Talking Finally in the 10's

Well went to the track yesterday after fixing hopefully the last minor engine issue this year right off the trailer ran

10.954@126.90 1.473 and 10.901@126.62 1.465

swapped the plugs to a different set, changed tire pressure and slowed to

11.597@119.07 1.568 and 11.404@120.44 1.517

Went back to the original plug and tire pressure set up and went

10.928@126.12 1.435 and 10.893@126.23 1.450

all in all a great day everything seemed to be working correctly for the first time this year and ran new personal bests (previous was 11.32) and better than last week's 11.80's on 7 cylinders.

Oddly TR-55 everything else the same it ran slower switched back to the used 2 passes TR-5's and was back at 10.9. On the 55's the motor didn't sounds as "crisp" either.

First of all, congrats on 10's! Been chasing that 10 sec slip myself and know what it's like to want it lol.....

But damn, you lost 6.5 - 7 mph from a sparkplug swap? Holy crap!

I know it doesn't make much sense but that was the only change on the first 11 sec pass then I tried to change tire PSI and made no diff. Swapped back and went 10.9. I'm gonna test it out again when I go to the track on Sunday.
