sorry, I’ve been away from a computer for the last few days.
Well I didn’t run as well as I hoped but, w/o the humidity and if my exhaust manifold was actually bolted to the head with all the bolts, I might have been a bit faster.
My best run was:
R/T .713
60ft 1.811
1/8 8.028
MPH 88.31
1/4 12.501
mph 110.56
I had my boost controller maxed out and I still was only running 20-21psi, so I hope to get everything else buttoned up, my EGT installed, manifold bolts fixed, and a cooler night to run and see what she’ll do. I was really hoping for a 12.2 out of the night but I can’t complain too much about a 12.5 I guess. We’ll see in a couple of weeks.
60ft’s should have been at least a tenth of a second faster, so I’m not sure if it’s the clutch or I just suck at driving.
didnt you run a shitload faster in the gayth at lancaster? im actually really surprised by this…
im sure you will run better next time… when i ran my 12.8@108, my 1/8th et was like 8.3-8.4ish. it seems to me that your trap should be a little higher than 110, almost like all your power is down lower, and it struggles up top.
I can’t really say why my car was sucking it up the other night. I really couldn’t get much going, when I initally ran a 12.8 I was going to shoot myself (my trap was 109 BTW). It felt damn fast down the track, but nothing came out of it.
I ran a 7.9 at Lancaster which was about .08 seconds faster than my best run at NYIRP, and I was at 17 psi with Knock holding me back, although it was a lot cooler. Being at 20-21psi w/ no knock, I would think I would do much better, so I can’t really be for sure, I guess I have to get everything toghether and running 100% and try it again in a few weeks.
And my 60ft times were lacking too… I don’t know if it was the track or my clutch (although the clutch seemed to hold well).
This trip to the track was honestly my first trip to a 1/4 mile ever, so it was more of a learning experience.
after checking all the DSM times on the huge tuners list, I’m about right in terms for the trap in the 1/8 and 1/4 and et for each. Nothing to show that it is dieing up top. If I ran a 12.5 with a trap of 107, then that would show something significant.
nice times guys, dont be too hard on yourselves, lots of factors go in to runnin a good time, its realy tough to put together the perfect run in the perfect conditions!
