So what happened was I decided to trailer my my car to the track for a couple reasons. 1) It'll be cold and I'll actually want some staging lane time for it to warm up vs avoiding the car getting warmer. 2) I'm pushing the stock internals and in the event of an untimely problem I'll save boat loads of expenses by trailering it myself to and from.
I reserved a trailer at UHaul and planned on picking it up same day I was leaving which was 9/5/20 the day before. I arrived an hour early and they told me they had a slight problem...the trailer I reserved wasn't back the day before and it had been reported stolen. So in a pinch I borrowed a friends trailer, which by this time I had committed to taking weight reduction a bit further than ever before. Really it was pretty easy as one thing led to another, the more I took out the easier it was to keep going. My weight with me in it for my 11.36 was 4320. The weight with me in it this time was 4050. 270lbs. Wow!
Track tech took too long I missed the first Test and Tune call. I brought two camcorders. I was able to bring along my GF of 6 years and she was with me for my first time at the track with the car back in 2018 but since this was the second time ever going. She recorded me as well. She was in the pit area and my cousin who lives in NH was filming from the stands.
First time up I wanted the right lane and I was in the right lane, but the traffic guy wanted me in left and we got into a little bit of an argument bc at this track the right lane is gold for me....so I ended up going in left. The car launched so hard and I hit both my nitrous jets at the top of 1st or so or beginning of second and about 60 ....cut throttle hard...no power...I let off. My GF said "Wow honey 20 second quarter mile that has to be a record". She got it on film but my cousin accidentally had it in picture only.
It behaved like a slipped IC coupler ...sudden loss of power but running great, sounding great. I jacked the car up and looked over all my couplers...checked everything...looked solid except my nitrous line from the adapter going to the IC jet pre solenoid was leaking. Oh so slightly leaking but I found it was actually defective...the crimp before the threaded end was not secure and from wiggling it I got a little mist on my finger...just mist but damn. So going forward I avoided that solenoid although it was pre solenoid so I'm not sure if I was getting a full shot or not with the Pre TB jet which was a 50 shot jet. Took the car for a quick spin out of the track and it had boost and felt great. Now for whatever stupid reason I didn't bring any ice...so cool down was hood open and wait lol
They took forever to call the next test and tune...to the car's advantage. About 1.5 hours later I went up for round 2 hoping it didn't do the same throttle cut again. Not sure if I hit a torque limiter or what. I decided to not touch nitrous until 3rd. Ripped the 11.14! Haha nice!! Let the car air cool for about 40 min then tried again. This time with a 75 shot jet but who knows what it sprayed and I think my bottle emptied on that run...I wished I filled it up beforehand..some oversight there. The temps rose from 75 to 79 and my IAT2 was about 25-30 degrees hotter starting which was about 110-115. Again waited until 3rd hit the 75 shot and ran 11.22.
I've got a nitrous line to replace, ice to bring and 30 degree cooler air and about 1,000 less DA and we'll see if I can snag a 10.
