Slight new best I took a couple passes at a local 1/8th mile track to TNT my new 3-washer transgo shift kit and 28" slicks.
I ran the car in "lazy" trim (through exhaust, no EWP/shortbelt, about 50# heavier than "race" trim), since no one including myself cares about 1/8th mile times.
Anyway I was surprised to run 7.17@94.57, 1.58 60' time. My 1/8th mile on my best 11.34 run was 7.26@93.5 1.59 60'. It seems the lighter rims and transgo kit is paying off some. My 1-2 shift is now 350rpm late (6800), and my 2-3 shift 600rpm late (7100). Not perfect, but much better than before the transgo when both shifts were about 900rpm late (and tagging my 7200rpm rev limiter!).
I usually pick up .12th going in to "race" trim, so maybe an 11.1 will be possible next weekend at bfield?

Re: Slight new best Nice run.
I'm hoping to get my Meziere in before Bfield and the P/A K-member. Neither of which have showed up yet. I'm hoping for decent weather....cooler than 80deg., but I don't know if that will happen. Any update on Derek's car? I know he's probably pulling his hair out by now trying to get Mike to help him. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Slight new best Derek told me today yesterday that he is nearing completion on his car.
If he enters class 2, we are all done.
I tried to tell him that his wife's car would be a better choice to run out there, but he kept referring to his mission statement of 9's or bust.
I know he's going to use N2O for that, but if he decides to run both C2 and C3 our only hope will be if he breaks.

Re: Slight new best we'll find some rule that eliminates him from C2. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

How was your rpms with the 4.10's with the 28 inch tire?
Cheers,

Re: Slight new best Fine, with the TP4400 my rpms never go below 5700rpm. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
