Thanks! I had two wiring problems plaguing me all week. Ran great on the street, not so hot on the track!

Hey, Hemirunner I understand the " not so hot at the track " years ago my drag car was a 67 GTX on the road in front of my house it would scare you and at the track some little something would mess up that you could literally raise the hood and fix It was a 14 to 1
compression and high 10 second car. Wayne

Don’t sweat it. Turbo cars are complicated. You will have that thing flying high in no time. Oh and by the way IIRC it ran into the 9’s. Thats pretty hot to me!

I had a secondary injector pinned to the wrong location causing it lean out a cylinder and back fire. I got that sorted. Ran a few soft 5.93s with 1.5x 60’ times leaving in second gear on E85 with 7psi. Running 17psi out the back. It coasted through the 1/4 at 9.37 so that was encouraging.

Any progress on the Bird?

@Hemirunner
Your Roadrunner is so astonishing, everything about it.
I hope you will post an update.

The metalwork is complete. Still finishing up the body filler work. Hopefully it’ll have paint on it this October.

Thanks. So far it’s best is an 8.64 quarter mile. We ran it on pump E85 this summer. It performed flawlessly on the street.

Mid 8s and, AND "performed flawlessly on the street".
That is the epitome of a muscle car to me.
Beautiful, powerful, streetable.
Well done!

Nearly a decade later, we have color, lol

 

[Hemirunner]

And the wing

 

[Hemirunner]

Stepped up on turbo size so we’re now 3000hp capable….

I went with an optic armor panel for a screw in lexan rear window. Definitely adding the vinyl top.

Love the color. It's gonna be monster on the strip & street!

 

[Hemirunner]

Trim will be gloss black and will include all trim and the A-pillar covers

It was originally going to be hot rod black, but I decided it was a played out fad. I went with a really bright color instead. My green car is currently 12-1400 at the tire so this will definitely be a monster at 2500ish whp.

 

[Camoyj]

Can't wait to see it done!
