been a while comming I know.
We have had the car at the track, Being that we don't have the nitrous controller setup yet we didn't run the full amount of nitrous.works out to about a 180shot (in the interest of keeping the C4 alive) the car has run 9.87 at 141mph. Same as before it drives to the track and we bolt slicks on. It races with the full street exhaust system and air cleaners. It's lazy to about 100ft after that it really starts to move. Still a 'safe' tune though, next time out we'll lean on it a little bit more. We don't want to push to hard to soon and hurt something. |

Good stuff mate. What is she 60 footing at? Those power skids looked awsome smoking it in top gear

60ft is still high 1s we'll be happy to get it down to 1.5/1.6
the rear end hasn't changed since the last engine. we now have double the power. Those power skids are no NOS. so only about 700hp on that day. The one good thing about a s**t 60ft. 90% of the cars we race get a fare head start on us. but an awesome thing to watch when our car run the 141mph and drives past them in the top end. still it would be nice to get it to leave the line well. Needs new leaf springs. 20 soemthing year old 6cyl XD leafs are not the best thing. I want to get a set of single leaf springs made for it. also have Competition Engineering stabilizer for the rear, as it loads up the right rear to much. |

Some new Hoosiers to replace the M/Ts same size at 28/10.5/15
2 degrees more timing so a total of 20 on the gas. best pass of the day was a 9.53@142 and 1.41 60foot |

it doesn't drive to bad. Being a 428cu engine it still has plenty of low down. traction is a big issue though, but with 700hp with no gas, you'd expect that.
I need to build a new exhaust system for it though. It's far to loud and at duel 3 inch it's probably a on the small side |

I've just spent a few nights fitting up some new parts to the XD.
Along with the direct port nitrous injection, i've just fitted a a plate system, one plate under each carby, a time delay box and a second bottle in the boot. The plan is step up from the 180hp direct shot, to a 250hp direct shot. then using the time delay system bring the second stage of 225hp about 1.5sec after the shift into second gear. We'll then slowly creep the second stage in sooner and sooner until the car has traction issues, then push it back just enough. The car will be at Palmyra Dragway next weekend. hopefully we'll either run very low 9s or brake the C4. |

Holy s**t, this thing is insane! It'll be interesting to see how she goes with all that extra NOS. Hoping nothing gets broken!
That Mustang looked pretty impressive too!

The C4 is the only real unknown here. We are running more power with a heavier car than anyone our trans builder knows about. the 9.53@142mph was only with 180hp of nos, it took 300hp of nos to crack the 1000hp.
We did run 250of it a few weeks back but the track wasn't up to it and it was wheel spin city. Palmyra Dragway is a far better track then the townsville one, so hopefully we get some traction. |

The short report is we went 148.7MPH and 9.35sec.
rev limiter across the finish line, looks like we need to change from 4.11:1 gears to 3.9:1 gears. we also moved the rev limiter up from 7300rpm to 8000rpm, that helped a little. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK9oRc4ff9U Last edited by tickford_6 on Mon Aug 31, 2009 7:40 pm, edited 1 time in total. |
