My Max effort 2.3 TVS build

That ARB should make a nice difference- Which is going to the next weakest link as you tightening things up- the carrier, the axles, or the converter. Assuming your on the stock carrier still- best of luck- she's going to be a bigger rocket out of the hole now!

Was that you pitted next to me?

 

[bunits19714]

Yes sir.

A little update... Changed out the springs to BMR Drag springs & got the ARB installed. You gotta love tig welds!
Heading to the track Saturday!

 

[Scott8583]

BMR Drag springs w/ 26" front tires.

OP, any updates?

I went to the track last Saturday 5/21/16, but it was a total bust. 1st problem was my own fault. I tried a slightly shorter blower belt and a different brand, and the rough coated pulley did not like it at all... Glazed the belt, and burnt off the coating on the blower pulley due to major belt slip. Second issue was 1st to 2nd gear still wants to hang on the limiter at 7700 RPM, knocking the cam timing back to zero and pulling out all ignition timing. 4th gear is also still shifting at 6940rpm...

I made 2 passes with the slipping 63/05 combo, then put a 69mm upper on hoping the belt wasn't glazed too bad... 9.61@140 was the best with the slipping 63. 9.54@146 with the 69, both with F'd up shift points.

The last pass of the night, I tried to launch harder with a little more air in the tires and just flat out blew the tires off. Track was going away at that point.

Still great times and traps in my opinion for what had happened. Car is a beast man!
Good luck and keep us posted.

Here's my MAF data log... You can tell where the belt slip is, it should somewhat follow rpm. Yellow = rpm, purple = MAF. 63mm in 1st pic, 69mm in 2nd

 

[Scott8583]

Going to change pulley's to 69/15% for better belt rap. Found a good deal on a used ring & mini tensioner

 

[Scott8583]

Made it out to the track yesterday to enjoy some 70 deg weather! New PB! Finally got the 1 to 2 off the limiter, but 3rd & 4th are short shifting at 7K.

Congratulations Scott!

Awesome man, congrats on the new best!!

 

[vortecd]

Awesome!!!

 

[The Beast 2014]

Wow sick.

 

[Scott8583]

Update... Went to the track on sat night. Was making some steam, I just need to get the suspension dialed in now. Tune is short shifting 3-4 6 to 700 rpm early, so it's a dog just before the 8th killing some 1/8th mph.

 

[corepwn]

Doing awesome with the TVS dude. Nice 150+ trap.

 

[bunits19714]

Nice - boy if you would of had the same 60' and 1/8 mile as the last time you were out you may have seen a 9.199- nice trap speed - what rpm are you trapping at?

 

[Scott8583]

Thanks guys!

I'm trapping 7500rpm with the 3.55's.
