SC anfd Kurt are going for sure after a retune....
Have fun and be careful out there!!!!
melissa
Yeah, we went.
We had more fun running a Vette on the way there. Damn that TBSS is fast! That Vette couldn't believe he could hang, even from a dig! He could only pull away in 3rd when aero was in his favor.
I didn't do as well as I thought, but still matched my times with the SC on just a low compression NA motor. Lauching with the stall was a challenge for me, 1st time just boiled them, 2nd time almost ripped the rearend out with wheel hop. 3rd time I just rolled out easy and then hit it.
TBSS went 1 and done, too fast without a helmet. Borrowed a track helmet & backed it up. That thing can hook.
Also had some fun on the way down, I blew a rear tire about 80 mph, shredded it! Dropped off the wheel at Discount, grabbed a bite to eat, picked up the new tire, and rolled to Allen's. Only 30 minutes late. Special thanks to my pit crew, aka Kurt!
Allen figures the stock intake and TB are killing the performance of the 408. Great, something else to buy.
well i guess thats good ya had some fun ,but i guess it always means you have to spend for the consiquences ,lol.i wish someone had got some vids i wanted 2 see youre truck run.maybe next time.good luck spending more money.
We left at about 7:30. With S.C.s blow out and run in with the vette, we were beat. If we would have known you were going to be there we would have stayed longer.
damnittt I knew I should have gotten there sooner. I could have left at like 6, but I was like nah SC is getting his truck tuned and that might take a while
they opened the doors just as we got there. tech d in and were the first ones to run down, the guy next to me hopp'd down the track,:LOL:. We'll fix that.
hey sc i was just looking at a sight on intakes and t/b s and othe perf products called professional products . com i bought a few things from them and they seem real reasonable .idk there feedback ,but i know the fast stuff is super expensive.just a thought.bye the way what is the 408 putting down for hp.i see you just got a new tune.
Yeah, I am looking at everything. Just going to do some research first.
I don't know what it is putting out, not enough I can tell you that. The setup just isn't optimized yet, so I am not freaking out. I figure the TB & intake are worth say 30hp, and I guessed before the build it would have 440hp, so I think I am on track.
Using these formulas I get around 400hp:
The ET method
This method uses the weight of the car and the time it took that car to travel 1330 feet (¼ mile).
The formula is: hp = weight / (ET / 5.825)3
The Trap-speed method
This method uses the weight of the car and the speed at which the car completed the quarter-mile run.
The formula is: hp = weight * (speed / 234)3
Steer away from the Professional products intake. It uses paper gaskets on the intake to head seal and if everything isn't perfect you will have vacuum leaks. A BBK would be nicer but I'm thinking that since you're going to have a turbo on there one day in the future, leave it be. I'm not sure how much dynamic compression changes with boost but 9.6 cr with 10 psi of boost might be doable. Quik, do you happen to know?
hey red thats good too know bcause i was looking at them and thy looked descent.pp that is.i thought great deal on90 mm int and tb.always togood111 too be true.weeind is making some now also what do you think of them?o bye the way do you think ill even gain anything bye getting diff int tb ,beeing f/i?
Since there is a 90mm Jtube modification for the Radix setup, I would guess yes. Anything to help breath better has to be good even for SC's FI setup in the future. I'm not sure it has much benefit on low boost turbo applications though. More research would definitely be advised in that situation. Since the Radix has to pull air through the system the 90mm Jtube sounds logical.
