I'm going to hit Lapeer tomorrow to get some passes on the Xcharger and dial the car in. Anyone else interested in heading there?

 

WOW. Congrats on the 'charger!

I won't be going tomorrow, but how much does the car put down now with the Xcharger? Are you also running the nitrous?

 

The nitrous is off -- nitrous and supercharger/turbochargers don't "play nice together". As Scott Hoad said, it will work ---- for a while!


I haven't gotten it on the dyno yet to get some baseline numbers. I need to call Lidio and set up a time to get in and just get the baseline on the emailed Bama tunes. Later I'll set up a tuning session for Lidio to custom tune it for me, probably after the intercooler becomes available and is installed.

 

Well a bad day of racing always will beat a great day of work!

Track prep was lacking today. The right lane had no traction at all - I raced another convertible and my 60' was probably the worst ever after sitting there spinning at 75mph before finally getting some traction. Left lane was just a little better. Everyone seemed to be spinning a lot on the launch.

Didn't get anywhere near where I thought the X would put me today. Unlike nitrous, the boost comes on right away so that plus lack of track prep didn't help the launch. Only dipped into the 13's today with a 13.9 but ran fairly consistently at 14.1. The car has more in it, just need to get the launch dialed in.

 

I've yet to try Lapeer. I'm a little reluctant based on what i've heard.

I'm curious...what kind of dyno numbers did you make on the nitrous? Does the blower feel stronger?

 

On the nitrous I was getting 252 RWHP and 399 torque. The Xcharger feels like more but that is only seat of the pants. Of course a lot of that has to do with the fact that the boost is there on demand and comes on so low in the RPM with the X.

I see that Lidio has a fall dyno day coming up on September 19 at Alternative Auto so I think I will wait until then to get some numbers rather than scheduling a separate set of pulls for myself.

 

i was there in my v6, was running consistant 14.8 cant complain that much i guess, was pretty humid i think. i need to grab some better tires, my street tires are really ****ty. i spun a little off launch, not that much but enough.. and broke loose and spun all of 2nd gear every time. i know i can get more out of it

 

I thought I saw you there but didn't get a chance to get over to talk to you. Talking with a friend about the conditions he said they weren't any better on Sunday, everyone was spinning then too.

 

Same here. I did a lot of spinning but I was satisfied with my best of 13.3. I had my best reaction times ever with a best of .501. In 9 runs my worst reaction time was .697. Nice finally meeting you Turtle.

 

nice numbers Jack
