Re: My Delcoed Rides
Gunnedah on the 17th-18th March, perfect place to try things. Plenty of runs.

Re: My Delcoed Rides
yeah im going to try and get some springs before gunnedah so the tailshaft stops hitting the floor and then have a bit of a play there .... will be way less traction on the air strip though so might not be so easy to test launches but we'll see!

Re: My Delcoed Rides
yeah stalling on the brakes is damn hard especially without a good handbrake.i struggled at the drags pushing through the lights going come on green im gonna redlight here.yet on the street i could go hard on the brakes and handbrake and go WOT 7-9PSI let it go and powerskid 1st 2nd 3rd LOL, but the stock v6 convertor turned into a slippy highstall after a few of them launches
i should cut the convertor open and see if any fins are bent.
you could get a cheap highstall if you have a 6 cylinder box we used to fit 4 cylinder torque convertors into 202's as highstalls
and you got a 6 cylinder one and had it modded for v8 shaft to highstall a 308 cheap

If Its Got Gas Or Ass Count Me In.if it cant be fixed with a hammer you have an electrical problem
Re: My Delcoed Rides
Need a hooking system like on the aircraft carriers, but opposite, stall up then let er go

Convertors from the Gemini was a common "hi-stall" conversion for a Holden 6, but still only about 2800rpm, they are not that easy to find now.

Traction isn't quite the same as the WSID, but still not to bad.

Re: My Delcoed Rides
if i change the stall i'll probably try and go for a 3500-4000rpm converter and spend the right dollars on it, no use going halfway between that and what i have now.
but that ain't going to happen for a while, need to save coin and im not even sure i want to put funds towards that, i'd prefer put them into the LS1
but i will be cracking a 12 before i pull the 202!

Re: My Delcoed Rides
You'll crack a 12 with the combo you have have now.
13.04,13.05, 13.08 your almost there.
I sat on 13.3 for almost 18 months with my Holden 6, just couldn't get it to go quicker. I changed it over to methanol, then ran a 12.72 @ 104mph. It's all "old school" stuff & a manual.

Re: My Delcoed Rides
Using the Moroso slide rule it makes (car weighs 1200kg,)230hp at the tyres, 217hp on the dyno in shootout mode.Holden202 wrote:so your running methanol with the su's ? i assume just changed jets ?
