Default Times inside-opinions wanted.

I really thought I'd be running faster than this. I know dropping my 60' another tenth would get me down to an 11.4 or so. Here's my slip.

60'-1.636

330'-4.796

660'-7.420 @93.74mph

1000'-9.682

1320'-11.576 @119.42

I've seen other guys with a similar 60 and mph pulling 11.1's. How does my 1/8th time look? I'm wondering if I'm loosing time in the middle of the track somewhere, or do my times look about right and I'm just not thinking straight.

Any opinions?

What kind of #s are you putting down to the tire?

I'd say you're loosing time early in the run and backhalfing good. My non-aerodynamic Nova has run 11.12 at 119 and change in good air, and the split times are 1.542 60 foot, 7.06 at 96 mph 1/8 mile.

The car is 3825lbs. with me in it.

The more I'm looking around it seems that I'm about right for being a 6-speed. The guys who are out e.t'ing me are mostly auto's.

The DA was also 2200 on that day so I might just wait for some good air before trying for some low 11's

Dude your car is running for that weight and DA plus a manual trans. I would lose some weight if you want the car to go faster until then you should be happy with those times. Nice run BTW

Thanks for the compliment. I'd like to take at least enough weight out to offset what the roll bar and 12-bolt add. Hopefully I'll get some time to work on it before the next time I get to the track.

Are you going to the LTX Shootout September 4th ? I'm going for the second year. It's a great race you should bring the car.

I thought about it when it was announced, but it's a little to far away for me to make it. It would be a lot of fun though. Good luck.

330 looks slow..

my bolt on car was going 4.8x on spinning 1.60-1.62 60'..7.6x @ 88 and some change.

granted it only weighed 3600 with me in it, it had less power.

looks like a killer run for the weight..I'd be happy w it..I'd venture that you're powershifting as well..I've got a lighter car that runs the same time but prolly making less power

Actually, I haven't tried powershifting. I'm kinda scared to, the trans. is the only thing that's still stock. And with 220K on it, I'm betting it's not going to survive the rest of the season.

BTW, that's a nice line-up of cars you have there.

thnx..like my toys..if you're not powershifting, I want to ride in that car cause it sounds quick. I powershift every run on the stock trans making over 400 hp leaving the line about 6 grand..granite thats stock suspension so its still not dead hooking..but has held up for 2 years so far..220k is a bit much though..I would be apprehensive too
