It looks pretty good when you use the right rpm!

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Steve I ran the numbers on the Wallace calculator and came up with 5.916%. Am I doing something wrong?  Tire circumference is 87.8

Wallace says 28" tire, 1.0 tranny gear, 3.42 rear gear is 146.14 mph at 6000 rpm.  What percentage is that compared to 116.5 ?

I round off to 80%


LOL...OOPS! I need to clean my glasses!

your number is right...pretty good!

You may need a looser converter for best times as it must be starting out in third around 4300 rpm?  With your cam and turbo, it will probably go faster if it drops to about 5200, I think

Found out why I wasn't spraying alky.... After changing the engine harness, I didn't completely seat the connector to the MAP sensor.  It's spraying now. 


Also, installed a standard waste gate actuator after locating it on the bracket and then welded it up. I didn't make any test hits. Too much stuff to do....
