11.801 mph 117.22 run 2 60 ft 1.788 1/8th 7.452 mph 97.58 1/4 11.439 mph 123.88 here are some cool races . some pretty quick cars i took down . srt brad should be posting some of the same vids with better angles and best yet in HD BAD CAMAERA MAN!! one of my 11.4 runs. the faster one i didnt get but will be posted soon. next time i may go to a different track thats about 2 hours away but has alot better altitude . the nice thing about this track is that its 15 minutes from my house. cant wait until next time, and btw the limiter straps/cal tracs/radials helped but wont know until im getting the power to the ground with the new tc. tommorrow is another day at the races but with my camaro and im sorry to say but im going to beating up on some sss trucks.

BlackySS13 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 124...nice. Things are starting to shape up with me too, so we might be going back and forth before you know it. "Who will be the 1st to take down Az's record!" I'm going to the track this week, hopefully, for some shakedown passes. It's gonna be a fun summer.

2003_SuperSport Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Nice runs seems like some of the other cars had an earlier jump. but you still overtook them. I can't wait till you are the first one on this site to break 10's... on a cool day higher altitude and no truck problems maybe... congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
