60 Foot Practice With Transbrake

forensicsteve · April 10th, 2008, 04:57 PM

There was a stiff headwind last night against the racers and loads of humidity from the Gulf. We knew without the race tune, car would not provide any surprises, so Lance took it out and practiced using the transbrake. He made 5 runs, all 1.5s in the 60ft. Race tune coming very soon though...

you leave hard man... seams like it take a second (not literally) for your suspension to settle... what shocks do you have up front?excuse me, struts...

would that happen to be the steeda cowl hood

It's a 4 inch functional cervini. At the time I bought it, the 2.5 inch was not available. Think the smaller one would have been enough. It's awkward for street driving, although you see a lot of very fast track vehicles use the 4 inch.

shocks do you have up front

Have QA1 dual adjustable shocks all way around and a bunch of other stuff. The battery is in the trunk, the skinnies, and of course the ample torque, all help lift the front come up. The car is launching at 11 lbs boost or about 530 rear wheel torque. Even with the race tune, the launch boost will likely remain at 11 lbs, then increase quickly to hopefully 20 lbs or whatever the fuel system can tolerate (GT500 dual pumps and two single KB boost a pumps). TUrbo can put out about 30 pounds and block can handle that, but the fuel won't allow.

you leave hard man

The launches are hard. It's a combination of 9 inch rearend, trutrac, large slicks, torque again, and the transbrake. Transbrake is really hard on a transmission. The 3 speed race automatic (full manual valve body + transbrake) was rated at 900 hp. We sent it back recently to be further reinforced.

Very nice.

qwik48r · April 10th, 2008, 09:30 PM

what do you have? powerglide/lenco and about 4500 stall? 373s?

05mustang_TT_charged · April 10th, 2008, 10:31 PM

a built 4STB-E and think he has a 3200 stall and 4.11's

That car will be a bracket racing machine, it is constant between 11.0 and 11.2 every run and the race tune should easily put that beast in the 9's

06TYRFRYR · April 10th, 2008, 10:36 PM

good job steve, I have been following your build for some time on one of the other forums. curious to see what it will do with an agressive tune

qwik48r · April 10th, 2008, 11:07 PM

congrats!

qwik48r · April 10th, 2008, 11:11 PM

is it a trailer car?

05mustang_TT_charged · April 10th, 2008, 11:14 PM

nope he drives it everyday, they trailer it to the track so they don't have to change tires when they get there but it's a driver.

Good thing they bring the trailer along though

qwik48r · April 10th, 2008, 11:16 PM

lucky bastards....

05mustang_TT_charged · April 10th, 2008, 11:19 PM

not me!!!!

I babied the car for 2 passes making sure everything was ok and then went to break Steven's best and broke the rear end. But I did enjoy watching his car yank the tires every pass

qwik48r · April 10th, 2008, 11:21 PM

im trying to tell myself i dont need a supercharger... but they are so convinient...

05mustang_TT_charged · April 10th, 2008, 11:22 PM

a supercharger or turbo, I have no doubt when he gets the car tuned with some real boost and gets the fuel to feed the car he will be giving Justin Burcham a run for his money

06TYRFRYR · April 11th, 2008, 11:54 PM

I'm curious to know how much fuel you have to have to keep from running lean on launch. I am now pulling 1.49 60' times on 150 shot and If I dont have at least 3/4 tank it will run out of fuel on launch and I get a big nasty nitrous backfire. I am contemplating building a custom fuel cell
