Nosing over
Hey I snuck the cars out this weekend. The truck ran pretty good, it went 11.22 @ 118. Not bad for a cheapy motor.
BUT
The dragster was nosing over at about 800 feet and ran 8.96 at only 138 mph. On the first pass fuel psi dropped to 5.5 under load, so I turned it up and it stayed above 6.5 but still did the same thing. I am thinking the problem is in my fuel delivery. I have a Mallory comp 250 fuel pump, but I only have about a foot of -8 braid feeding it. It makes a 180 degree bend.
Does anybody else think that this could be the problem?
I was looking at putting -12 with 90 degree ends on them to be less restrictive and give it more volume.
It noses over after about 6 seconds of full throttle, but is not related to RPM. I shift at 6800 and it noses over at about 6400 on the big end.
What do you guys think? Thanks
