Second trip out with the TVS!

[mustang john]

Just got back from the track and running the TVS for the second time. No new best ET but I did manage a new best MPH and a new best sixty... Just couldn't put them together lol.

Best pass was a 10.34 @ 137.2 with a 1.49 sixty. DA was good right at sea level and it was cold, about 40*.

Oh and I did manage a 1.43 and 1.44 sixty also!!

My driving is so rusty only hitting the track every couple of months these days but the performance of the car makes me look pretty good. :coolman:

I have a 3.0 upper to replace my current 3.2 upper 4# setup and I plan on upgrading the MAF and intake since its all still stock crap with a MAFia stuck to it, maybe that will give me alittle more push closer to 9.9999! lol

On a sorta sad side note my heater core decided to let go as I pulled in the driveway tonight. :bash:

Whats your suspension/wheel/tire set up John?

 

[timspony]

Nice runs with that TVS! :beer: .... SRA / tranny / weight?

 

[mustang john]

Race weight last night was 3630. Im still shifting gears with my T56 and Ram HD clutch with a billet steel flywheel and it has a built SRA with 4.10 gears. The 4.10s are too much gear and i will be going with some 3.73s soon. Suspension is a UPR K member up front with 14x175 springs, MM extreme duty LCAs and Baseline UCAs with a Baseline track locator bar out back. 28x10.5 ET Drag stiff walls on 15x9 Weld Draglites and 15x3.5 Draglites up front. Notable weight reduction is a Teksid block, k member, ABS delete, rear seat delete, Corbeau seats. 8pt S&W mild steel roll bar with a custom rear shock tower brace and kicker bars thru the floor tied into the MM FLSFC. Oh and all runs are speedshifted not powershifted, i suck at powershifting lol!

It has a TON of body roll on the launch, left front comes off the ground easily a foot or more and right front barely gets air, I already have a UPR ARB that will be going on soon. I figure if i can sixty 1.43 with crazy body roll it should sixty in the high 1.3x range with a good straight launch!

My sig pic is with the ported Eaton, so add a 100+ more rwtq to that launch and you get the idea! lol

What you crossing at with the 4.10's and 28's at 136-137mph?

 

[mustang john]

Its at about 6700 maybe 6800, alittle too high. I think it will MPH better with the 3.73s.

 

[SYMach1]

I bet aswell, what you shifting at? 6400?

 

[mustang john]

6200 for now, when I settle into driving it I will play with shift points.

That mph has a 9 all over it. You just need to get your suspension dialed in, I bet the arb makes a big difference. I got a 1.44 60' with road race suspension and IRS so a high 1.3 shouldn't be a problem. I'm pretty impressed with the TVS.

I agree except its the driver that needs more dialing in than the suspension! lol

What tire are you on? I just dump the clutch around 3-3500rpm on 28" slicks. If I try a higher rpm it just spins since I don't get any weight transfer.

 

[mustang john]

About 5k, i get plenty of weight transfer and a ton of body roll. An ARB should get me into the high 1.3x range.

 

[mustang john]

There is an easy tenth maybe two just in me getting some seat time. I dont see any reason why the car couldnt go high 10.ohs just the way it sits, my driving is the biggest limiting factor right now.
