So..... after the long ordeal of getting this A8 to T400 conversion up and running (we’ll call it a learning experience).... it works! I also made a couple of changes with the motor. All this has me way behind schedule getting it on the track, but with the results we’re seeing now, I think it’s going to have been worth it. Thanks to a heads-up from WhipCat..... I’m confident now that the big Whipple is a good blower for a stroker like this. Whipcat, working with Gearhead Fabrications, was the R&D car for a spacer that increases the plenum volume in the Whipple. When Phil told me about the results that they saw, I got him to put a word in for me to get one. To say the guys at the shop were skeptical would be a understatement. There generally is no easy hp at this level, so they were like.... yeah right 😒. The improvement in efficiency is remarkable. Boost went down, IAT went down, and power went way up. We went from 25 to 22 lbs boost and saw a peak IAT of 109 degrees. Conditions were 75* with a DA of 1600ft. So... a word about the trans. We expected to be giving up hp to the T400 (they are known to eat hp). Tim said to expect to loose over 100whp. I don’t know how much it ate but it sure as hell didn’t come up short. Tim and Tommy threw the book at the tuning to get this to happen. Basically three full days and so many files they lost count. Tim said it’s perfect without a hint of knock at the full 23 degrees. Next up will be tuning at a track rental on March 13 at Wild Horse Pass in Phoenix with the goal of taming the beast to get off the line.

I also want to thank Micha at OST for the trans package. They were very helpful in putting together this Coan built package with all the parts and pieces that are needed. Coan is one of the most respected performance converter and race trans manufactures in the business. Tommy at SRT Autoworks made this custom carbon fiber plate for the B&M shifter to keep things looking nice.

Looks great

It all looks great Marc! Good luck on the 13th! I will doing tnt also. But here in Tucson. IF I go to WHP they will kick me out after the first pass. Here in Tucson either I can keep running or they will let me run 1000 feet after I go under 10.0.

The 13th is a track rental. There’s no tech. One of the shops Redeye is running 9.3’s and they don’t say anything. You’ll go a lot faster there than Tucson.

That would be great. Except for one thing. I am buried in tax returns. lol. It is the season. If it were on Friday night, Sat. night or a Sunday I would be in. Thanks for the invite though!

[AlleyCat]

Oh, the 13th. I am seeing things. Buried in tax returns. Till what time at night?

 

[AlleyCat]

Who do I pay?

 

[Marc W]

Who do I pay?

Better call Tommy. The track rental thing out there is put on by several shops in Phoenix. SRT-A being just one of them getting in on it. He can give you the info. I was just told to show up and be ready to send it. 😂

 

[AlleyCat]

OK. I will e mail him now. I will see you if Tommy has room.
