Thumbs up It's OFFICIAL, I'm faster than VINNIE :o)

THE SAGA CONTINUES



I'm #239
Vinnie is #4940

YES FOLKS I NOW WHOOPED VINNIE'S BUTT
WOO HOO

Oh Ya, I also made 2 passes, AND RAN (2) 11's
WOO HOO

THE RACE TESTED KIT ROCKS



SHORT VERSION:
Weather report changed to DEF rain in the afternoon
Gates didn't open till 12:00 (rain expected in afternoon hours)
I THOUGHT the window was going to be a short one so V and
me agreed the best thing was to run it hot straight off the
150 mi ride there to see what it would run. We also decided to make it WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING other than slicks. NO WEIGHT REDUCTION, NO COOL DOWN, NO NOTHING. I had AT LEAST a hundred extra lbs on top of that in Tools, Cooler, Camera's,
Air Comp, track crap, etc....

So since I HAVE NOT been able to run another 11 since that
OH SO PERFECT DAY, and have actually gone backwards to 12.1
and 12.0, the last few times out, I decided the 100HP jets were
going in.

You have to remember that the new kit DOES NOT launch at 100%, so for @ 1/5th of the run you are less HP than the zex @75HP. (60HP to be exact). You also have to remember I am using a exact 2 to 1 ratio of Fuel to Nitrous with my jetting, that is more fuel than the Zex jetting ratio and my guess is the over all difference is prob @15-20 HP more for SOME of the run, CLEARLY NOT ALL OF IT.

Of course the reason I bought the Race Tested Kit, is because of these adjustments and tunability options I didn't have with my former Zex Kit. (Plus I was maxed out at 75HP with Zex, and I needed MORE, my kit was a 55/65/75 HP)

So the goal was consistant 11's

and the results were

2 passes,
2 FRESH NEW 11's,
AND A VERY HAPPY OWNER OF THE RACE TESTED KIT

WOO HOO

Are you going to sell your trailer for a built motor when your stock engine blows?

Technically he's faster, but you're quicker. Very nice runs. Next time do the bong hit after the race, instead of before. What's up with that reaction time?

Sounds like you guys had a great time.
