Excellent summary @Ralph Wiggum

 

Was an awesome weekend and has just left me wanting more!!  I drove the car as I drive it on the street, made a few changes to the tune but that was about it.

 

Some observations from my point of view. My intake temps were getting hot from sitting around for long periods with the engine running and bonnet down. Would see close to 60 at the start of the run, drop to mid 40's and back up to 60 at the end of the run.....so I'll use a spray bar next time and work on keeping the car cool.

 

As Ralphy mentioned....aero. At 250+ I could hear the factory spoiler over the external gate. It was a blur in the rear vision mirror is was flapping around so much!!  Some small aero mods will go a long way we think!!

 

When to change gears!!  This was a big one for me. I changed into 6th every run...even for the 800m. Having looked at data/times etc etc, I really needed to raise my speed limiter to 6500 rpm and cross in 5th. My best 1000m run had me 9km/hr down on my best 800m.  I'm certain it has a 265 in it as is.  Next year will see more rpm and maybe a slightly taller tyre so I'm crossing in 5th still.

 

Lastly the stock spaghetti rod BA bottom end and stock oil pump gears still held together. Was seeing upto 20.5psi on a 67mm compressor!!  How long will this thing last!!

 

Thanks everyone, was such a fun weekend!!

Impressive! 

I may have missed it, what sort of power are you pushing?

What colour is his pod filter though?  We also discussed this last night at the drags.

 

 

Speaking of which it was a slightly warm, humid night with less dense air and I trapped at 187 a few times down the 1/4.  7 years ago my PB trapped at 120mph so 194kmh, need a cold night to get a PB.

 

Or 2 more PSI.  16 pound is so 2008
