Race Day!

[wildbill]

The first club race at Firebird (Boise, Idaho) is today. I race with the local Mopar club. I can't wait to try my new setup. Hopefully my new drag radials will help me have a more consistant launch. I plan to use a 100hp nitrous shot this year. Should be fun and the weather is supposed to be very good today!

I will take some pics of the action. There are some really nice mopars out there. I am hoping to run a faster this year. Best last year was 12.76 at 112mph with street tires (just idleing off the line) and the 100hp nitrous shot.

I think I need to work on my nitrous/fuel mixture. No bottle heater with a high temp today of 50 degrees. Fuel pressure 8 psi. My Edelbrock nitrous manual says jet sizes based on 5.5 psi. Had about 6.5 last year when I ran the 12.76 on street tires.
There is a test and tune tomorrow. I plan to set fuel pressure at 7psi and timing retard at 4 degrees (set at 5 degrees today). Hopefully these changes will help my time and mph a little.
I took several pics, will post them soon.
