Default Opinion on times

Went to the track Friday and didn't do as well as I could have I think. Traction was a serious issue. I had ET streets on the car and could not hook. An AWD Stealth was spinning all 4 He ran a best of 12.06@114 next to me. Also my car would not shift under WOT on the juice. Here it is
1st N/A pass 12.43@113 2.2 60ft
2nd N/A pass 12.51@112 2.2 60ft

1st 100 shot pass 12.10@119 2.1 60ft 94mph in 1/8
2nd 100 11.84@117.19/ 98.47 in 1/8 2.08 60ft
3rd 100 11.75@115.98 1.9 60ft 95.95 in 1/8
I had to let off everytime to let the car shift on the spray. I think with traction I can get an 11.8 N/A which will make me happy.

find yourself some traction man. terrible 60fts. But nice mph on motor. Kinda low mph on spray,IMHO.
With SI i trapped 117 on a 100 shot with only 800 psi,(normally i run 1100 psi),just bolt-ons and a wet kit. (New vertor,this year)
Was your bottle full? Each pass you kept losing mph.
With a 1.54 60ft i ran a best last year of 11.4x @ 118-119. (150 shot ,old convertor) And on motor this year i pulled a 12.42 @ 108 1.67 60ft,you can see why i like your mph .
Good luck hooking that thing up. I think your 11.8 goal can be had if ya find some bite.

I was thinking the same. The mph on spray was with lifting after bouncing off of the rev limiter also before each shift. THanks
