The guy said it's a good thing I didn't drive Red like he was out of the box, it was about 6 times too lean, it woulda burned a piston very soon. And WOW, I'm going to have to learn how to shift smooth again at throttle, a whole new ballgame. WOW, just WOW.
We're going to pass somebody on the track with that, we sure are.Charter member of the Turd Nuggets

Awesome! Hopefully mine will come back to life this saturday. I finally found a free weekend to wrench on it. I just need to finish a little wiring, plumb up the heat exchanger, and change over the supercharger pulley, oh and double check the fuel pump modifications(no pun intended).
Now that im really thinking about it there are a few more things to add but im just excited I have some free time to spend in the shop!
Hope you and Sue get some free time to put some worry free miles on Red and enjoy.CHECK US OUT AT:

The dyno computer said he got Red up to 140 MPH right then, sitting still. Yep. Red's Reddy. Whatta deal. GYAH, this is why we did that, y'all all said the whole time, this is why. Easy to forget along the way. There it is. Yep! There it is.

Dyno Daddy said, to paraphrase, "Torque gets you going, but horsepower KEEPS you going." Whatever that means. He said run it to the redline. The pull in the video is not the last pull, he made one more adjustment and did another pull. He lowered the rev limiter. He saw that the fuel pump(s) start falling off at around 6300, he fixed the rev limiter so we don't run it lean when it needs it the most. Lemme tell ya'll, this guy is GOOD. He's done this before. Lots of times on lots of different cars. GYAH Red is ready.Last edited by pdub; March 2, 2017, 03:08 PM.Charter member of the Turd Nuggets

I absolutely agree with his tuning choice. In LSR we've seen drag racing guys get in trouble with a peaky drag strip tune. They run at WOT for a few seconds on the strip whereas we run at WOT for a minute or more depending on how fast the car is. I've heard Keith tell guys to "reconsider their tune" - the smart ones do and the dumb ones, well, we pick up rods off the track.
So a great choice and that will be plenty to require a change or two of skivvies (remember to pack same). It will now be possible to exit a turn backwards so sneak up on it!
Also, I'm SO proud of you and Sue and SM for sticking this out. I hope you've learned that you can do more than you think you can. You ARE capable. The fact that you brought in some outside help - well, we pretty much all do.
How's the fuel leak deal?
