Sprayed the car... critique my timeslip
Just got back from the track... Finally got off my lazy *** and hooked up the nitrous. Cars the same as it was when it went 12.52 @ 108 but the weather was a bit hotter. Anyway, heres the timeslip with the 100HP jets, 30* of timing (waaay conservative), 900psi bottle, spraying right out of the hole. I shifted at about 5500-5800RPM.
60' = 1.690
330 = 4.914
1/8 = 7.595 @ 91.37mph
990 = 9.855
1/4 = 11.884 @ 115.07mph
The car hooked initially but it seemed right around the 60' mark it started swaying in the back. I couldnt really tell if it was spinning though... the car might of just gotten out of the groove or something. I'm not too disappointed in this run but I was hoping for a little better. I'm wondering if something seems off on this timeslip? The mph should be good for mid 11's, right?
All in all I guess I can finally say I have an almost full weight, completely stock suspensioned, 11 second street car

See thats what I'm not sure about either
A friend of mine has run 11.90 @ 111mph and 11.70 @ 113mph but his 60ft is a bit better than mine.
I'm thinking/guessing 115mph should be good for an 11.50 or 11.60.

Here is a local timeslip database that will show a variance of mph for a mid 11.

That mph seems pretty close. 91mph was pretty good for an 1/8th mile 7.50 pass. Cars vary on ET to MPH. My car went 11.06 in the 1/4, but at only 109mph because I ran out of gear and hit the highside chip @7,000 rpms and let up around 1,000 ft. lol.

Good run,
Ideal ET for that MPH is 11.75 so you are doing well.
60 seems a "little" low for spraying out of the hole, 28" seem a little tall for 3.73s in a revving 350. I run the same 3.73s/28" tire and its a little over geared for me, but 26's just won't hook for me.

I guess I cant complain about an almost 7 tenth improvement on just a 100 shot.
Tires are 27" tall and I have 3.92's. I'm not too sure why the 60 ft isnt that great - its barely better than on motor. I couldnt tell if the car was spinning because there was an open-header race car next to me screaming away... Although I do remember it not launching extremely hard but when I clicked into 2nd gear the car was accelerating at a rate I've never felt before and I said to myself "holy crap this cars flying" When I crossed the finish line a bunch of weird stuff started flying outta my dash board vents! dust, crud, leafs, lost nuts and bolts... It was an instant indicator of achieving a new best ET.
I think I oughta work on getting the car completely dialed in on motor before I spray it again then maybe my goals will be met. I've done no tuning whatsoever. I figure if i can get 12.20-12.30's on motor I shouldnt have trouble (other than traction) hitting mid 11's on just the 100 shot. Maybe an 11.0-11.1 on a 150 or 200
we'll see...
