All season we struggled with traction and shake. Our shocks was way off for the settings we needed. I Contacted Chris Bell and he set us up with Penskes new 8760 shocks with custom valveing for a turbo promod car like mine.

We had varied problems on track. First of all we changed our crank trigger setup and it didnt work that well on high RPM and large converter pressures.
We also broke some pushrods and adjuster screws in our stage 5 intake rockers. Jöran Persåker let us visit his shop around midnight to get some new! We changed our Good years that we had some issues with, They shake alot! The new M/T tires was alot better.
No times this weekend to report due to no full passes.
Engine went Into its bay the final time. Now its time to fire her up! 🙂
We welded all small holes in our firewall so now its tight.
I’m also a proud father of my new born daughter Melissa.
Installed the boost control function today with 2 boost solenoids controlling add/decrease press on top of wastegate domes. It also have a map sesnor that senses dome pressure.
This is a closed loop system so i just add what dome pressure i need and the ECU does the rest.
This is a demo Movie below of how a ramping boost vs time can be on a promod car.
Boost can also be set in stages, per gear, speed or complete manual. It has a Transbrake stage built-in with a boost builder function.
Enyoy!
We got the car home today from hacke racing. Excellent work as always. Missing the blow off valves but will install 3″ units from PPF.
Car was delivered to hacke racing for some new headers, downpipes and coldside. We will be using a 2.5″ piping on headers an 3.5″ on coldside.
Many parts are still arriving but I hope this engine will be assembled in early march so we can do some dyno runs on it before first race in tierp arena in mid may.
I left my clutch-plans with the 10.5″ crower and 3 speed lenco. It didn´t felt right with all the extra work and mayby a performanceloss over the Rossler/Protorque combo?
So this week i called Carl Rossler up and ordered my new TH210 ProMod with the all new REID 4.1 case and a Browell 6.3 bell. Safety is my new thing??? Looks so when checking my bank account…
Pro Torque got involved and is building me a revolution series converter that will slip 2-3% and still being easy on stall.
Fogmaker sent me their new fire suspression systems that will be SFI compliant in march. Made in Sweden!
Steve Morris is making me a “easy on valvetrain” cam that will work good and produce 3000+ HP.
Comp Turbo sent out my new 91mm tripple ball bearing lightweight turbos this week. Should be here soon!
Car will be shipped to Johan “Lillis” next week for making motorplates and other stuff so i can mount the new hemi.
After “Lillis” is finished it will be shipped to our master hotside builder. Christoffer “Hacke”. Se pic for ideas how we want them placed.
“Fräsarn” that built my sheetmetal Chevy intake is in the process of this new manifold. We will use the Blower bottom part this time to save time/Money. But it will be a new plenum and Twin integrated throttlebodies. Billet of course!
We went to Tallhed after some bad runs at Tierp arena. New oil, tighter converter and more oil in tranny was our solution on the slipping problem. It worked well and we left the line on our first line hard. But after a short while my Throttle body shaft broke and cut air off… After a walk around talking to other teams we found a new one!. Thanks Thunderrace for saving weekend again!
Run 2 we did a personal best. It was 6 years since i did that! Car felt weak though. I only had 17.5 Psi of boost and left the line on 14. So there will be some gains later on.
Car is parked until next event at Tierp arena.
