First Time Out
These are some videos we took in June of 2005 at one of our local drag strips. NOTE: Point your mouse to the link and click, it should play using windows media player. If the movie cuts off short then you will have to use your right mouse button and click. Choose save as and save it to your computer to play, This way you can see the complete pass.
The first is just an appearance of the Z-Car heading to staging.
This is the Z-Car against my SS Monte Carlo.
One tuning pass of the Z-Car.
This is my brother Jerry, black shirt and myself John, green shirt with black hat. We are checking the timing. In the video you will see a friend of ours Mark.
Making a tuning pass.
We decided to try d-jetting the Carb's, also show's good view of my NOS system I added. Also note my brother Jerry talking to our good friend Monroe. Also the guys talking about wife's while we are jetting the Carb's.
Our friend Monroe shows up. He came to drive the Monte Carlo, we put his Big block Chevy engine in the Monte Carlo just to try it out.
The Z-Car makes another tuning pass.
We make some more timing adjustments and try it again.
We are doing better almost back at our time. The heat really affects the supercharger, we are still two tenths off our time. We decide to try the NOS, we are using a NOS progressive controller with a NOS supercharger plate system set at 175HP. We try this pass at only 20% of NOS only.
Okay it really picked us up, the NOS is acting as a intercooler. Cooling the air inside the engine. We give it another pass, we were hazing the tires pretty good. Trying the other lane this time.
Well we did it, we ran in the 5's 1/8 mile on stock suspension. Here we are celebrating.
We make one more pass on HP to verify the difference from HP to NOS.
Here is a video of us running Steve's Z-Car. We red lighted at the start, Steve's Z-car has a Trans-brake and is two stepping. We are just using the brake pedal, and running mufflers.
I found some more video's. Check them out below. This is a video of the Z-Car making a pass from behind view, notice how Jerry is having to really drive the car, this is before we put on the new slicks.
This is a pass from behind, we are running a Mazda pickup truck, tubbed and has a Chevy 421cu. engine. Notice hoe the Z-Car goes hard to the left and gets on the grass.
Here is a pass we made at a 1/4 mile track. We just installed new slicks and the driver side half shaft broke.
Be sure to check out Other Cars, in Friends section. Posted some video also and some Grudge Matches.
