Black Sunshine/ 00SS

No in the Et catagory, like I was hoping for. I did get a best MPH of 125.68.

Can someone explain where my 60's have gone? I know it's not the rear, gotta be the convertor & tranny.

Anyway, I could not manage better than:
1.703 11.90@114.70
1.665 11.84@114.73

1.640 11.089@124.87
1.630 11.089@125.08
1.643 11.075@124.68
1.650 11.080@125.68

The fog was rolling in, & the moisture was in the air, but I didn't feel like I was slipping. Looks like the perfect bracket racer But not what I was looking for. I know weather plays a big factor.

I suspect that I have issues with the tranny & or the convertor. Looking for answers, as I obviously have the power, times should be different.

I have some SES lights, which I thought was the rear o2's. Also I damaged one of the rear ABS sensors when doing the 12 bolt, so I have low track, and ABS INOP lights. I dont know if this affects performance, but apparently I have issues to iron out..

This is not as easy as when I was bolt on. I kinda wish I had stayed bolt on & just lightened it up more & sprayed the hell out of it... Any ideas?

Congrats on the MPH PB. The power is really there but that new found TQ just seems to be pounding the tires and tranny. Did you change the tire sizes at all yet? The spray tuning gurus might have some notes on the tires.

You may be out growing the Vig 3200 and stock tranny. Would ATAP tranny temps be a good enough indicator of slipage???

I'd be curious to see what everyone thinks the Yank PYE-3600 3,600/2.5 STR or even a Yank 9" Thrust Extreme 4,000/2.7 STR would do for you. I suspect either one of these may make a hardened tranny a requirement though. I do like the FLP Lvl 4 for sure if you're looking at this for next year.

I'm the way to Lansing now. I'll honk as I fly by Owosso.

Certain convertors match up better with nitrous than others. What is the powerband of the new cam? What rear end ratio do you have and how tall are your rear tires? Check your dyno charts to see at what rpm your power is falling off and shift before that. When the air temperature drops down to the dew point, dew will form on the track.
If you run during the NMCA event at Stanton sept 7 & 8, I peronally guarantee the best 60' times obtainable in Mich.
