Default 3.73 and FRA Mod track gains

Best pass before on 3.23s and mods in my sig was 12.4 at 110.9 on a 1.89 60'.

So far today with no cool down and bouncing off the rev limiter, the car has gone 12.24 at 114.1 mph, still 1.89 60'. Only changes were going from 3.23 to 3.73 and FRA mod.

That car has 11's in it easy! I was running 11.7's at 114 way back when. You have the power, just get some better tires. I'd get a set of drag wheels and run a Hoosier QTP in 26x 10.50x 15. Nice soft sidewall, and a ton of grip.

If not spinning (skews the MPH) and is 114 mph....11's easy once you get the 60's down.

Its pulling consistent 1.8 60s rolling into it quick. If the sombich would hit 3rd just once without crawling all over the rev limiter, I'd be surprised if it didnt run 1-2 tenths quicker as it sits.

Still has the stock one. Wouldn't take a big stall at all to hit 11s, I don't think.

Going Friday to calibrate the speedo. It was hitting the limiter before the gears, so I'm hoping he just tuned the shift points too close to the rev limiter and that backing it off some will fix the issue.

Got the trans cooler, just need to install it. Want to either get the transgo or just build the whole trans and stall it while I'm in there.

I was running in Fayetteville, NC. It was about 65 degrees, not sure what the DA was though. I'm thinking 0-500', but I'll find out for sure.

-1000 sounds about right this time of year. The actual elevation is only 300' ASL, so it really isn't uncommon to get negative DA in the winter, Fall, and spring. The summers around here are a different ballgame though, lol. It gets very humid and kills ETs. Its crazy how much difference a couple thousand feet make.

There is an App for Droid "Drag Racing Workbench" where you can see up to date and past DA along with some decent calculators. Check it out

Here it is...See what you think ???
