Went to the track guys , this is with an out of sink carb (still havent gotten it tuned right still bogs at low engine speed.

Anyway the first 2 i wont even mention cuz theyre were just imbarrasing (stupid carb, thing almost died on me when I launched.)

My best time was a 14.16 @ 96.92 with a 2.28 60ft, and a very impressive reaction time of .984 (doesnt change the 1/4 time). 91 degrees outside.

Since the last run I had a 2.28 60ft i figured if I could bring it down to a 2.1 id be 13.9s easy, so I tried to launch it a little higher spun the tires all the way through first and second, figured what the hell might as well trap a 13, I MISSED 3rd so that time came in at a 14.55 @ 96.31 with a 2.31 60ft, and an 1/8th of 9.41seconds hence missing 3rd.

With a little bit better driving, and a tuned carb I would have been a high 13 second car I believe, better luck for me next time. This is with the exact set up I have down below. A little cooler air would have helped as well it was hot, however I should still have hit a 13. Hope this helps you out, 164k on my stock bottom end guess im pretty happy that I know i could have hit a 13, mad that I didnt.

This was on 255x60x15 street tires.

 

Get some tuning done, you should go quite a bit faster than that! 9.1 in the 1/8 looked like the fastest, and my car was running that stock. Nail the driving, shifting, ect... and get that carb tuned in and I think mid 8's in the 1/8 are in your future!

 

The mph is consistant between all 4 runs. From a high of 96.92 to a low of 95.48 is less than 1.5 mph. When tuning the engine, tune to get the most mph.

Traction will determine the ET. If you spin the tires or the car bogs off the line, the ET will be slower but the mph will still be roughly the same.

Some sticky tires will help lower the 60' time.

 

nice runs, i tought you waned to ru some low 13sec with that setup??? well thats wwhat you said on project camaro.

 

ur loosin power up top 78mph 1/8th mile should be a bit higher then 96mph. ive trapped 96mph passes with 76-77mp[h 1/8mphs id say u should be at 97-98 at the end of the track?

 

So think just the carb tweaking would fix that ****

 

I did, **** happens

 

ull get quicker, it just takes time to tune the car and stuff. im not a carb guru so i cant even tell ya about ur setup, but combo combo combo is real important for power output. since u posted a thread on engine buildup id assume u had help and put together a nice engine, whats the elevation of the track u race at? if they have a website its usually listed under track info.

 

Ya hopefully, I dont really have time to work on it before I go off to the Marine Corps here so I think that was my last track day for about another 4 months, as for track elavation I couldnt find it on the site it didnt have it under track info ( www.searspoint.com ) anyway ya I think its the carb plus even on a cooler day with the messed up carb I think i shoulda ran a 13, 91 degrees out aint kool anyways thanks guys

 

Heres the video guys thanks for all the imput.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you using slicks? Your 60's should be way better.

 

Nope, 255x60x15 street ****ters, I sold my slicks a lil wayz ago, didnt fit the wheels had way 2 much offset.

 

I think if you could just get your 60's in the 2.0-2.1 range which shouldn't be too hard, and get your carb tuned right you should see 13's easily.

 

Me 2, but im leaving for the Marines this sunday so I wont be doing it any time soon.
