Default New personal best

Decided to get some runs in Friday night with the temp around 50 degrees and i was able to run a new personnel best. Car seems to be running good for the mods. What do you guys think?

1.77 60ft
7.8@88.56
12.2@111.39

Grats on the new best. I think you're running good for your mods power wise but IMO the 60' should be lower. Maybe you need a little more stall? I would think with that much trap and 3.73 gears you should be seeing 1.6x 60's and pushing 12.0 ET's.

I would look at your dyno and see what size stall would maximize your potential. Beautiful car you have there. Good luck and grats on the new best.

Thanks man! Im going to be ordering a circle-d 4c very shortly. How do you like yours?? I'm also spinning the first 20 or 30 feet(marginal track prep) so i have some suspension issues to work out as well.

I love my Circle-D converter. Excellent performance and quality. I think the 4C converter is going to match your cam a lot better. I wouldn't be surprised if you picked up a mph in trap speed and dropped to mid 1.6 60's.

Try some LCA's and play with the psi in the slicks until you find the sweet spot. I have mickey thompson street radials and they hook best at 19 psi with a decent size burnout.

Good luck.

Nice times and congrats on the new best. Where are you running? Coastal Plains? I was in Jacksonville this past weekend and wanted to go to the track but time didn't allow.
