Getting car Track ready

[cdr]

Well it was time to replace the MT Street R Drag Radials, 6k miles on them & they had become egg shaped, I guess I should have been lifting the rear when parked in the garage, especially after a long drive in the summer when they get VERY hot, I went with the same 325-50-15 but in the Hoosier brand DR, they seem VERY soft to the fingernail, so now waiting on a cool weather Track rental day, it is still pretty warm [HOT] here in Southeast Texas, so the next time out will be testing the new 4.10 gears it had 3.54 before & the new Hoosier's.

I also made a rear upper shock x member change, I bought a upper from RMS, that they use with the Street lynx 4 link set up, it is made to go in front of the Diff, I ordered mine without the upper arm welded tabs, turn it around backwards & install it in between the factory x member & it stands the shocks up more vertical. I had to remove my tail pipes for clearance, will have to do some modifications to the pipes , but will run with dumps for now, it is surprisingly quiet without them

The drivers 1/4 was no problem it is the original one, the Pass side I put on, & all 4 holes was very PAINFUL LOL

Still got to finish the trunk braces but got everything pretty much mocked up, the charger is now a wing car except the nose & rear window LOL.

Well ,, went to the track on Friday the 13th , track rental $200 bucks & was only able to do one run,,, not bad about 20 cars, no road closures or detours this time so it was only 126 mile round trip, weather was nice 1550 DA, want to just make an easy 1st pass with the new 4.10 gear, car leaves very nice & smooth, I get just past the 1/8 & it starts laying down & burpin & fartin, click it into Overdrive thinking I was floating the valves, that was not the case, me & my FUEL VOLUME problems LOL!!!! VERY glad I have a Data log system, lookin at the fuel cells the ECU was adding 80% + fuel & all I had to do was look at the log for the fuel pressure & THERE it was, went from 55 psi to 30 to 20 to 6 psi & soon as I lifted it went right back to 55 psi, I will do the same volume test that Dwayne had me do last time I had problems when it had a Carburetor, I REALLY think my Fuel filter cant keep up, I ordered a new large 460GPH EFI filter & will do a 55 psi volume test as it sits now & then with the new filter,, my pump is a in tank 450 LPH pump, good for over 1k hp, sorry it took awhile for me to post about this, but I was so fed up with everything, I drove home, parked in the garage closed the door & haven't looked at the car since,,,, GRRRRRRRRR
TURN it up & listen

Ok guys here is what I found, correct my math if its off, My Car is named "BRAIN DAMAGE " for a reason, LOL, This test was @ 12.5 volts, running voltage is 14 volts so the pump output is more when the car is running, all that said, with the set up before any mods done it took 40 seconds @ 47 psi to flow 1 Gallon so that is 90 GPH ,,, with the new HIGH FLOW filter it took 37 seconds per gallon so, 97GPH, thats plenty of fuel for my low HP engine, BUT here is what I found, to do the test I unplug the fuel pump relay & bypass it & LOW & BEHOLD I found melted terminals on the electrical plug, so I ordered a 65 amp continuous Duty solenoid that will be mounted in the trunk right off the battery triggered by the old Fuel pump voltage supply wire, that will reduce resistance in the pump circuit because everything is right there ie Battery & in tank pump, Thanks for all the help
