Turbo Cat New Best

Well made a few changes over the winter and now trying to
get the new combo to hook.


 Well I have 2 diffrent tunes with 2 diffrent boost levles.

 OK So on 11lbs of boost she ran  10.66  @ 129 MPH with 1.70 60 ft

 The 2nd tune/boost level is 16 lbs
She ran  10.43 @ 135 MPH with a 1.56 60ft time leavin on 5lbs of boost. 
 Pretty happy with that seeing how she tips the scales @ 3705lb without a driver and 1/2 tank of fuel.

 So never being happy I tried to leave on 10lbs of boost the end
results were a twisted/broken driveshaft  which in turn cut the
air line for the frt air ride which dropped the car on the down pipes.

 So now we have a custom driveshaft on order from Strange.

 Hope to have it in by middle of next week to get some more
testing in before we head to Memphis in May for Pinks All Out

Gumby:  The brake feel better than ever. Great feedback from the pedal now. Stops
evenly.  I had to do some grinding on the calipers on the rear to get the 15in wheels on
but its all good now.

Mass;  It would be great to get that far, but I really doubt I'll be consist enough. I've been praticing.

 Hopeful I won't pratice breaking any more parts.    LOL

You are going to find that if you keep the weight of the car at it's max street weight then it will consistantly be breaking drivetrain parts. I had to move to the drive shaft with heavy duty U joints and yokes. The rearend and tranny is what I started having issues with after that.


WOW!!! that cat must really pull hard throughout the 60ft to the 1320....You have got to love the face distorting mid range torque a turbo adds. I envy you turbo guys when it comes to serious times...but growing up in the Buick world, consistency just does not happen for turbo cars. They are a heads up piece all the way.

I have the trans covered I hope it has a 1500 HP rated AOD and the rear end is
 a 9in with a Nodular center section, 31 spline spool with a Daytona bearing support with
Moser axles

 Yeah the car is more of a gee wiz kinda ride. My other car is more of a bracket racing
car, but I lost it to my wife and son.

This car is truly amazing to see run, even when it doesnt hook. 10s with all the comfort items and air ride.

Hope everything goes well at Pinks. Wish they were coming back this year, I thought the turn out was pretty good. Guess not if they arent coming back.

Nice runs. That track looks a little narrow!
