A Productive Evening at Moroso with the 420

A Nice Evening at Moroso with the 420 Stroker
Well, the weather wasn't as cool nor dry as hoped for (low 70's/high 60's with 89% humidity), but I still came back with my best times so far both NA and N2O.

Here is the NA slip (on top, the right lane was a C6 Vette 6spd):



Here are two N2O slips (one has my best ET and the other one is my best 60' and MPH)



Here is a video from an early N2O run that night against a really nice guy in a Marauder S/C (not exactly quality zoom, but at least the burnout is worth watching, even if just for the sound of that bodacious motor):



I gotta tell ya, I love to hear that beast go through the gears. With the 305/45/18 Nittos from our buds at tByrne, I was getting some improvement on the 60' times and because they are as tall as the stock F1's, I was able to stay in 3rd gear through the traps (with extended shift points and a 6700 rev limit).

I'm able to drop the hammer at the line on motor only and the Nitto's hook. With the N2O on at the line, I still have to roll on the gas: too much and they break loose, not enough and I'm slow to 60'. I guess that's what makes it fun. (Maybe I should launch NA, hook, then spray? Ya think?)

I'm short shifting the 1-2 and 2-3 to stay in the peak torque as much as possible, and I may play with that some to see how it affects ET and MPH.

Thanks again to Scott & Stu at the Hemi Shop; Johan at DiabloSport; Frank at the Drive Shaft Shop, my local Crew Chief/Mechanic Jim and my other local Mechanic Lopez for making this fun possible/enoyable!

Maybe switch to progressive controller or a RPM switch.Motor out of the hole and have the N20 come on at the 60'..Nice runs BTW

Hey lou, not sure if you remember me.. we had a quick chat over at the restrooms before you hit the road..

Anyway nice runs all around.. and it was pretty cool seeing that magnum shock some of those guys at the track.. I heard more than a few people saying "holy sh*t did you see the times that Magnum was pulling!!" LOL

Nice runs.... looks like you were able to maintain some traction with 1.7 short times. I bet if you get the launch combo right you would be easily down in the 1.6's.
