Rod Penrose's New car project

Fiatdude , I am 232 lb's , and I can stand on the rear of the chassis above the differential and jump as hard as I can and bounce the car , and the rear suspension will compress about 1/2" . I have the data from the car and I can let you know exactly how much the rear is compressed at any part of the track . The figures I am looking at , is at the point of just before I leave 100% throttle , therefore maximum speed . I have shown my chassis guy and he suggests that the car may be bouncing around in the trailer on the way to the track , so I tried to simulate this by bouncing on the rear of the chassis and could hardly move it . The rear wing is approx 1500 mm wide 220 mm long with a depth of about 70 mm . I just cant comprehend that somthing that weighs about 3 lb's can generate so much downforce . I will now set the angle at about 1 degree and will make it more adjustable for the next outting . The car was quiet good without the wing until I got off the power and the car was a bit of all over the place in the braking area which was a bit hairy . I am still looking at the data and the downforce didn't seem to be slowing me down which seems to be a bit strange , maybe I am still not going fast enough for it to make a difference in speed at the moment , ROD.

Dcuplover , I think the smoke is from a dodgy pushrod tube seal dripping oil onto the exhaust . I seem to keep turning one seal on the head side , in-side-out because it is way too soft and flexible .
I have had a bit of an oop's on the dyno and damaged all of the valves due to the high combustion temps . I have a problem somewhere in the fuel system and the exhaust temps went from 1690 F to 2888 F and don't seem to know exactly why . I had 5 good runs on the track @ 18lb's of boost and 2 days later was on the dyno to put around 200 HP more into the engine and it all went to **** . I have been through the entire fuel system , had the pump flowed with and without the fuel lines and filters and all came back good . The only other thing in the system is the regulator that was sent to be tested and was found to be working well . I have up-graded to a larger regulator on the Turbosmart engineers recomendations , and will be back on the dyno in 2 days time to see if all is well . According to the data , I have heaps of fuel pressure , but seem to bit low on flow . On the day we flowed 4 of the injectors , checked filters , changed sensors and everything seemed to be good , so I am at a bit of a loss as why I had trouble when I didnt change a thing from the track to the dyno . Every time I did a change or looked at something the Lambda was getting worse , it went from .845 to a 1.27 ratio .
The engine was also dismantled , inspected and all was perfect apart from 8 bent titanium valves . The inlets were saved with a light cut , however the exhausts had to be replaced . A big thanks to Dave Folts for the loan of his spare set of valves and Mario from Pauter for all of the imput and getting the new valves done so quickly to replace Daves spare set . The engine is all back together and ready to run , this time with a bit more power . I am hoping to do another test day on the track in 6 days time if all goes well on the dyno , ROD.

Jeff , I had some good luck on the dyno today , no one got hurt , ROD.
