Took the Gn over to etown last night for a few easy passes.Kept the boost @18 psi since it was the first time to the track with the car.
I was happy with the results...18psi with 23/21 timing,On 255/60/15 MT's the car ran 11.0@120.9x with a 1.58 60'..On the pass,It pulled the drivers side tire about 10inches or so off the ground...I also ran through the exhaust and 3" Cat.On the next pass,It ran an 11.6 blowing the tires away for about 100ft or so...But still got a little air under the wheel...
...It started lifting,Then spun real bad.I had the dump cracked open a bit for this pass.
I was trying to get a 3rd pass in,I left the boost alone and upped the timing to 24/24.But the rain ended that.
On my 1st pass...I launched off the transbrake around 5psi...But while trying to shift into 2..It went straight to D because of how the car jumped,The car pretty much shifted right into D around 100ft out...I left it in D the entire run..and went thru the traps at 6300rpm's..What I believe to be way out of the range for the cam in this car.This car has 3.73's in it,And I was running a 27" tire.A gear swap will be done soon,I will be putting 3.23's in her.And running the 26" Mt's and the new 315/45/16 27" MT's I just bought.
I think this car will go very low 10's probably around maybe a bit over 130mph with the boost turned up.Also..Still power everything,Cold working AC,No weight taken out of the car.
here is a little video of the passes...Notice the stang in the 2nd pass staging with the rear tires...
I Didnt notice at 1st...And had to wait for them to back him up...Boy,People will try anything to get a headstart on the Gn...
