Re: Slobalt
Finally got the car back out for the Fall Classic. We made some adjustments to the fuel in the tune and leaned it out at the test n tune on Friday. Started out running 15.94 on the baseline from earlier this season, then ran as quick as 15.82 after changing the fuel curve. We also played around with line pressures in the transmission.
By the end of the weekend we had a 15.77 timeslip with a 2.262 short time and a 10.09 on the 1/8 mile. All were far and away the best times the car has ever run!
Now we are just over a year and a half into this build. Started as a 17.00 1/4 mile car (10.90 1/8 mile). We've spent around $3000 total on parts and fabrication. And we've run .730 under the index! We still haven't freshened anything in the head or the engine or the transmission so there is still plenty left in this old girl I think.
Hopefully we can get some work done on it this offseason. Not sure what we're going to try first, but we've talked about head work, valve springs, cams, transmission gear ratios, and more. We will see what time and budget allows us to do before April rolls around
