54 deg F and a 10 mph headwind. Not too bad.

The first run had a better reaction time but longer 1/4 time. Is that from head wind or track conditions?

Nevermind I didn't read the bottom of you original post. That's pretty big difference!

Head, you are so close to goin under that 13.7 mark. better reaction time and you could smoke that, mabye even 13.5 range 8O 8O

The reaction times aren't factored in to the timeslip. On that particular run the tires chirped just a bit on the launch so that may have been the difference. If the wind wouldn't have been blowing I'm sure it would have run a 13.6. I got my fan controller in finally. It's going to be towards the end of the month before I can get those on. I want to build a bracket for them so I don't have to run those plastic strips through the radiator fins to mount it.

Did you install your Volant with or without the Hyperflow intake tube ?

:D

Without. We get a lot of rain here and at times, it dumps 3 or more inches in an hour so you more or less drive through some water every once and a while. I just don't like the idea of sucking water up because I wouldn't think about it until after the fact.

I also have put tow hooks on my ride so I'd have to sell those off. But I sure like the way they look.

Once the electric fans go in, I might have more room to run a not-so-squished-and-bent pipe. If that is the case, I'll run a dryer hose or PVC pipe to get like a 3" or bigger hose for it. For use at the track, only.

Head, are you going to try the TB spacer that JT tested with screen off? i wonder if the low end power that he gained from it would translate to a better qt mile time? you would be the best person to test this out because you could also test it with the nos on :D

Actually I would consider removing the screen only. I'm not a big fan of the throttle body spacers since the plenum area is usually where the most gains on a fuel injected manifold are made (unless the throttle body is too small).

What I'm thinking, and I could be way off, is that the ridges on the tb spacer act like some of those tornado things to increase mileage. The tornado becomes a restriction for power, but under light airflow conditions they seem to work for a lot of people (as far as mpg). I wouldn't use one myself, but some "snake oil" things do work for certain vehicles. The tb spacer doesn't really create a restriction in the system per se, so I don't think they really do much for power but I can see the ridges maybe doing something to help with mileage. I plan on removing my tb and looking at the screen and further inside the intake to see what the innards look like before I just pop it out.

let us know how removing the screen works out for you, like better times or anything :D
