Motivational Engineering
Motivational's 1968 SS Camaro running stock suspension with 28x10.5
slicks. It weighs 3520 lbs. This class requires a 4150 based carb and
intake set up so we turned to Bryce of Dr. J's Performance to discuss
our needs. Bryce was able to take care of our needs and provide the
porting of our Brodix BB4 heads, Brodix 4150 style intake and build
us a Holley 4150 based HP carb. The motor is only 525 cubic inches and
made 870 horsepower on a conservative dyno. There is a single stage
plate nitrous system by Steve Johnson of Induction Soultions and
a Mike's  transmissions powerglide and 10 inch Continential converter.
It has a Ford 9 inch with 3.73 gears.
Going into the
final race of the season in the WCHRA (West Coast Hot Rod) Limited 10.5
class I was behind 56 points. This meant that I needed the current
points leader to lose in the semi finals and I needed to set the ET
record, MPH record and win the event. A lot to accomplish but I wanted
the championship real bad. The current records were 8.67 and
160.7MPH. The first tune up went 8.87 @ 161.8MPH ! Happy with the way
things looked I played with timing and at the end of qualifying I had
set the new MPH record of 164.32MPH in the 104 degree heat also. For
Eliminations we decided it was best to soften the car up and delay the
hit of the nitrous by .2 to go for the ET record. 1st round we ran a
8.68 @ 163.3MPH. 2nd round we ran an incredible 8.55 @ 163.93 MPH ! We
now had a window of 8.46 - 8.66 to back up the record. I had a bye in
the semi finals and the current points leader lost in his semi finals.
The car I had to race just reset the ET record to 8.66 which meant I
now had to go better than 8.66 and win the finals to get the
championship. When we left the line I spun a little and he was out on
me by 1 1/2 cars at half track but, I had the field covered by 6MPH.
Using this I was able to run him down and win with a margin of victory
of only .012. I ran a 8.65 @ 163.54MPH which was good enough to set
the ET record and win the 2009 WCHRA Limited 10.5 championship.
It
has been an exciting season and we are glad to have been able to work
with Bryce of Dr. J's Performance to get the performance we needed at
the time we needed it the most. Thanks for all of the help and track
support.
Sincerely,
Mike Saiki
