What was the DA?

 

lol acctually...it wasent as cold as my 11.7 at 113 run...and the car doesent have an alignment just with a tape measure...and i was running bias ply hoosiers instead of radials like normal...i honestly think it has a few more MPH left in her as it sits...

 

very nice results! I see that you still have plenty of weight to remove which will only make it more impressive.

FYI : cold doesn't always equal good air

 

yeah, my car actually lost .07 last weekend when air was cooler. I go off my brother's lungs, he can actually sense changes in humidity ever since he quit smoking.

Going downhill help too.

 

im just thinking, if it did happen how sweet it would be to take the record with a 4L60E, 4000 stall and 3.73 gear...i want that MPH record too hahaha with a radial, tune dialed in and alignment should help, and of corse more weight out

 

I'm all for you trying it as I think it would be awesome to do it with the 4l60E and a converter built for that transmission, but I dont see it happening unless you have a custom converter built and not an off the shelf piece. Not a big fan of that transmission either.

I did however get the mph record with that same combo you described. Good luck on going after the record. I hope to get mine back together one day to go after the record as well. That 10.685 is some very tough shoes to fill.

 

very very nice man, def gotta make my way up there and chk it out. Good luck getting her in the 10's

 

Im suprised he ran as good as he did knowing the track. I always have issues there..but its my local track. Congrats man! Looks like I may be yankin some weight out of mine to make sure I stay ahead! lol

 

thats what i said lol, i went there just for fun, idk what was sketchy-er the track or the shutdown area, felt like i was doin 120 through the woods on a gravel road...

 

try it at 100mph in a Dodge Ram with bad balljoints, tie rods, and u-joints. the second 1/8 mile of that track felt like a waterbed

 

At the end of the track I stop and swtich to my mud tires..then I return and get my slip. Its FD up..but I cant bitch because every other track is a good distance for me and if it closes IDK what Id do..

 

iv never made a pass on bias plys before, i felt like i was driving a boat...**** with all the countersteering i did i probably went 1330 feet lol wish i could afford radials and alignment before the year was over.

 

I run an 11 sec 4th gen on bias ply. Feels sturdy to me, but my **** is aligned. I prefer them for consistent bracket racing, even though I've never run radials.

I've always been all about weight. Radials weigh more but I understand they are a tad faster.

 

Radials don't weigh more. I just checked this out when Larry@AMS turned me on to the Hoosier Radials. Might wanna check those out.

 

IDK how I missed this thread before, but congrats, you got it flyin! PM me what I'm missing to get it done like that!

 

Radials definitely weigh more than a comparatively sized bias-ply tire. They have less rolling resistance though. The debate goes on about which one is quicker.

 

Nice, wish i could get to run in some non 3000 da air, maybe soon.

 

Wrong.

Hoosier Drag Slick 28.0/10.5-15* 27lbs
Hoosier Drag Radial P275/60R-15 24lbs

 

Those Hoosier radials are light! But according to this site: garyhoosierman.com, those 2 are the same weight @ 24 lbs. Hoosier has M/T beat to hell in the weight department. Where did you get your info? I can't get the Hoosier site to work.

edit: sorry to clutter up your thread OP. That's a very impressive time.

 

Took it from McCormack racings site. Could be that the one they list is a stiff sidewall or something. Finding accurate weights is quite difficult. Most manufacturers don't list it.
