New Time with Headers

[Hammer]

I added some Watson headers over the winter and took the car out for the first time yesterday. I was rewarded with a best of 12.532 @ 112.79. Best time last year here in Boise was 12.959 @ 109.17. That's a gain of .427 in ET and 3.62 MPH.

I think the headers were a good addition. They sound great and the cars pulls really well through the gears. There might be better times available as I noticed the clutch slipping on the way home. I'll get that replaced and try again later.

Good times John.

On the clutch, you may have just overheated it some. Take it out later and load it up and see if you can get it to slip.

Great run John, looks like what you thought it should be.

Thanks guys. I like the term stout Ryan, that's cool.

Needless to say I'm looking forward to the Gathering and some near sea level runs. I'm thinkin' 12.30's @ 118 will be possible based on what I picked up there last year. Whoopee, come on PNW Gathering.

That's exactly what I was hoping for Rick. Now you gotta plan on going to PIR at the Gathering so we can get you hooked.

Right at 7k. I've only run three times so haven't got a chance to see what 6500 will do for the times. I ran my best at PIR shifting at 6500. Hope to get a new clutch in it and try again on May 10th.

Hammer,

Put a scantool on the car during a run. See if there's any KR going on?

If you still do not have port work, I think you will do better @ 64-6500 rpm.
