MAPerformance FDSM 8.21 @ 166mph

We were able to get out to the track one last time this year and we're pretty happy with the results. At the same boost level of 47psi we were able to gain 6mph with the only change being a compressor wheel upgrade from 80mm to 83mm, big thanks to the guys at Bullseye Power for getting us set up! Unfortunately due to severe traction issues above 50psi (video coming soon) we will have to wait until next spring to take another shot at the 7 second pass...

Cedar Falls has the best traction around, great place to get some times. 7's are only 6 months away.

Yes, very impressed. And he didn't panic and mash the brakes either.

The other cars driver said that he was starting to go sideways but decided to stay in it and hope it straightened out, it is a damn good thing he did!

Yeah, Chris was rather quiet for a little while after the close call, but he got back in to the car and did another partial pass after.

The car is amazing, and I foresee some 7.60's or so out of the car next season. I'm glad I was there to see it!

Oh, and the prep of the track for the first 200ft or so was amazing! They definitely do not skimp on VHT there!

Re: MAPerformance FDSM 8.21 @ 166mph

LOL he was quiet for awhile for sure. But I think it all went south when he hit 2nd gear with no traction.

Re: MAPerformance FDSM 8.21 @ 166mph

One more thing to think about... Are you sure you have your 4link set up right? I would think that with it properly set up you wouldn't be lifting the front tires so much.

This would be the other thing I was wondering about. Cars will lift up the front like that, but the wheelie bars maybe should be set closer to the ground. Plus, like they said, it was cold out. I saw some people at the starting line wearing jackets I think? Maybe they should just do a bigger burnout, haha.

Re: MAPerformance FDSM 8.21 @ 166mph

We're still nailing down the suspension setup, but our 60' times have improved every outing and I feel that 1.22 is pretty respectable ;) The traction issues were realized on the 1-2 shift and may have been worsened by a water leak from a blown head gasket, but that's hard to tell.

Re: MAPerformance FDSM 8.21 @ 166mph

This isn't the same blown headgasket that dropped your power at the dyno day, is it? My head was lifting and that's why I was down. Maybe it's time to o-ring your block too, if you haven't already, lol.
