Hilborn EFI at the Track

[cdr]

People refer to , "Off the trailer pass",, Mine is "OFF the FREEWAY pass", LOL,170 miles round trip due to LOTS of road closures GRRRRR 1st pass was the best.
11.04 @ 123.07 4100lb race weight, Did some tuning & learned what it does NOT like, I forgot to raise the rev limit & still bumped it, even in high gear. I added & pulled timing & fuel, it likes 37 total timing & so far 12.6 AFR, still no 10.99 pass, I am sure with some more tuning it could get there, BUT thinking about my combination here are some points, it is only a 9.7-1 compression, Max Wedge ports,, HEAVY pig with a 28" tall tire & 3.54 gear, I truly believe that my car needs a 4.10 or there about gear, to do much better on the ET, this is a drive it anywhere true street car DA was in the 400ish

I love those.  Last time I did a day of carb and spacer testing.  How many passes did you get?

I only got 4, I brought some longer runners to try out but I ran out of gas, me ,not the car LOL, but the main thing was I had a great time & learned some things about my car.

It was a nice cool day, great for me , I dont get out very much because of the heat down here, one of the RARE pictures of me & my Charger.

Time to update your signature et. Congrats. The bump on the rev limiter cost you the 10.99. Any day at the track is a good day.

Awesome!!! Car keeps getting better and better. 

[Q5XX29]

Nice! Love your Charger.   

[TexasStroker]

Awesome...sounds great!  For a split second I thought the DA read out at 4,000 was thinking what is wrong down state?!

Hopefully you can squeeze in on a few more track rentals while it is still cool.  There should be quite a few with TX2k coming up!

1.5 60' with no rear shocks at the time of the pass, and a suspension that is good, but moreso setup for daily driving, begs to differ on your assessment of the driver.

Thank you everyone & also Joe for the encouragement

[firefighter3931]

Nice runs Charlie. The car hooks like a champ 

Hoping you see a 10.9xx slip soon !

Thanks Ron

Made me some 12in ram tubes for my Hilborn EFI, bought some bulk 2 1/2 inch stainless steel thin wall pipe, save myself about 300 bucks, these longer runners should get the car to leave harder & HOPEFULLY get a better 60 foot ,. I even made the bell end, using a bearing press & one of my old drum brake hubs, had the perfect taper to make the bell.
