New PB at LVD Saturday Previous bests were 11.89 at 117.45 with a 1.67 60' at Lebanon Valley. We had some good weather Saturday with DAs below 50 and I decided to join my brother and friends for the Test and Tune at LVD. Got three runs.
First run - 11.78 at 117.25 with a 1.62 60'.
Second run - 11.74 at 117.19 with a 1.66 60'.
Third run - was happy with my new bests, so I decided to try dumping it from 6500 to see what would happen (typically launch about 5000 RPM). It tried to grab but failed, went a little sideways and gave me an 11.82 @ 117.38 with a 1.69 60' (still better ET than my previous best).
This was on 26 x 10.5 x 16 ET Streets (stock wheels) and my 17" SS wheels up front. Car dynoed 400/367 SAE on a dynojet and weighs 3,500 pounds without me in it (~3,650 race weight).
I know it has a 1.5 60' and 11.6 in it as it sits at LVD, but I think the trap is about maxed out at that track at current power/weight levels without powershifting (haven't powershifted it yet at the track). I'm gonna adjust the lower control arms tonight to the lower setting on the brackets to see if it helps traction-wise. I'm hoping to get down to E-town or Atco for some sick numbers before the end of the year, but that may or may not happen.
