sorry for NO vids
the new set up went 11.19 off the trailer, and consistant at that. between all the oil spills as the sun went down it got worse, we would spin off launch then only again when hitting second gear. the Dew sat in and temps though they reached 71* the humidity never let up..
only excuse i have is i need a cold air intake as the 4" tube is a huge restriction on my new setup !!the IATS were plenty high in the 140's
All motor?
Sounds like a very good start to me. Especially first time out
yes all motor, next weekend if i can get the finals on the tune we'll be throwing a 100 shot at her next weekendQuote:

lol i know, youre not the first to ask, the setup was built around a hefty shot of nitrous, try like 600 + if i wanted, probably only see 300 and maybe 400 once lol i gotta get a cage and get one quick.. i was very pleased with the outcome just on motor never would expected such a insane setup to meet my goals, wish i would have had it done before SAR but oh well the patience paid off i guess!!Quote:

DAUM SKEET !!!!! that thing is over 600 n/a??? almost 10s all motor is NO JOKE !!... Great job as allways !! But its getting hot out... and hard to get Great numbers ....
paper work and software estimated it at 638, torque didnt look all that great at 511, but being NA on a nitrous fed motor running a 252/263 cam is amazing, ya darn right its getting hot out, its was nasty last night at 71* and alot of dew in the air and the humidity being way up there really sucked! running with a cold air intake didnt help with high IATs and engine temps, but all in all im very impressed with the build!Quote:

well its been awhile any update?
yep shes down, broke comps baddess new 926 springs 2 of them, broke one of revs valves at 6000 rpms on the street shifting at 6400 the valve came apart at the seat and stem, took out the head and #8 piston, yeah its a mess, the build specs are within tolerances comp has the build and prints, as to REV, having trouble with REV they claim its not there valve ( wtf ) comp is taking all measures to help with the issue, they did admit it was a spring failure and the springs ( 2 ) were sent to there lab for futher issues.yeah i would like comensation for the cost to redo the whole motor but i aint waiting on COMP nor REV, comp mentioned it could be a month up to 3 months, so i ordered new heads,new piston, comp is shipping new springs, everything is being checked out from crank to rods to pushrods along with new valves..hopefully in the end i'll at lease get 1/2 compensated for the disaster, but im really not expecting it.. oh yeah the block was sent back to the machine shop also, to have it checked out, i might as well raise the compression to a mere 11:4 to 12:4 ;) and still run pump gas :) looking at 3-4 weeks down time
thats fast!and sucks to hear bout that^^and next time get vid! good luck bro
that sucks Skeet.. Comp will probably only want to replace their springs and thats it. Sucks
wow this is terrible I feel bad for you. Comp prolly won't do much unfortunately, but if they do then A+ to them.
comp made a call last friday to rage motorsports, seems like after the metalurgist looks more into the springs a offer will be made to help with the build, i can only say this will make things alot better, i never expected ( and i still dont ) but if they do they'll get my respects forsure for helping out :)
we are reworking the whole setup ;)
wow 10's N/A should be fun to see!
how many cubic inches is your engine?

Damn skeet that sucks. Hope you get it all sorted out. The next combo can only be better so thats the good news.
I am sure the bill for this is pricey but hopefully it isnt as bad. Are you only having to buy one piston? You mentioned changing CR so I wasn't sure if you are achieving that through piston, gaskets or heads. I am curious as to what heads you are running.
