Last time I raced I ran a 12.53 in June. It was 80 out, I had my 2800 converter instead of a 3500 which I have right now. I also relocated the battery to the trunk for better traction, and will remove the front sway bar, because thats what everyone has been telling me. Anyone want to guess what I might run this weekend. By the way the temp there should be in the 50's.

 

what was your mph? id expect to pick up a few tenths at least. traction is key and what youve done should help alot

 

Trapped at 108

 

108s good for 12.30's prob.... get that up to about 110-112 hopefully with converter and a better launch and you might see 11.9xxx's

 

Unless you can pull 4-5 MPH out of your butt and drop .15 - .2 in the 60'...

I don't see it happening.

Be sure to post up your results.

 

Looks like your car's 60ft's are very good for the e.t that you are running. To try and gain half a second with a few little mods.....I dunno. I'm curious though.

 

I'm guessing your going to need at least another 5 mph to get there. For comparision My 108 got me 12.38, but I was also cutting 1.69 short times. What did your incrementals look like? I know that I am flat from the 60-330. If I could get the 330 #'s in line with my 60 I should have been 12.000.

 

yeah im curious to see what your whole 1/4 run looked like.

 

I was very pleased with the results this weekend. I ran only 3 times. The first I ran a 12.9 107mph, the second I ran a 12.6 at 110 and the third 12.03 at 106. The last one I cut a 1.59 60 foot and had the front left tire 8 inches off the ground. It was humming. I guess if I stayed there longer it would of worked out, but my tranny would not let me go into 1. I started out in 2 and the computer shifted me from 1st to 2nd at 4500 rpm. So I know I could easily get into the 11's. Right now I do have the stock intake on, which is restricting me.
I also weighed my car its 3350 without me.

 

that is doing extremely well!!! i've never seen a car go that fast with that trap speed.

I would figure tho your car would be good for atleast 112mph tho

 

Yeah it was weird. When I trapped at 110 I was stunned at only a 12.6

 

whats your 1/8 mile times and trap speeds?

 

7.5 at 90

 

i think you were having problems on the big end to only gain 16mph...running out of fuel or something....that was on an 11.8 pass with a 7.5 660' time.

 

yeah 90 should be good for 112 atleast, actually maybe 113-114.

 

I was having problems with the shifter. It would not let me put it into 1st gear, so instead I left in 2 so it automatically shifted from 1st to 2nd at 4500 instead of what I shift it at which is 5700

 

that would show weird 330' times, not weird times on the big end...106mph is down on power big time versus your 110mph pass previous in the night...

 

Agreed, something just ain't right. Congrats on getting the car to leave harder, that is the main factor that improved your ET's IMO.
