first trip to the track with the new chassie!!!
this was the first trip to the track this weekend. We had a blast, Car ran real good, with no broken parts.
First run on motor, I did not run it all the way out! Needed to make sure the brakes were good. 6.84 letting off around 500 foot mark.
Second run all out on motor 6.52 @ 99.71 mph. Brakes work good.Time to blast with some bottle.
Third run 150 tune right from the book. 63/71 jets. 6.22 @ 111 mph. sixty foot was slow.1.39 Tire pressure was to high!
Fourth run 71/73 jets 6.17 @ 113mph. Still fat on the fuel. Sixty foot still slow 1.37 Still to much air,
Sunday now with some better bottle pressure and same jetting it ran 6.10 @ 114 mph. With still a bad sixty foot. 1.41
Now i did some adjusting to the shocks and tire's My rebound was to soft and i think i need softer springs in the back.
A did end up with the rebound as good as it gets and put a fresh bottle in and changed the jets 91/93 .
The car ran 5.86 @ 118 mpg. Sixty foot was 1.32 .
I am vary happy for the first trip out with the new chassie and had no problems.I am getting softer rear spring in a few days and start making the adjustments that i know i need to do.
I think with the adjusts i am going to do, I should run a 5.60 or better with the same tune up.

I am not really sure what the question is, but I am pretty sure the answer is Big Block.

When you post there's a button above where you type that says "Img", click that, then paste your link in the center of the brackets between [img]and[/img] - it all has to be on one line - no spaces before or after the link that you paste in.
