snowprophet1 Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Got to run my banshee today at the strip for the first time on alky. Last time I was there, my best time was 13.91@86mph in the 1/4 (8.3@75 in the 1/8) on 93 octane. Now that I switched to alky, I pissed more people off! I started off rich w/the adjustable power jets all the way open, and each run leaned them until the egt's were similar to the gas ones. All said and done, I hit 13.40@89.6 in the 1/4 and 8.0@79 in the 1/8. A 5.0 mustang GT on NOS only did a 13.8 against me ! I can't wait until my 34mm pj's get here! If I got .5sec/4mph faster w/stock carbs, I can't wait to see what these other carbs do. My youngest brother's Firehawk SLP Trans Am pulled somewhere in the 13.4 range at best so far. I never thought I'd ever get to that level, but looks like his $20,000 bird is going to suck hind tit behing my cheap little banshee! Any guess what the bigger carbs on alky might do for me from here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Depending on your mods of course you will most likely gain enough top end to pull a taller gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYUK Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 should have kept them shearers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowprophet1 Posted August 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I think you're right nyuk. I should have at least sold them back to you. It wasn't worth the experience selling them. They guy that bought them was from Australlia, even though I had it for sale US only. That turned out to be a total mess. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
