Best of luck

PLEASE have someone video the run !


I'm hoping your fuel issues/return line/pressures, etc are solved now.

This is why I went the Nitrous route, so I could avoid all the issues of fuel supply.

My stock 4.0 fuel injectors I think are relatively maxed out at my approx 475 flywheel hp, so adding the extra fuel via the Nitrous kit was my way of providing an easy "work around" solution. Using the extra fuel delivery via the fuel delivery jet that mixes with the nitrous allows me to have a completely independent means of delivering whatever amount of additional fuel I want by selecting whatever fuel jet size I want so I can adjust the AFR leaner or richer as desired.

You can watch from here:

Alastaro Circuit - Vauhtia vapaa-aikaan! - Alastarocircuit.fi , click "Nettikamera" and from there "Viimeisimmät kuvat" . They are pictures updated each few minutes, or videos: "Tuntivideo" ( last one hour ) or "Vuorokausivideo" ( last 24h ). Most cars will be Corvettes but they accepted a few other brand cars. Time for drag race will be around 2-5am California time...

Will report in few days.

Arrrgh, how frustrating. You have my sincere wishes that it all gets fixed and running well soon.

I really missed driving my car when it was down for 5 months. I can empathize with the feeling.

I myself would be very content with a 12.5. I'm hoping I can do better than 12.8, but I won't know until I try. I don't think I will be faster than 12.7 at best.
Now that my life has gotten very busy (good busy) again, I am placing a higher priority on the car being fast and totally reliable.

I'm happy to see you back at the track

Thank you for the video!

This run was late August. Same day than 12.34. I removed spare wheel set from the trunk and rised rpms against the brake by 200. You can see the result. Some wheel spins and 60ft 0.10-0.11 slower than normally. Burnout with DRs should also be 2-3 seconds longer to get optimal tire temperature.
