Default New Best today :)

My local 1/4 mile track has yet to open so i went over to a local 1000ft. track to try out some new stuff since the 11.82 run at Hallsville. I have added Ed Wright tuning,BMR relocation brackets and RR Airbag. Here are my new best <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

1.58 60ft.
4.77 330
7.45@92.99 1/8th
9.74@105.34 1000ft.

1.58 60ft.
4.72 330 <---New Best
7.37@93.92 1/8th <---New Best
9.62@106.93 <---New Best

1.57 60ft. <---New Best
4.73 330
7.39@93.73 1/8th
9.65@106.35 1000ft.

I think i finally got my 60fts. in order now and im thinking mid 11s are possible in a few weeks <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> Car left HARD! Several time it pulled me back hard enough to where i pulled the steering wheel into my lap lol

Nice times Scott. Just FYI I ran have run a 7.36@91.78 and a 7.34@91.84. These runs were an 11.61@115.98 and 11.59@116.00 respectivly.

I think your car will see some 11.40's@117 if the weather holds.


What did you do exatcly to get the 60 foot down a tenth? Ed Wright tuning helped too?


Again, strong runs and congratulations =)

Very impressive!!! Your car is coming together very nice. I can't wait until you hit a 1/4th mile track.

Mike,the track that i ran on was prep alot better than the track i ran my 11.82 at. I added the tuning and BMR relocation brackets in the last month and it seems that the car is running stronger with the tuning. The brackets seem to plant the tires harder and keeps the car level on the launches along with 18psi in the RR airbag. On video watching the car leave it left the tree like a bullet lol Their was no squating what so ever just launch brutal off the line. I was leaving the tree at 1100rpms rather than flashing the converter at idel (850rpms) because it seems with the 3.73s it shocks the tires too much and causes wheel spin.

If i can get 11.50s i'll be very happy <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Jeff,i was really looking forward to seeing what your car was going to run with the Hammer cam,intake and tuning. Sucks that your o2 took a dump on you at the track <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0"> You should hit some low 12s and possible 11s in this weather with some good 60fts on the nittos. Get that 12 bolt and you will be right there with me <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
