Atco 11-9....Shooting for 14s

[bubba428]

Any body up for a trip to atco this friday. I ran a 15.0 with the 86 and I've just about striped the car. so ON TO 14s !!!!!!!

[Mike]

how can you write a new pb before you even go,

[bubba428]

I was gonna mash 2 threads toget but changed my mind and put the other in the tech section...forgot to change the title though. I was reffering to the 15.0. But there were some issues I already worked out and I'm tearing every thing out of the car

[Slow 88]

If the weather holds out I'll be going...

[Frosty]

I might.

[bubba428]

I should be breaking into the 14s now....did a tons of adjusting and she's running strong

[Frosty]

It's going to rain tomorrow afternoon and through the night :(

[deadtrend1]

[bubba428]

I might try Saturday...if it don't rain...I WILL go tomorrow

[Slow 88]

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

[98tadriver]

yes but the V6 isnt doing you any good now.

[Jersey_TA]

[bubba428]

i saw that car

[bcgetfresh]

ill be up there on the 16th after i get my LT's and ory done :)

[bubba428]

nice I'm aiming for asap next

[Mike]

whew its a good thing no one made this thread about new bests and then never got one, that woulda been bad

[bubba428]

i already told you i forgot to change the title...but i did get a new best 60'

[JerzLT1]

should have just left it how it was and took weight out. boom 14s

[bubba428]

i did...and it sucked...so I played with it and it got better...but my tires are beat now and i need to trash the axle cause it sounds like a 10 bolt ron had....o wait lol

[98tadriver]

i did...and it sucked...so I played with it and it got better...but my tires are beat now and i need to trash the axle cause it sounds like a 10 bolt ron had....o wait lol

all of my 10bolts broke and for the record i didnt do any hard launches on that car, i barely drove it. you have been beating the piss out it :)

[bubba428]

HAHA I know you never drove it lol, and yea every one knows I abuse cars like few others. I'm just crackin jokes man...

[JerzLT1]

i did...and it sucked...so I played with it and it got better...but my tires are beat now and i need to trash the axle cause it sounds like a 10 bolt ron had....o wait lol

no you didnt because i was there when you went 15.0 full weight, so if you took 200 lbs outa the car or even 100 you shoulda hit 14s, if it aint broke dont fix it

[bubba428]

yea well i didn't touch the motor...i took weight out and ran a 15.4. I tweaked the carb and timing and cut it down to a 15.1. friday I'm putting in a rear and changing the old beat coil and maybe we'll see some thing decent

[JerzLT1]

so how did the car go from a consistant 15.0-15.1 to 15.4 with a couple hundred lbs out of it?

[bubba428]

I don't know...it ran like crap after the day I ran the 15.0, I think the coil took a dump. I hope, it might be a bent rod cause it has a mild miss fire that i cant get rid of

[deadtrend1]

I don't know...it ran like crap after the day I ran the 15.0, I think the coil took a dump. I hope, it might be a bent rod cause it has a mild miss fire that i cant get rid of

I really wouldn't believe a bent connecting rod is the source of your misfire.

You got the factory coil over cap HEI with computer Controlled advance?

plugs fine? wires are good and not arc'ing anywhere? cap and rotor (just make sure the pins are clean). Wouldn't believe its the coil. Try a new ign. module for the heck of it. they are cheap.

[JerzLT1]

I don't know...it ran like crap after the day I ran the 15.0, I think the coil took a dump. I hope, it might be a bent rod cause it has a mild miss fire that i cant get rid of

and the reason you didnt diagnose that before you went and beat the **** out of it at the track was?

just get rid of the car and get a civic before you destroy another F Body.

[bubba428]

pfft...that car is more rust than metal, and you know that. I've got some toys I'm picking up tomorrow morning. I'm changing the coil to an Accel super coil, and seeing if the misfire stops. I had an issue with a coil putting out insufficient voltage before, I'm pretty sure thats all it is. then I'm gonna spend another little bit under the car and put in the toy I got :mrgreen: and back to atco tomorrow night...

[deadtrend1]

super top secret go fast parts? why all the concealment?

[bubba428]

cause I feel like it...and a friend of mine is bringing his GTA out. its a 305 5 speed that I've SEEN eat lt1 cars. Its nasty

[WayFast84]

lol lol lol.


procharged? weight reduction?

[bubba428]

Its N/A and full weight...Whats in the motor on the other hand is mystery its got a weird crank. defiantly NOT a 305/350 crank. i think its stroked
