Default Finally a new best with NO money spent :)

Well I went to California Speedway today (1100' above sea level) and ran a new best of 13.15 @105.96.

Here's the timeslip breakdown:

1/4 --- 13.15
mph --- 105.96
60' --- 2.053
R/t --- 1.2 <img border="0" alt="[boring]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_zzz.gif" />

Since my last run the only things i did were: port and polish TB with epoxy, and custom ram-air for my Ultra-z hood (like the BG Ram Air for WS6's). Gained 3 tenths and spent nothing <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Mods are in the sig. What do you think?

All runs were with stock Goodyear Eagle RS-A's

Thats awesome .3 is a huge gain with just free stuff. Hell thats a big gain even if you spend money.

Too bad I couldn't get into the 12s. I cutg a better 1/8th mile time before I did the mods and I was hoping to cut a little better one this time and go into the 12s. Maybe next time.

Do you think i could go into the 12s with what I have?

Of course all of us could run better with no money spent with the right practice techniques. In your case, driving to a track at a much lower altitude <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

nah the 3 tenths was after altitude correction. I ran a 13.8 at palmdale before the mods. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> 13.4 after altitude correction.

so a .3 gain is conservative <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
