Re: Lil IHRA classification help please!! Newbie Alert!

Hey. Kenny

Will be replacing my YankSS3800, installing a new Yank PT 4200 getting the trans rebuilt in next couple months.
When do you need the converter?
The hold up is our 94 Caprice SSuperwagon is at Maaco getting body work done.
Soon getting 3.08's installed and prepped for Towing.

However do have very good suggestion to save money on experimentation.
Buy the YankPT 4400 or 4200 Stall converter right away.
Add Blueprinted cam matching springs, headers, gears, tune and you should be making one second under ET's.

Speaking of consistent ... I've never shifted any computer-controlled car that I've raced. Turn the traction control off, put it in drive, and go. My thinking is that I'll never be quicker than any computer and definitely I won't be more consistent. Even if I picked up a hundreth or two I want the consistency. When we work hard to regulate the water temperature and ice the intake if traction stays our car is deadly consistent on the ETs by not shifting it.

I agree, I was just experimenting with what the previous owner told me. Going up to South Carolina tomorrow and I'll have plenty of chances to make hits Thurs thru Sun. One thing I learned and the ex-owner told me afterwards, it runs best at 160 water temp. I experimented at 170-180 and it did slow a tad. It will be tough keeping it at 160 tho if we get hot lapped, especially w/o an ele water pump. I expected a fuel injected car to run better when its warmer.

I like the sounds of this! I will need a converter soon and after some research the 3800 stall might be lower than I want/need. I'm going to try to make an IHRA "pro-am" style race at Lakeland, Fl Halloween weekend. Leaving it alone for this weekend (Div 2 Jackson, SC.) but things will start rollin on monday when we get home. THANKS!!

PS Love the wagon tow vehicle.

Re: Lil IHRA classification help please!! Newbie Alert!

Dad will have the 5.Slow at lakeland in I/PS
I had a new 2000 LS1 Z28. Bone stock it ran 13.10
Installed Yank TP4400, ET Streets and catback and ran 12.30
Good luck

Re: Lil IHRA classification help please!! Newbie Alert!

Hmmm...
I might be able to run at Lakeland too if I can catch the AutoTrain to Sandford, FL.

Own a home in Altamonte can visit the renter.
Plus can pick up the remaining MA Training at the same time too.

If you have a 93 car it is not shifted by computer. Also your PCM is chip tuned not flash tuned. Just mt 2 cents

Re: Lil IHRA classification help please!! Newbie Alert!

Do the older cars have an Intake Air Temp sensor? I know on my GTO it would pull timing when temps went up. Only problem was it was so close to the radiator it was reading water temps in the stock location. It would slow down a ton.
