@beefystik Thats about it, gears. I saw a car run 1/8th at a 1/4 track the other day, they went 5.20 by the 1/8th mile marker and coasted the last half of the track and it STILL went 8:60 in the 1/4 LOL, I think I will have to try that.
@dragracer3 Good question, I think my pump is worn out as even with the pressure maxed out (only goes to 16 pounds) it cant keep up to the engine and nitrous at the same time, if you listen to the in car sound you can hear the engine rpm pulsate during almost the entire run, that is the nitrous fuel pressure safety switch turning the nitrous on and off because of low pressure, next year it will have a bigger better pump.
@tigerhorns Low fuel pressure was causing the nitrous safety switch to turn the system off and on during the run, nice to know theres more to expect from this car.
the lencodrive 3 speed with reverser is approx 108 pounds idk if the Bruno is heavier or lighter but that's the lencodrive I'm using to tell weight. how much does your PG weigh in at?
What about the steering wheel? The way it turns? Not sure how to say it in english but does this allow you to have more force on the direction to keep your wheels straight?
Sounds like you could do with borrowing a pump to test out the 16 lb limit, and if it's not that start looking a 'hunting' / 'bounce' & control gear interface problems, may be even the bore size of the fuel lines......ok ok i'm shooting the breeze. Wish you well with it ......Hay, like the great Canadian vista, from the tail mounted camera........those mole hills looked tall ! ! ! Regards Bob
Must admit I could not hear it for sure, until what sonds like the final few yard at 3.14 - 3.16 only a second or so before you remove your clog. Is it the pumps, or is it the control gear 'hunting' & some 'bounce' in the rest or the fuel system, pulcing of the fuel line ? I had a conversation with a mechanic about over length brake pipes and he said the added length would give added bounce in the system. We are back to the discussion over the intermediate tank on the front bumper !
@magna59 Yes we are back to that front pump discussion arent we? I should make a video about the safety pressure switch for the nitrous fuel, I've got it set to shut the nitrous system down when fuel pressue is down to four pounds, then when it shuts off less fuel is used, pressure rises and the nitrous activates again, during this run it may have happened two or three times a second. I dont like to run it like that so less nitrous till I fix it.
584 light and a 1.185 60ft? very nice groutaone. Also, it looks like your shifting it yourself now, still that ignition gremlin with the dedenbaer? And maybe it was just the camera but it almost sounded like the car was pulsing or breaking up a bit, like an unsteady fuel/nitrous feed? Possibly that fuel delivery issue? Car seemed super strong though so its odd
@427ImportEater I must say you have a good ear, and a good eye. Yes I shift it now and then no troubles with the ignition, also you are right about the pulsating RPM, The nitrous was bouncing off the fuel pressure safety switch, I think my fuel pump is wore out as it maxes out at only 16 pounds, new monster pump for next year
@magna59 Good question, I think my pump is worn out as even with the pressure maxed out (only goes to 16 pounds) it cant keep up to the engine and nitrous at the same time, if you listen to the in car sound you can hear the engine rpm pulsate during almost the entire run, that is the nitrous fuel pressure safety switch turning the nitrous on and off because of low pressure, next year it will have a bigger better pump.
Good grief!! 1.18 60'?!? That's WILD! Great job on the vid man! Can't wait till it cools off and we can get back out to the track. Motor build otta be done on mine next month :D :D :D
@rekjavicxxx Thanks buddy, how long does the race season last out where youre at? Out here I think there is sometimes one at the beginning of october but thats it as winter wins out over drag racing.
@805ROADKING Thanks my friend, I must say I really do appreciate how you have supported my channel for the last year or more. Thats what utube is about, people and friends, makes it fun.
That was great! You know what would be cool?? If you could show a heart beat monitor as you are about to launch then watch it climb! lol Wonder how high it goes? Good job!
@cubbeezx Lol, I'am sure it would go up a bit, I've got a lot of passes in this car so its not so bad, as the nitrous is used more and more I'am not always sure what to expect, but it sure is fun finding out.
@groutaone nope but i did get to drive it on the street for a couple months.
also last night i saw the weirdest thing. someone was driving a street legal stock car on the road. had lights and a plate but didnt catch where it was from. looked like a nascar.
@michaelovitch Ya it looks kind of big and clunky hanging there, its a plastic unit so I think its about a pound and sometimes it can come in handy while sitting and waiting your turn in line. You are so right about the need to loose useless weight.
@groutaone yea butt not latley other then 2 day had 2 fix the exsost bracket i really want 2 butt im fixing my 77 plymouth volare up so there goes the money i was saveing 4 the caprice one day shel be flying down the track :)
shouted you out in my last video because of you helping me out like you did in the past. mostly as a way to let you know i appreciated all the help you gave not sure if it helped any or not thought but i tried any way. Dude you were racing against was seriously out matched lol not bad at all on the time either was this the 1/8th mile again?
@daddytech Thanks buddy, I really appreciate that. This is 1/8th mile and it would work out to a near high seven in the 1/4, but I think my gears would mess that up a bit
@bonzo9303204406 Thanks man, It took a while to get the feel for it but its a never ending education process as not all runs are the same, but this kind of school is fun lol
@groutaone Yes i can hear it very well. When you get it sorted out it'll go in the 4's for sure. My car was doing that too. After i got it working it picked up over 1/2 second in the 1/8th.
cool
