Way to go Robin - congrats on your awesome performance!
Oh, and Gach.......while the CV-1's may be fine heads, they didn't just pick up three tenths on their own, after being on the car all season. It's all in the tuning and Robin is a tuner. |

are you implying that it couldnt be done? We have a 580 chevy with out of the box dart heads and a single victor intake with a csu dommy blow thru and we have made 1700+ to the tires, and on a relativaly easy tune up.

No, i'm implying that would be with an easy tune up...
And I bet with your chevy motor it would make more power if you took some stroke away from it...

Thank you for the support!
I will answer some questions: The car has not been apart or changed in any great manner in 2 years. This combo made more power, the setup in the car could not take it! At first I needed to get the ancillary parts right (converter, gears, carb, etc.) then go to work on the tweaks (nitrous ratios, shock settings, chassis settings, etc.) and this engine now has over 60 trouble free passes. The last year of tuning I have not changed a nitrous jet. I have added a Digital 7, Sportsman Racepak and the like to help understand the car. Sorry fellas, the only video I have from Saturday night is of my rear tires where I learned how to make it 1.23 to the 60 without wheelstanding. A ton of hard work and new knowledge, very little hardware!! In fact, no engine hardware. So many have contributed to that knowledge I would need a page just to thank everyone but the shortlist includes Bill Anderson, Jim Roland, Kelly Blubaugh and Langer. The D.A. was 2,400! Put me at sea level on a cool East Coast night and we have a solid 7! Understand I did not remove or disable a single part that was on it when I spent 3 hours cruising Central the week before or had on it at Norwalk: Big fans, 100A alternator....... I feel proud that it is a Pontiac kicking "their" collective tails but I am most proud that it is a REAL street car whacking real race cars in classes calling for but not mandating street cars! A topic for a different day...... Keep the Faith!!!

Again great job Robin.
You are a great inspiration to those of us who like to drive our cars and race them. Having raced my street cars frequently and a 40 mile drive one way to do so was always fun.(nowhere close to your level) Only once in 3 seasons, same car/combo, racing most every weekend, did I come home on a trailer.(My starter fried/seized could happen to a tow rig too, my friends "street" car came off his trailer, mine went on, I paid his gas. He was worried if his "street" car was up to a 40 mile trip home.) Agree beating the "race" cars was quite satisfying. Was a guy always crabbin "get those *#%& street cars out of here". I especially enjoyed treeing him and running my number the day we got lined up. I never got any static from him again. To me its a pride thing, building for durability, maintaining it, and proving it. Intend to drive and race my turbo project too. Drive it anywhere race it anywhere. IMO turbo or N2O are the most flexible way to dedicated race car power and retain driveability. To me NA or power adder its durability that counts most. If you cant repeat, how good is just a power level you obtain. |

8.13 is fast on ANY street car that can be driven an actual 30+ miles.
Again, Congratulations on the pass. Tom Vaught

 We built charts, spare racks, wrote nitrous equations for our new jet packs, put together a spare laptop, marked and bundled all the cables, rewired some of the car (more to go), etc.. I had to take a couple years off and I needed a jumpstart to get my brain tracking again. I had learned all there was to go 8.50's easy. You guys put me on track to unlearn bad habits and get my mind right!
