Well... couldn't be happier with my results from the first time out with the car. Had a few issues, but nothing major.

I have the boost controller wiring screwed up, so I couldn't get it to initialize into the launch mode. Hence only running it at 8psi all night.

Also, had a bad connection at the trans brake button that wasted a few passes.

Once I got that fixed, I just kept adding RPM to the starting line, and it kept going quicker and quicker every pass.

It's pulling 1 degree of timing for every pound of boost, and it's only got 30 degree's in it to start. So basically a real conservative 8psi / 22 degree, tune up.

Last pass of the night was the quickest.

The car is SOOOOOOO easy to drive. With the 2.76 gear, it's in first gear FOREVER. Shifts at 5500 rpm, crosses the stripe at like 5200. As smooth of a 10 second pass as you could ever dream of.

I was really hoping it would dip into the 10's tonight, but I never thought it would do it at such low boost. Can't wait to see what it'll do turned up, and with even more RPM/Boost/Timing on the launch.


I'll get some video posted up for you guys tomorrow.

Thanks for everyone who's helped me along the way on the bullet... couldn't have done it without you guys.

Re: Finally got my junk to the track!

Congratulations i found your build a couple months ago I love the 62 styling what kind of boost controller are you running? I'm hoping to mak down the track in my valiant next week I can't say for sure if it will be ready though
Keep at it very impressive

 

Re: Finally got my junk to the track!

Very impressed! 12 psi and more timing will be night and day. Going to the next no e.t.? Thought about going myself.

 

Re: Finally got my junk to the track!

That is awesome! Congrats dude!!!

 

Re: Finally got my junk to the track!

Yeah couldn't be happier with everything. It's got an MSD boost controller. I just have the line loc wired wrong to initialize the sequence, no big deal to fix.

I don't know if I'll get the car to the track again this year or not. I am moving to my new house in a week and a half, I'm lucky my wife was nice enough to let me run it yesterday without killing me... lol

Maybe at the end of October I'll try and get it out again... we'll see how everything goes.

 

Re: Finally got my junk to the track!

Videos! Isn't even trying to spin yet... can't wait to put some more RPM/Boost to this thing.

Awesome job ! with a hood on it no one would be the wiser that what lurks beneath...

 

That is what you call a sleeper.
