Me n Ethyl

[wrp]

Taken about a week to figure out the throttle stuff. I turned the TB 90 degrees and made a bracket to run it in from the side. Took some monkeying around to get it where it would give me 100% but I think I am there.

Went from this





To this



Had to douche the return spring, still working on that one. So afterwards took her out for a spin. Not inspected so tried to keep it reasonable.

This car is ready for a pass.

Hope you plan to take video of it
Now that I am on the PC I can see the video the iPad denied me.

excellent!!!

so what was up with the 3rd video, you seemed to be struggling with something

and

what was the ET? inquiring minds want to know

[wrp]

Keep in mind it was the first real outing. We kept the TPS to about 60%. Screwed up and put an instantaneous Line lock on the console. Need to move that to the shiifter knob. Best Pass was 7.3 @ 101. Think I broke my wavetrac

Working on fitment for the hood right now

Update. That last run in the video included the Wavetrac breaking. The lifetime limited warranty was only good for a 1 time fix so the Wavetrac is gone. We replaced it with with a Strange S-Trac. I understand there were problems with the early Wavetracs. They may be fixed now but they did not want to warranty me at 1000 hp with a transbrake. For guys with 600 or so horsepower and no transbrake I think the Wavetrac would be a good choice. My vendor has been replacing the Wavetracs with the S-Tracs as the formers break down. Thus far he hasn't had any issues. Here's hoping.

thanks for updating that - I've got to build in that kind of safety on my Buick, so your timing couldn't have been better.
