Talking New Stock Internals Best

Drove 953 miles back home to Florida for the BADRAP track day (and a vacation )

Had a great time at the track day and got a new best Not a huge jump.. but not too bad

60 1.538
330 4.664
1/8 7.304
mph 92.76
1000 9.603
1/4 11.544
mph 115.39

Ran a new best MPH on a earlier run:

60 1.594
330 4.733
1/8 7.370
mph 92.93
1000 9.661
1/4 11.592
mph 115.97

Old best: 11.57 @ 115.54 (1.53)

Changes since the last new best:

Bogarts R/T's
26x11.5 ET Streets
BMR Lower Control Arm Brackets

Funny enough.. I can't update the SI list till I get back to my home computer

hmmm look at my slip from today compared to yours

60' - 1.521*
330' - 4.635*
1/8 - 7.302*
mph - 92.40
1000' - 9.614
1/4 - 11.573
mph - 114.67

and here i thought i got it all figured out last time i was out. Guess right now my car just isn't putting down the power others are

Congrats on the new best. How much longer do you plan to stay SI? I'd like to see if i can get an 11.4 out of the car before I throw a cam in it, but I'm pretty impatient

Thank's Lynda. Raceweight or a little better DA could account for the differences in our runs.. I wouldn't worry about it.

Well.. never planned to be SI this long. My goal was a 11.5.. but now I'm thinking 11.4's

Nice runs, John.

Those are better than my H/C times.

I just keep having things screwing my car up every time I'm at the track it seems.

what are you doing to it now Mike? send me a pm or a email

John.. I'm not sure why I hate you more, because you are in florida racing, or because of the times.

Congrats, have a safe trip home.

Thanks everyone!

Raceweight was ~3320 (thats with me in the car)

List of the mods to the car are here: http://www.geocities.com/wilwaxu/about.html#formula

Traction was horrible last night. I put on a show on one pass, spun so hard that the I thought I was going to take out the tree! I lifted twice and still ran a 12.28 @ 113.63

Hey EFA guys.. Weather Update for Tampa Florida: Sun for the rest of the week, highs in the 60's and lows in the 40's I'll be back in MD next weekend to enjoy your pain.

Lynda, I plan to go straight to H/C. I drive this car ALOT (44K) I'm afraid of the valve spring breakage I've seen with a cam & on the car valve spring swaps. Figure I will go with heads with double springs to give me the dependability I'm looking for.

Congrats on the new best. Maybe you can catch a liitle better DA and hit 11.4's before the H/C go on.

Congrats on the new best, John!

Hey...did you see the little red 97 Cobra running 10.3's? That's Al Papitto - the car is a n/a DOHC 5.4. He's building my Factory-stock spec 4.6 for the 2004 NMRA season.

Good luck - and don't be a stranger!
Bob
