Looks good!!!! :) When are you going to launch it on the "brake"? :teeth:
It sounded like it skipped, or something on the 1-2????

Wow! Was that the only pass you made? I wonder what it will run with a good launch and all "three" gears! LOL!
How is the lowend with that blower?
I've sold my Novi and am considering many blowers right now. Not sure what to buy.
- I have a line on a Driver side NOVI 2000 kit with cogs
- Brand New D2R
The issue with the D2R is if it is strong and how well will it work on my setup (hydraulic roller--6500 shift, etc) Also will need inlet and discharge tubes,plus bypass so the cost will go up for the D2R.
Ultimately, I think the D2R will go faster, but not sure?
I'd like to get down in the mid 8's
I think we will find out the next time out what it will run under a more ideal situation.
Low end is enough for me to handle. Hammers me pretty good and 60's are in the 1.4's on the footbrake. My slicks have probably seen better days though as they are almost out of rubber and getting on 3 years old now. Time to replace.
The D-2R is pretty strong since it uses the D-3 series bearings, as opposed to the D-2 which has the smaller bearings.
Mine is a hydraulic roller also and I will be shifting at 6600 with the cog setup. Was going 7000 on the serpentine but I know there was belt slip with it.
I am pretty sure the D-2R will outperform a 2000 given the same setup and spinning both to their sweet spot. Mid 8's should be possible with the right combination of things. Mine could use some upgrades at this point and mid 8's could be achieved without a problem. My heads are some old tech from TEA and they should be upgraded as well as maybe a more agressive solid roller. The blower has the flow though.
What pulley setup are you using? The max impeller speed rating is 53,000---right? I'm wondering how hard you can spin these and how high I would be able to (considering the fact that I don't have an intercooler).
......not yet that is ;-)
I don't have the pulley numbers handy but will post them tomorrow. I set it up to max the blower (53,000) at 6800 on the motor so I will shift at 6600 at first to see how high the RPM goes between shifts. I don't think the blower ever saw max RPM with the serpentine setup but the new ET's and MPH should prove that one way or the other. Talk to you tomorrow.
Simply awesome!!

Thanks, I appreciate that.

Okay, the pulleys are 73/42.
WOW!! I'm looking at a setup that has the same pulleys! Our combos are very similar so it might work well. The only issue is I"m not intercooled yet. Have you measured your inlet temps before/after the intercooler?
Have you leaned on the tune at all yet? What is your boost, timing, and air/fuel set at? Thanks for all the info---Take care and as always, YOUR CAR IS BAD ***!!!! ;-)

Even with an intercooler it would not be wise to boost the engine very much on 91 or 93 octane. That stuff is plain crap.Quote:

The A/F is set at 11.5:1 and I run 20 degrees of timing at maximum boost. It is a safe tune and would keep the motor healthy for a long time like this. I will probably run a "kill" tune on one of my future outings but for now I am enjoying the ride and not worrying too much about breaking the motor.
John
Thanks John! :) That was where I was going to start (20 degrees total/11.5:1). You're only seeing 22psi? Wow, I thought it would be alot higher.
I'll let you know what happens. You planning on running this weekend?

Not going this coming weekend but maybe the one after.
OH! :laugh: I thought you had the cog on it already! Or at least in that vid...

Nothing like needing a parachute with a "little ole" small block and a blower with serp belt! That car is going to fly!!! :D
Do you have brakes on that yet?! Sheez, you're going to need them if you don't! :laugh:

Cool! Thanks for the info. Still need to get something for my car too. Keep us posted on your car
P.S. What happened to all of those pics you had posted on this forum? I go on there and the post is there, but the pics are gone!? Am I misssing something? Thanks.

Hey guys,
The easiest way to see the pics is to click on View my Images under each users name. That way you can see their photopost.
As for the ones that were linked right into the forum, I will have to see why it keeps moving Johns pics..
Ian
John---any updates yet? I can't wait to see what that car does with a cog on it! :teeth:
It is official! I am now a proud member of the "D2R" club!!! :cool:
3 strong... :rolleyes: :laugh:
Take care guys!!! Hope everyones goals are going their way.
