Friday street night Went to Richmond Dragway again last night for their AED Friday Night Street Shootout, i was doing a little work to the car so i got there kinda late, but i was able to get a few passes in. for a reference here is the thread to my last outing.
Since then i have seafoamed the the car, switched to Mobil 1 oil and ATF, and changed the tranny filter. next on the list is differential fluid and spark plugs/wires. I was really disappointed at first, the car was really having some trouble, but thats because i usually run Sunoco 93, but i was late leaving for the track so i settled with some cheaper 93...
won't do that again, needless to say, so i ended up pulling some timing, and adding fuel via my Predator, and bam, dropped over a full second. (but like i said car was running horrible on the cheap gas.)
Before tune adjustments:
60:..............2.21
1/8 et:........9.37
1/8 mph:......77.33
1/4 et:........14.42
1/4 mph:......96.06
60:..............2.17
1/8 et:.........9.23
1/8 mph:.......78.55
1/4 et:.........14.20
1/4 mph:.......98.40
After adjustments:
60:.............2.06
1/8 et:........8.57
1/8 mph:.....85.71
1/4 et:.......13.18
1/4 mph:.....106.94
now i'm kicking my self for putting crappy gas in my car. I know that with a dyno tune and some DRs i'd be well in to the high/mid-high 12s. DRs will have to wait til next season though. i believe there are two street nights left and i am determined to reach two goals:
1: cut a 1.9x 60, on my street tires
2: break into 12's, with no/minimal modification

I think he was saying that your improvement shows how much little things can make a big difference. Let me know if you're hitting Richmond again next friday night, I few of us may roll down there with you. We normally go to MIR or Sumerduck on Thursday night, but I'd like to try Richmond too. I can pm you a good contact for local tuning if you're interested. Maybe you've seen my CETA around the burg??
