I ran the clobberthon tonight and managed my usual first round exit. The car seemed like it may just run a string of 6.20's tonight with 3 6.30X's in a row@109mph with 1.41-1.42 60fts. Well first round came around and the air temp dropped. Cool I thought the car likes cool air. I got in the right lane since my car 60ft'd better in the right lane. I cut a decent light .488vs.508 the next thing I know is I am looking at the sky. :eek: Well it lasted about 50 ft according to the video thats when it bogged and came back down. I ran a 6.39 to his peddling 6.35.
I did some testing afterwards and I tightened the front struts up one click and lowered the launch rpms down to 4800. That help but it still pulled the wheels quite a bit, and had a slight bog and it only ran a 6.32@108.99 that run. I added one more click to the struts and put the launch rpms back up to 5000 and see how it worked. The car pulled the wheels just a tad and set them right back down and was on a nice run. The last run was a 1.4160ft with a 6.29@109.33.
I am thinking the bogging is fuel related and may be coming out of the vent tube under hard acceleration and being so high in the air. I am gonna try and crossover hose to see if it helps. Anyone else have any ideas?
