Project JUST-N-SANE hits the TRACK!!
Well i just got back from Tristate raceway in earlville IA. Its a 47 mile trip each way for me! I DROVE MY CAR THE WHOLE WAY!
I was only getting about 5-6 psi of boost from my prochargerat the track! Temps were in the low 50s and sunny and track was slippery!
1ST PASS.. (dumped clutch at 2000rpms Hooked and then spun very hard in 2nd gear) (THREW THE EXHAUST)
2.051 60'
8.15 1/8mile at 91.94mph
1/4mile 12.29 at 120.41mph
2ND PASS... (dumped clutch again at 2000rpms and again spun hard in second gear and had to back off for a split second to gain control) (STILL THREW THE EXAUST)
2.002 60'
7.97 1/8mile 93.64MPH
1/4mile 12.21 at 114.34 (engine was slightly starving for fuel in 3rd and 4th gears)
3RD RUN REMOVED THE EXHAUST DUMP COVER (Dumped clutch at 2000rpms and hooked and spun slightly in 2nd gear) PULLING 6800rpms in 4th gear and had to shift into 5th)
1.885 60'
7.719 1/8mile at 95.03mph
11.744 at 121.97MPH
4th and final run (dumped the clutch at 3000rpms, SPUN VERY HARD IN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS) Car starved for fuel half way threw 3rd gear and in 4th gear!
1.869 60'
7.693 1/8mile at 94.60MPH
11.859 at 114.30MPH in the quarter!
Considering i cannot dump the clutch higher than 2000 rpms to keep the drag radials from spinning i think these are pretty good numbers expecially when im spinning in second gear and the car is fully loaded with 200LBS of sterio equipment at a total of 3850lbs with me in the car!
I cant wait to see what happens when i get the 4 inch pulley and run 12-14psi on the motor!
Let me know what you guys think!

thats hot man, looks like nice times especially since your 60' times are high, imagine if you got them to around 1.7 or 1.8

Nice job, but it would probably go even faster if you stopped throwing the exhaust.

You may want to try slipping the clutch at 2-3k instead of dumping it, it may help get wheelspin down and lower those '60s. Nice times on the 3rd/4th run, though!

Nice times, but I have to ask: If the car is starving for fuel in 3rd and 4th, WHY THE HECK DID YOU KEEP YOUR FOOT IN IT?!?!? Keep that up and your new engine may end up like your last one!
Better fix the fuel shortage before running more boost. If not, I'll be waiting for another "kaboom" post. Yikes!

Your right blown... I did back out the throttle when i starved for fuel... On the third run i didnt run out of fuel though.. I think jetting is a tad rich yet!
Its time for the 1/2 fuel line

I would definitely upgrade that fuel line, I am running 1/2 and I am not charged yet!!! I can't wait until I can post boost and my car in the same sentence!!
Good times, especially since spinning the tires, I would have tou agree just think what your times would be if you got out of the hole better!!!Brad

What are you doing for fuel? My turbo Camaro has the stock lines fed by a Walbro 255 lph in-tank and Bosch in-line feeding 60 lb/hr injectors and my car has no problems with 720 at the flywheel. Are you sure the lines are the problem?

It doesn't starve for fuel on the street, only on the track... Im just guessing its the fuel line.. i wouldnt think the pump would be the problem!

Hey! I was thinking! That has a lot more potential! what kind of pump are you running! what kind of trouble shooting have you done to figure it is the fuel line! Why wouldn't the pump be the problem! How do you know its a fuel problem! Are you just guessing!

I know for sure its fuel related because when i let off the gas it came back on.. but under full throttle it cut out like it was loosing fuel pressure... It only did it in 3rd and 4th gears...
I think the fuel line is the best place to start... It could also be possible that a heated fuel line was the culprit..Project JUST-N-SANE

What's your current fuel system consist of? Pump, line sizes, filter used, any 90 degree fittings, etc? Shouldn't be hard to find the problem.

Can you be more specific on the pump? Is that mechanical (i.e. on the engine) or electric?
My guess is the fuel line, especially if that's a mechanical pump at the engine. You should be running 1/2" ID minimum line/hose.

Do yourself a favor and get a BIG electric fuel pump like the Aeromotive a1000 or similar. You want more than enough fuel available at all times! With a low pressure fuel system (carb) you want big fuel lines like a -10 feed/-8 return line with a sumped tank or fuel cell. Also make sure you use a good regulator that keeps steady pressure (with a 1 to 1 rise under boost).
