Black Mariah's first 1/4 mile pass! (98 in sig)

First time on the 1/4 (w/decent prep) she went 10.89 @ 122.38 1.46 60' DA was +1829

I've been struggling with traction at my local 1/8 mile, with crap prep, and unable to dial in shock setting. Went to BMP last night T&T and the prep was good in the beginning and then all the diesel trucks showed up...Time slips attached.
SBE LQ4 w/ LS3 top end and a nitrous cam. She's gonna be deep in the 9's when I get a nitrous tune (and find some nitrous :bang: )

Nice 60'. Do you happen to have a weight on this car?

3152 with new 8pt CM cage. I know where #40 more is to remove, so should be ~3112 before any wallet reduction mods!

Read your build, great run! What torque arm setup are you using???

Not bad at all. Which cage did you get?

Only got in two test pulls (track crowded and break/oil downs). Time slips attached.
Needs less fuel jet and more timing and she'll be in the 9's on the .62 pill.
Only slowed down a few tenths on motor.
Oh and converter is borderline too loose.
Next time I'll hit with all of it. Should see 1.3x 60' and 9's

ragtopz28 Oct 19, 2017 06:49 PM

Two full bottles and ready to go back to testing. I need to get more runs in to get this girl in the 9's. Less people and less delays is a must :mad:

John Deere Hygard swap today (see post #8)...should help out a little on the initial "flash" and on the big end. Will log it and report back soon.

ragtopz28 Nov 5, 2017 07:33 AM

HyGard did nothing...Needs a new converter. She flashes straight to 6000 on the hit and blows the tires and the 60' is .3 off. Should be in the 1.3x range. Still traps 131mph so 9's are there just needs a little more $$ thrown at her.

ragtopz28 Nov 12, 2017 06:28 PM

More free weight reduction...#40 today :usa:

Keep up the good work!

Both door crash bars, rear bumper support, and all hardware. I should have done some "hole sawing" while I had the bumper off :secret2:

I was disappointed when I removed door bars. Thought they should have weighed more for the effort I put into them. But every pound counts I guess.
