Default First ¼ mile run with the TR224/114, stock heads and boltons

I went out the track tonight full weight and in street trim minus the spare and jack. Race weight was about 3558. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> The weather was very good. The DA was -978. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> I knew that I was going to be traction limited so I babied her off the line to a 1.8 60’ ¼ mile ET was 11.86 @ 116.32. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> The ET is not that good but I am very happy with the trap speed. Well I am very happy with the cam. I gained over 3mph with the cam and my race weight was about 200lbs heavier. I think that in race trim (~3350lbs with skinnies and ET Streets) the car will run 11.4s. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />

John,

I couldn't get anything better than 13.0??@108. With all I have, that is just pathetic! I can't remember my best 60', but I don't think I cut any 2.0's.I can't hook at all. I almost wrecked a few times coming out the whole or 1/3 way down the track. Probably should have waited until sunday to go. I also should have put the stock programing back in to see if the predator was even helping me. Monday I'm takeing it back to the dealer for the rearend. I swear it has got to be messed up! Not only does it crackle sometimes,but when you get on it hard, it almost feels like it is buckling in the back or something? Hopefully, they are going to give me a new rearend this time. If that doesn't fix it, I don't know what I'm going to do <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
