1st time at the track. Alright Guys. I scrambled last friday night to finish up camswap and got everything together and heat cycled the springs once. Woke up saturday and heat cycled again. Let the car completely cool down then headed to Milan dragway. The only seat time I had w/ the new setup was the trip up 23 to Milan. Anyways Milan was packed and I only got 1 run in.
My run went something like this. Tree Drops I cut a good R/t but am sitting there spinning..get back out of the throttle car starts moving. Get back into it and up in smoke again w/ the tires. Grab second gear and have some NASTY wheel hop. I have never had wheel hop problems before. Anways the Tires are still spinning up thru second gear. Grab third Finally get some traction.
60ft 2.265
330ft 5.963
1/8th 8.912
1/8th mph 85.86
1000ft 11.397
1/4th et 13.505
1/4th mph 109.18
The lightning I ran against ran 12.5. From the 1/8th mile on (where I hooked up) We ran pretty much Identical. Only difference is I ousted him by 2mph (that is 1/8th to 1/4th mile MPH)
I guess my question is how much am I leaving on the table MPH wise with the 1/8th mile burnout, stock tune, stock rev limiter and stock catback.
Mods are TR224, Mac headers, ORY into stock catback(true duals are going on) Before this the car ran 13.5@104.5. This winter I am beefing up drivetrain and suspension. 12bolt, specIII, qa1's. LCA's, TA..etc.etc.
