In case anyone is interested we ran the "Braphoon" last night at GLD. Lemme just say the announcer is REALLY cool!
First time out ran a 13.2 at 102 with a 1.97 60 ft.. Not bad considering we just drove an hour in traffic. Then rattled off a 13.5. Ick. Left with less boost at the line (2-3 lbs.) on the 13.5 run and cut a whooping 2.02 60 ft. Let her cool down for an hour, and tried to leave with more boost. Third time left with 7-8 lbs, got 1.89 60 ft, and another 13.2. These first three we couldn't build more than 15 lbs of boost during the run Boost was all over the place. Fourth run we yanked the stock air intake box, and left with more boost (11.8lbs). 13.017 @ 103 1.82 60 ft. Guhh...so close to that magical 12 number. Last run of the night. Got a bag of ice, and threw that on the IC during the staging lanes. Waited literally an hour while the track folk let the motorcycles, snowmobiles, ambulances, and jr. dragsters run/explode. Pull up to the line, thought I saw both staging lights come down (turns out I was wrong and had to have the track official pull me up to bring down the second set of lights. whoops
) Built about 13-14 lbs on the line and launched HARD Sean Morris style. Cut a 1.82 60 ft. Guy hands me the ticket........13.002 GHAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Now I know this isn't a 11.01 @ 126, but what's with the .002?! Grr....
But I'm still pleased with the results. 13.0 at 15lbs. after hitting curbs/swamps/Degohbah is really good for a four door behemoth like the Bravada.
Big thanks to BG and BW for "putting the cole to fire", and going with. And Dave Buckshaw for believing in boost!
