Default Pinks All Out..Montgomery 11/15/08

I'm signed up, is anybody else entered? Or going to watch. Should be fun.
Still have alot to do. Putting in some seats and 4 point cage...not really enough but maybe they will let me slide by.

Vince is working on the trans, making it a Level 5 with a brake

Well Pinks all out was fun!! It was the typical deal you here about though...I'll try to make a long story short.

Vince does ahell of a job on my trans
I get it Wednesday about 2:00 pm, get it in and a few other things finished up it starts raining.
Thursday rain stops, I go to the dyno check everything, it's all good.
We leave Thursday afternoon...get there go make a pass.
F*#kin pro tree kicks my ***... needed more practice with the trans brake.
No more passes till Friday...get up there forget to turn off the Line loc... push thru and redlight. Truck is kind of a dog out of the hole...check the log pulling timming for some reason...Jeremy gets there adjusts the tune...finally make another pass...nothing changes
When all else fails..ADD BOOST
Now it the first time with the arm drop start...Building boost on the line... he drops...Wahoo its on a record pass...big noise..i let out get back in it twice cross the traps @ 80% throttle...10.80 they aren't giving slips now so i don't know anything but what buddies are telling me.
They pick the 9.60 / 9.80 group... I'm done.
Looking around the engine Sunday I see some coolant on the block so I figure it lifted a head...log only shows 13.9 boost, but thats the most it ever showed...didn't get to watch the boost gauge but I know it was higher than that.
Anyway I went to have fun and it was fun...if you get the chance to be in PAO...do it.

Hate to hear about your misfortune. I know how it is to thrash on something to get it ready for a race, think it's ready and dosn't perform like it is supposed to at the track. Glad to hear you had fun anyway and the truck is moving for sure. I wanted to come up but just had too many things going on along with the truck being broke again.

Yep, that's why it went lean and detonated. Only having a 2 bar map and fueling set up for it, your not adding any more. The 2 bar will only register ~+14.7 psi, so accounting for some resolution and voltage errors, i'd say that 13.9 is ~14.7.
