The Resurrection: 94 Firebird Formula

sooooooo....not sure if the fuel solenoid was working on that run. she was a bit lean so we were checking everything over yesterday and found a broken wire feeding 12v to the fuel solenoid :( so far none of the plus (atleast 1-3-5-7) just have a very slight peppering on the porcelan but the strap looks pretty good.

new plugs on the way. of course i have nitrous now and new rear et street r drag radials and it looks like it is going to rain all weekend. atco tnt tomorrow night i dont think i can make

Hey Fred, wake up!

10.15 on 200, track couldnt hold it on the hit though [emoji24]

Went to Lebanon valley for an open rental today. Wish it was Atco and stickier. Car went 11.65 at 118.2 on motor off the trailer. Sprayed 2 passes on 150 shot, first was 10.39 at 130.6! i picked up 4 mph on the same tune up.

Next pass was a 10.49 with a bad 60ft. I then decided to try 175hp but i couldnt find my 175hp jet. So in went 200hp pills and yea,

10.15 at 134.10!

Wooooot. So close! if i would have had a 1.42 60ft like the island 10.34 pass, it wouldve been 10.0x's

This thing is F**K**G FAST!

This week and next need to go over the car, have a pesky oil leak from the front end of the motor. it sprayed oil from somewhere on that 10.49 pass. Might be time to redo the oil pan gasket as well.

Thank you @Injuneer for trusting me with this machine. Thank you @NightTrain66 for the custom solid roller.

Where did you find the nitrous refill?

My calculation showed the 300-shot running 9.75 @ 139. Guess it’s possible……

Thanks for showing us what it can do. Much better than looking at calculations!

Awesome runs, time slip clearly shows the 200 shot can easily put it in the 9's. Your reaction time of 1.179 on the 10.15 run makes me think that you could have easily dipped in the 9's ?
Thanks for sharing.

Reaction time has no bearing on E/T. I could sit in the beams for 5 minutes as long as they don't reset and still run the same number as I would if I cut a perfect tree. As he mentioned, get the 60 ft down and it's in the 9s.

Oh ok, I guess my way of thinking was skewed. Please ignore and carry on.

my reaction time was being lazy. reaction time has nothing to do with time down the track, track doesn't start counting your actual pass time until you leave the beams

changed the bottle mounting. vertical was a pain in the ass, also i think the dip tube was getting uncovered on a pass, looking at the datalog i have rich spikes and the car felt surgy up top on the 10.15, weighed the bottles at the shop and the 2nd 200 shot pass 10.29 at 134.14 i only used 2lbs? figured id use atleast 3lbshttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3d7b61a878.jpg

Yep, I was corrected already.
Great run.
Carry on.
