Our best run of the day was this one, we had a better run by a 1/10th at the 1/8th mile earlier in the day but the gear knob came off in Thomas hand and he missed the 3rd to 4th and still run a 10.8 at 104 We'll be adding some more boost tomorrow as we were at 26psi today hence the low mph of 131
Well today wasn't the day as the very next run was a disappointing ....... Got back to the pits and did the routine compression test and it was showing No 2 was 10psi down compared to the last run....so a leakdown proved that there was definitely an issue......head off and we eventually found that exhaust was bent and the seat had moved............luckily we found a company who hopefully are fiting 8 new seats for tomorrow afternoon, so we should get back out Sat :thumbup:
We're back in the game again thanks to out-standing service and turnaround from Cylinder Head Services who we use for certain jobs, we defintley had a bit of lady luck on our side as they had just taken an Aston Martin head off the machine as I rung, thus they could slot us in. So harder & bigger seats have been fitted.........so hopefully if the weather holds off and they're not to many oil downs we might get a couple runs in this evening
The Barnes brothers have been watching drag racing since they were 7........., they've spent the last 5 years working on Blown Pro Mod cars. So when we did the turbo conversion it was with a lot of thought that we could at the worse case change a piston quickly.....I think they were averaging 15-20 mins to get the head off
