New best for the 1/8
Re: New best for the 1/8 I have a ST-3500 in my 01 Formula. I ran a best of 7.92 with a 1.67 60 Ft. You'll be in the 7.90's easy with a little better 60 ft. <img src="graemlins/formula.gif" border="0" alt="[Pontiac]" />

New best for the 1/8 Well, I had to miss the test and tune Sat at HRP because of work, but I was able to make it out to the local 1/8 track in Navasota. All I have to say is that I love the ST3500 and the nittos. Previous best was a 8.7 with a 2.18 60'.
New Times
60': 1.92
ET : 8.18
MPH: 85.6
60': 1.78
ET : 8.04
MPH: 86.3
I still had some wheel spin on both runs, so I know I can cut down the 60' some. I think a low 1.7/ high 1.6 isn't unreasonable to expect. That should net me a 7.9x. I know its small potatoes to what some of you run, but I am pretty happy considering what is done to the car. Does anybody know what that would work out to in the 1/4 for these cars? Oh yeah the car weighs in at 3520 lbs with me in it, had half a tank of gas, and has 2.73s

Re: New best for the 1/8 I'd agree with Steve, you should be in the mid 12's with a 8.0 1/8 and 86-87 mph and a good hook. Good luck!!

Re: New best for the 1/8 I agree that the times are off. I'm sure I can get into the 7.8x - 7.9x range as the car sits though. I will just have to run at a track that will hook better. Navasota isn't exactly known for its track quality. The locals call it "The Nasty" for a reason, trust me. I guess I will have to run at HRP soon to find out. Crossing my fingers for some low 12s.
