Title: Rotrex Cavalier... closer to the 11's...
Post by: mars on October 25, 2008, 11:30:38 PM
All on the modified TGP .bin file...  No other management of any kind, daily driver.

Mods since the last posting are water/meth injection (added more timing),  a WOT cam grind # 1429 with an LSA of 110, and DOT M&H racemaster Street/Strip tires.

118mph = nice! Have you been able to 60ft any better than 1.9's with those drag radials?

1.9 is the best I can do with the 3000RPM two - step rev limiter.  (he he, I use the park / neutral rev limiter as a two-step, and it works most excellent.)

I bet if I'd launch at 6500, and hook, I'd shave a tenth there or so.

I've never really went for all out personal bests with the car, I braket race it and usually row the gears nice and slow so as not to miss a gear, and launch at 3K to not spin out.

Haha, the only reason I still have axles is because of the tires I am running.

Radials are killers on the track for driveline parts.

Real good read here : http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.php?f=42&i=23811&t=23811 (http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.php?f=42&i=23811&t=23811)

Basically explains that wrinkle wall tires absorb the shock loads that radials wouldn't.  My M&H Bias ply sports won't turn the car worth a damn, but they sure do wrinkle the sidewalls and absorb that shock on the launch, and wheelhop is 100% non existent here with the bias ply tires.
