Default New PB mph

Been enjoying the car alot more this summer on the street and the strip.
Working on getting the car dialed in.

Ran a new pb 1/8 mph= 106.52mph
Still have some work to do.
The air wasn't bad (temp=79 degrees) and dry.

106mph NA stock bottom end is almost unbelievable. That car is making some serious power!

Good to know.
1.49
Your killer 60' might have trumped the mph slightly too.

ditto... and your 60' wasn't that far off from mine.

what was the ET?

for reference on my 10.20 pass with an identical 1/8th MPH, and just a slightly better 1.472 - 60', I went 6.568 in the 1/8th. see the middle slip.



if you can get that car to move up top like it does down low I think you may get that single digit slip you're after.

I hear ya.
The et for that pass was 10.32.
I was breaking in the new clutch.(2nd pass on it).
I'm confident I will 60' between 1.38-1.41 when the time comes especially at Atco which will help a bit for et. I will need some -da to get the car to boggie on the 2nd half of the run.( I should pick up 40hp with the dense cold air).
I also have the tune very conservative right now.
My 10.2x runs are very similar to your 10.20 pass in 60' and 1/8 mile et.
I will likely need a 6.40(1/8)or better in stellar air to do it.
Congrats on the new mod!

Set a few new best today.

1/8mph=106.98mph

330'- 4.19
1/8 et - 6.51
then proceeded to miss 4th and gave up a 10.1x run.
Bummed but at least I drove home in one piece.

Congrats Rob. You're on your way. Time to step up that tune. Enough of the "conservative" already!!
Are you loggin your passes? I'd love to see a log and your current tune. Still got my email?
