Yeah, my 15th wedding anniversary is Friday, but we usually celebrate on Saturday's, so maybe.

[Ohmsby]

I'm in weather permitting for sure. My shop is only about 5 miles from the track so anyone who wants to meet up at the shop is welcome to we have tools to do any last minute air/tire/whatever prior to leaving for the track

[Mark #2]

I have the kitchen pass, dense carbon products for the 15th wedding anniversary as usual.;)

Weather permitting now.

Hope Terry shows to data log and tune my truck, Hint Hint.:D
I may go to Kill if the numbers look good to me and Terry.

[Chris94L]

If all these people go, I might check it out. Charlie will you be taking Sandra? If not is it cool if I ride up there with you? My truck isn't feeling up to running at the track right now (got a few issues that have come up, no its not the blower), but I'd like to go and check out some trucks.

[charlie]

You can hold down the slicks in the back..... Sorry bud. Ashley's going too. But if my brother goes, I'm sure he will give you a ride.

Charlie

[Chris94L]

I think I might just go ahead and drive out there. Seems the part I was most concerned about I was able to correct today.

When are we going to see an L put down a 6.90????

[Chris94L]

Had fun tonight guys see some of ya'll thursday hopefully at bonedaddies. Hopefully we can all meet up at redline one night.

[Mark #2]

Great to see everyone, had 7? of us. Many thanks to Terry for coming and tuning my truck at the track. Lot's of data logging and 3 new tunes for me. Terry I owe you a little more money for your effort, I'll buy Bonedaddy's for sure.

Ran a best of 7.97 which in last night's heat and humidity was pretty good at ~15.5 psi boost. Gary was running ~the same times too.

John's Gen1 is bad. Sounds great too.

[G'Lightning]

I had a good time also ..nice to get back out to the track..Although it was very humid it was'nt a really bad night. good to see some faces again.And as Mark said it was was really cool for Terry to come out to help with his tune.:tu: Oh yeah ... John's Gen 1 is ..:bows

[PUMP]

+1 on the good time and good people. On top of his other good works, Terry noticed & replaced a burned out license plate light on my truck:tu::tu:

[tiffo60]

So what did the G1 run John?:hammer:

[Ohmsby]

So what did the G1 run John?:hammer:

made two passes have a slip @ 8.02 @ around 90 mph I had the slicks but ran the dr's had the gen 2 lug nuts with me:tex I didn't get the second slip but it was about the same

Launched at about 2k and slipped a little but the truck really goes down the track well I think the truck will go mid 7's with the current set up.

That was the first outing and I was only running about 9-10lbs boost so nothing crazy. Ask Tyson about the launch from 1st to 2nd he was next to me

90mph trap in this heat and humidity aint no joke, not bad for the old beater:icon_mrgreen:

the first pass I sat on the line for over 45 minutes a "top fuel":rll:el camino

[L8 APEX]

I thought Chris was going to wreck trying to avoid all of the parts coming from the El Camino:rll:

Yeah I was right there next to john, then he hit 2nd and was out like a bandit.

I haven't posted any data in a while but this is what I think an A/F chart should look like, gets richer with each shift. Thanks again to Terry.

The first pass was a little lean wasn't it?

[Mark #2]

The first pass was a little lean wasn't it?

Yes, the first, second, third, were lean, this was the 4th.

Worked the A/F down from 13s, to 12s, to the 11s

A different tune for each run at the same street boost level.
Have two more race tunes(one for higher boost) that I haven't data logged yet.

Will run those tunes at the next Redline event that we need to schedule.

I am a believer of tuning on the 1/8 mile track under actual loads rather than the dyno with unknown simulated loadings(at least to me).

Even if the tune is off, you aren't really loading the motor like on the top of the 1/4 or on the Dyno at 6000 RPM in 3rd(y'all know that is what they do and what that sounds like, and yes it does actually scare me).:eek:

I have been done with the dyno since I got my Dynojet wideband.
Much better data and in less than a year it payed for itself versus paying for dyno time.

Again, thanks to Terry for his time and expertise.
