You got yer work cut out for you this winter Abe.

Phantom Grip, Larger HE, Drag Slicks, NO2.....

Get that bad boy into the 11's

 

yes congrats to Harry!!!

 

hehehe...I think this is as far as I will bring her. I thought about a wet shot but it really is "fast enough" at this point.

 

ewwwww chris hansen creeps me out.

 

Is he on the forum?
Also, what exactly is this - Potentiometer mods to MAF sensor?

 

I think that's implying that he found his voltage to be maxing out on his intake air sensor. He must have upped the sensor that was in there...maybe one from an SL55?

It's also possible he was just wanting a cushion, to prevent a lean condition or allow for future mods, and his voltage wasn't QUITE getting maxed out with his current configuration.

 

Checked the email and it looks like it is our Screaminjoe from Orlando. The time tickets are from Orlando and are time stamped at around 9AM TODAY 20/DEC/2007

 

Wow, he got them posted up before he even made the runs?! DANG! I guess he really IS fast!!!

 

Harry is a friend of Screaminjoe. I've meet them both. I don't think Harry is a member of this forum either.

 

Looks like from the pic he has some wider tires with different rims on back. It doesn't look like drag radials, but some brands have more thread than others. If they are drag radials that may be the difference from Abe's time. The track is also only 66 feet above sea level, which makes all the difference. Way to take advantage of the track and weather. Humidity is the only negative factor for your track. With it around 30% you might shave another tenth or more. Here comes the 11's.

Good catch. He also cut some of his lower grills out (might have to enlarge the pic to see what is going on there).

 

I think that is for his water/rubbing alcohol spray. I'm just going off of his previous threads earlier in the year. I think those are universal windshield wiper nozzles mounted on the spoiler to cool down the intercooler radiator? He was saying it dropped the temps to the supercharger by a whole lot, and improved performance. He added a washer tank behind the passenger seat and I assume plumbed from there. Now that's what was posted about his car back in Jan 07, but again I'm assuming he did this to his friends car. The one that posted the record. Anyone's guess who was driving? Nice to have the track on a Friday morning. Maybe he will shed some light on the thread. Darn sea level tracks.

He's probably manipulating or changing the milliamp current that is generated by the MAF and sent to the computer.

 

there is no MAF on this vehicle...only a MAP sensor and IAT sensor...

so either his information is incorrect or he is blowing smoke... :y

 

Here is the thread from earlier this year. Seems like alot of people had renntech pulleys and other mods back then. Not sure why no one hit the low 12's before now. Maybe there are more roundy roundy fans here. Look like the straight guys are prevailing now. Does mention MAF, but not what he put the potentiometer's on.

Some of us that have a possible low 12's or even a high 11's car with Renntech kits and other mod's have never had their cars to the track. I for one have not and there is not a lot of dought in my mind that if I could get some traction out of the hole, I think I could get pretty close to that 11 mark. I'm going to be looking for some tire's during the winter that will get some bite, my PS2's just won't bite at all. IT'S GOING TO THE NEXT YEAR .

 

A potentiometer by nature provides a changing current (usually milliamp) based on input.

this explains it a little better......

Many automotive sensors are "potentiometers" by definition.
