See picture below of Wiley Coyote with his power adder.

Light em Up!

Arcy, I should commend you on going "green". Most of us heathens like to burn fossil fuels in order to go real fast.

I'm with the Wiley Coyote theory strap on some extra power and hang on!

Wow, what a difference tires make. I know I can't hang with you big (block) dog's and the turbo crowd, but man, these new tires, it's like cheating. Dropping a full second and getting into the 11's for the cost of 2 new tires, pretty inexpensive way to go. Now....can I get NOS installed by May 8th....

By the way, Arcy was launching very hard - he is working some bugs out of the system, but he has a few surprises in store for May 8th. I think he has some new parts under the hood!

CHRIS DAMSCH 04-19-2010 06:55 PM

Good Job Jim.

How did Arcy run?

I know he was there.....................

Jimbocobra 04-19-2010 07:33 PM

Arcy was having trouble with a hose on the new turbo, so he wasn't really finishing the runs. He was pretty happy though before shutting it down halfway down the track and still beating cars. I think he wants to keep it a secret and work the bugs out of the system for the 8th. I wouldn't bet him based on last falls numbers, he has a few tricks up his sleeve.
He is one he!! of a nice guy too.

CHRIS DAMSCH 04-19-2010 07:43 PM

You're on his payroll aren't you?

Arcy is a nice guy. SLOW, but a nice guy. LOL

I couldn't resist.

Did he say RC is a "nice guy?" :o He doesn't know Arcy yet, does he? :eek:

The new turbo is making a lot more air in the system and kept blowing off the intercooler hose. I'll try to remap it and add more fuel.
That should do it. (hopefully)

Don't be holding back, what was Arcy running? Chris, I bet he broke again and will be out another year.

LRRCobradreamer 04-20-2010 08:33 AM

Erik at least another year.:eek:

Chris my best run of the day was 14.8 all motor.
So you guys in the 10 and 11 second club, don't have a thing to worry about

EMK 04-21-2010 08:06 AM

I was never worried. I hope you feel better getting a practice run in before everyone else. Did you unplug the fan to go all motor?

Jimbocobra 04-21-2010 10:42 AM

A couple pics from last week at Byron to get the blood flowing

Yeah I wasn't the only one.

Besides i gotta work out the bugs in the new motor.:p

Had no choice the turbo kept blowing out the intercooler hose.

No boost , all motor. 14.8 v6 power 1/2 throttle

EMK 04-22-2010 08:05 AM

Oh yeah, that's nothing. Yesterday I went to the track, I pulled all but one plug and idled to a 13.8 et. Not bad.

CHRIS DAMSCH 04-22-2010 10:15 AM

I heard Arcy became a man and put a Ford V 8 in

Bob Malmen 04-22-2010 05:33 PM

Hey Chris are you waiting until April 27 to install your LIL motor?:LOL:
