Somewhere along the way, a lot of posts back I felt like a kid again sitting at a table while the grownups (ShoNoff, SM105K, 18SHO) are eating and having an "adult" conversation .....not knowing what they're saying so I just agree and nod my head, look for social cues to share in the laughter ...thinking maybe one day I'll have this knowledge and be able to understand what theyre saying........
Blahaha shallow staging, fooling bracket racers, everyone had a Fox body.
Mine was awesome. 1989 GT Convertible, 12 point cage, weighed 3800 with me in it. Blew up the stock 5 speed, and put in a Turbo Coupe 5 speed. 1st and 2nd gear were short, 3rd gear was long. Car had 3.73's and was a full suspension and bolt on car. On the motor it made 186 hp and ran 15.00s at 86 mph all day with a 1.90 sixty. On a 275 drag radial if you didnt leave at 5k it would bog. Timing was down, X cam, everything controlled by an Anderson PMS. Both kits were run manually controlled by me. One on the shifter, and one on the steering wheel.
On the first kit (200 direct port fogger) it made 380ish hp and usually ran a 12.70 to 12.80 at 108 mph depending on the air. I would cut a low 1.80 sixty. I would use the direct port first because it was less violent then the Shark nozzle fogger. Drop the clutch grab the direct port fogger ASAP.
Next came the Shark Nozzle. Stand alone fuel system, race fuel, ect. It was pilled at (225 most the time) and right when I would grab second, I would grab that fogger. Since I couldn't pill the direct port any bigger at the time (fuel restriction) and the fogger was too violent for first gear, my sixty foot on both kits was usually a mid 1.70 (my SHO has gone 1.77 to sixty lol). With both kits, the car made 550 ish hp and would nip into the 10.70's and 10.80's at right around 126 mph. Fastest it went was a perfect pass for me. I was early on the buttons between shifts and let the rpms hit higher in the shifts (somehow the Ram Clutch held) and it went 10.59 at 124. Then i tried to replicate it, and blew a head gasket on a missed shift... lesson learned.
The look on people's faces, one pass 15.00, next pass 10.80....lol. When the GF learned how to use the Nitrous, I had to fight her to get out of the car......
