The JDM crew came down for Houston FFW and did some tuning and installation before racing this past weekend. Chillfactor, John A, myself and a few others got some new tunes.

I got the new Magnum Powers blower installed and to say the least I am impressed. I dont have any good 1/4 mile numbers due to the fact that I was bracket racing. But here is one the better ones a 12.4 @ 78 mph.... although my 1/8 mile time was a 7.6 @ 92 mph. So I like the new blower and tune I think its going to work out really well for me. I do not have a built motor so it still conservative on the tune. For a few things are running out on me such as mass air meter, injectors, and stock rods.

Once again thanks goes out to the whole JDM crew for the work these guys put in. I know we stayed at the shop 3 nights in a row way past 11pm and somtimes 2:30 am working on Lightnings. thanks again guys and hope you had a safe trip home.

 

What was your previous best 1/8th before the MP blower?

 

I wish we had a big event here in alabama so i could get some custom tunning done by jim but i guess ill just have to load the L up in the trailor and pull her up to new jersey to get it all perfect its a addiction io cant stop

 

Previous best was 7.8 in -400 DA weather. this time in Houston the DA was 2200 above sea level. So if I can get some air like that it should be a 7.30-7.40 run in the 1/8.

 

The Magnum Power blower rocks and so does the the SCT tuner.

Jim and Shaun worked their butts off as they always do, but still had fun.

For Sue & I this was one of the best FFW we have been to even though Saturday was a rain out. I just wish I had taken pictures of everybody standing under the tent trying to stay dry waiting for the barbque brisket my son had cooked. For those who were not there we had 15 or more hungry, cold people waiting to be fed. Evan Smith from MM&FF magazine fame was huddled in there with the rest of us along with the Superchip dudes.

Thanks Jim and Shaun for all you did for me and the Lightning crowd.

Thanks to everybody who pitted with us and the camaraderie. It was truely a Fun Ford weekend!!!!

 

Yea even though the rain hit Jim, Shaun, Evan, Jamie, and myself still did some indoor racing at kart zone. Had blast and was fun to finally kick back and relax not working on Lightnings. Also if you have a chance go to a imaxx and watch Nascar 3-D its amazing and thats how we ended up racing at kart zone everyone was pumped.

 

Glad you guys had fun.

But more glad my tuner is back in New Jersey.

Wow those are some great times. What were your 60' times, and could you list your mods

 

60 ft times were off a little at first we were leaving the line at about 9 degrees of timing with a 1.80 now after some tuning it was going 1.70-1.72 short time. Not to mention the weight was on the heavy side at 4890 lbs.
mods are:

JDM Magnum Power & 2.75 upper
JDM 6lbs lower
JDM CAI
JDM Super flip chip
JDM Ol' School Throttlebody
JDM Headers and cat back
JDM traction bars
JDM Line Mod
JDM Bogarts rears hoosier 28x10.5 20" Lightning wheels up front
JDM electric fan and R water pump
JDM phenolic spacer
and the one LFP extrude honed upper plenum

 

Hey Vinn it would be nice to meet you guys up there. I will be coming to Jersey in about 3 weeks for FFW. Last time I was in Jersey it was only about three hours then back on the road again. So hopefully this time I get to see more and the weather is good.

 

Looking forward to it.

 

How much boost are you seeing with that combo? Any idea what the A/F's and timing up high are?

 

Glad everything worked out for you guys.

But if you keep working the JDM crew so hard, us joisey boyz will not let them leave town anymore

I guess Iam a little spoiled having them 30 min from my front door

 

I am seeing about 18-19 lbs of boost. Air fuel went lean at about 4200 rpm but all that is corrected it is now pig rich with a A/F of 10.8 just to be sure I blow it up just yet. also the timing is low at 14 degrees.

 

Blaine forgot to tell you that he is making more power with less timing and running real rich

These Magnum Power blowers are great.
