QLD Winter Willowbank Drags 7-07-2010

Well I'd like to beat my 12.7. Might borrow some slicks.

 

Question regarding measuring reaction times.
First a quote form the Willowbank site:

So does this mean my reaction time for my 2nd run of .177 is worse than my very first reaction time of .471?

 

I don't believe reaction times really matter if your going to test'n'tune?

 

you fouled on your 2nd run

 

i'm not running

but i will be there to see my car go down the 1/4 mile, keen to see the results after Eric hooks up the turbos to my NA

 

You're right, but I like to do the best I can when it's something that's in my control

That's the conclusion I came to after reading that, but I wasn't given a red light... oh well I'll aim for .4xx next time

 

All you really need to worry about is getting your 60ft down. Reaction time is good to practice if you're racing, otherwise, concentrate on getting a quicker time.

 

I'll squeeze this into whatever date you decide.
Bout time the Z had a casual putter down the track

 

It's locked in for the 7th. Looking forward to seeing what yours does down the 1/4

 

GO THE BLUES! Hope they win, but only just, so more people will watch Origin 3 and less people will (hopefully) be at W'bank

 

We meeting at Willowbank, or Goodna Macca's or what?

 

PSA anyone? no idea what stage my Z will be at around this date.

 

Well depends on what everyone wants to do. Goodna Maccas suits me as I'm on annual leave then but those coming from work might have difficulty making the meet point on time?

 

What time are you aiming for?

 

Leaving Goodna Maccas 5pm, so anytime before that, probably 4:45ish.

 

Ah ok, yeah I won't be able to make that. See everyone there.

 

ahhhhh noeee. might not make this one as my boost controller is being hyperactive. the car just wont stop boosting! so i dont really want to blow my engine up and im just driving it around off boost for the time being. might come out and spectate tho.

 

Pull it out and stick a couple of welding tips in the wastegate vac lines You can still race and the boost with behave

 

Just get a $20 turbotech for now They work pretty good.

 

That actually doesn't do anything. It will still free boost as there's no boost pressure to govern the gates. Boost pressure is used to lower the peak boost level by opening the waste gates, and bleeding it off lowers the pressure to the waste gates which allows them to remain closed for longer, giving you more boost. Shoving tips into the waste gate lines alone is like getting more horsepower from stickers. Even blocking the lines off completely will make little difference.

Just buy a GFB Atomic manual bleeder. They are cheap and they work well.
