Killed 2 pistons, and possibly some valves. 0 compression on #6, & #8, sent a scope into the spark plug hole and can see a hole in #8 and a crack in #6.
The rotating assy seems to be ok, but a valve job & some short block work seems to be in order. Plus finding out why we leaned out.
Trying to have it figured out by June 11.

Wow, you really wanted that # 1 spot dude! Sucks for sure, but that's part of race car ownership eh?
It happened after you completed that 10.1, or it was a different run? Best of luck with the rebuild.

New rods, pistons, rings and a cam put this motor back together. The factory block just wont handle bunch of gas.

Wish I had a current time... I am still stuck with the 13.1 from last year with the old motor. I will be coming home in about a year, so if I can get a t56 in, hopefully I can get some new times for the next thread.

Re: Nor-Cal 2011 1/4 Mile Times - Get on the list!
Honestly your hole shots didnt look all that fabulous to me but those 60 are pretty good still..I think you ate too much so your MPH is low 
well with all else being the same. shift points, stall, etc. you'd think you would pick up some MPH. But maybe not. Hell of a job either way. I think you need a line lock so you can heat those tires up more..But that is my opinion. Burnout is kind of weak for the power but what do I know my car ran a 14.8!

Re: Nor-Cal 2011 1/4 Mile Times - Get on the list!
I thought I saw Joey do quite the burnout on his slicks. I don't do half that on a DR. Your 60's were the same too at high 1.7's. Picked up 3 tenths sounds right to me, don't sweat the mph too much.
Hey where are the other times?! Will? I know there were a couple more.

I only watched him run twice and they didnt look real huge but I was downtrack around 700 ft or so. He didnt seem to really jump out of the hole but im very impressed of his car and its consistency. I can't tell if he is spinning at all. So I dunno. Dont listen to me! haha.

He has his pit crew chief dad providing instruction on water box and burnout length. I think his launches are pretty consistent high 1.7 or low 1.8.
Time to dyno Joey! I think that mph estimates about 350 at the rear wheels.

Re: Nor-Cal 2011 1/4 Mile Times - Get on the list!
Anthony!! I was doing some awesome burn outs. I'm pretty sure I got those tires nice and hot. Marc gave me some tips and they worked great. But I would still slip no matter what I did. I even let the air go down to 10psi and it still spun. The track wad not all that great. I'm going back real soon. I know the car can do much better.

Re: Nor-Cal 2011 1/4 Mile Times - Get on the list!
Joey, I have a set of rims and tires you can try next time out.
Lets just see what slicks can do. maybe some squeez???
Lucky for you Bennie is working on Del's car, so it'll be like another year or so before you match up against him. Just gotta take out Travis. Too bad he's still not using MeGaysquirt.
See ya at the top.

Re: Nor-Cal 2011 1/4 Mile Times - Get on the list!
Marc I looked into the timing with the Solus. My computer in my car does not have the option of changing the timing it looks like I am going to be getting into some custom tuning with the Dynamicefi.com EBL flash by member Rbob here. It comes with base settings to get me up and runing quick. Then I can do some runs with datalogging and figure this sucker out. 14.2 w/o higher flowing heads, So hopefully I can get into the 13's and i'll be where I wanna be. A respectable 13 second TBI car and then can throw all my money into the Charger to have it out there in 2012 before the world ends

hahahahaha. It still starts now. It needs body, interior work, new fuel lines plumbed etc. It should give you a run how you are now hopefully. I'd get getting 7 MPG too. well hopefully it will! any less and I wont be able to afford to drive it. I miss having two cars!

Re: Nor-Cal 2011 1/4 Mile Times - Get on the list!
Well I think he could launch more aggressively for sure. But I understand he wants to run the car at the track in is street form so he can really see what the car does as is. Im kind of the same way. Just the HP level is a biiiiiiiig difference. I dont have full rear suspension mods but I do have teh LCA and relocation brackets.

Yeah, no doubt I'm stubborn in the same way as far as no slicks and driving my car home as is, but I have every suspension mod imaginable and 17's. I think Travis is more worried about breaking his rear.

Re: Nor-Cal 2011 1/4 Mile Times - Get on the list!
What other options are solid out there? I've not kept up. I dread the day my 9-bolt goes.
I still want to get some of the front end suspension pieces like center link/idler arm, ball joints. Mine are pretty worn and steering could use tightening.
I've got mainly BMR/Spohn pieces. Wonder bar, SFCs, Panhard, LCAs+brackets, torque arm, strut tower, etc. If I could pull a 1.6 60' on DR's, that'd rock!

Oh yes, it does. Different than the ZZ3. Updated. I try not to put too many details in there, mainly the motor. The ZZZ is 350 HO right? What's the HP rating on that?

Re: Nor-Cal 2011 1/4 Mile Times - Get on the list!
Maybe September we do a dyno day GTG somewhere. 
Based on your mph, it looks like it is missing some power with that engine/head/cam combo. I'm sure the stock tune/fueling has a lot to do with it.

Ya, I have no doubt that it's not making it's power potential. I am interested to see what it dyno's as is, then bumping up fuel pressure on one dyno run, and installing the custom prom for the third run.
