First runs on 275 Nittos. Runs were on some 275/40/17 Nittos at 18psi.
Density Altitude was 1738 feet.
Run breakdown:
.168 1.837 5.129 7.900 88.54 10.296 12.322 111.35
.179 1.665 4.926 7.679 89.04 10.063 12.079 111.77
.179 1.656 4.914 7.677 88.84 10.066 12.085 111.60
.137 1.654 4.907 7.667 88.90 10.053 12.072 111.67
.131 1.651 4.911 7.670 88.87 10.058 12.079 111.46
.031 1.629 4.883 7.639 89.06 10.022 12.037 111.88
Best run corrected for DA would be a 11.81 @ 114.03
Most of these runs were coming off a dead idle. I know that the tires were spinning a little bit, but they can't have been spinning that much to hook that good. I take back every bad thing I said about Nittos. I'm sure the LCA Relocation brackets that I put on the car helped somewhat as well.
The most fun run was the best one. I ran it against a black Cobra with "500RWHP" on the tag. My tag says "ANTIVNM" Let's just say that I showed him my tag to the tune of .5 seconds quicker.
It made it look worse that he had a .773 Reaction time.
Now I just need to get the weight on the car down, some skinnies, and some negative DA to hit my goal of low 11's SI.

First pass is always a feeler pass. I try to see what the track will take before I get serious.

Allen, the guy in the Cobra knows nothing about driving. I've watched his runs and it was like watching paint dry.
On another note, I finally got the entire hang of launching on my 245s. Steady upper 1.6X in 60' for me baby! You gonna be out this Friday at the track? We should line 'em up.
