Default Track Day! New Best.

I went out to the track today to run with the NorthWest ProStreet guys. The only index I fit into was thier Real Street 12.5 index. Well after both of my time runs, the slowest I had managed was a 12.34@100 mph. Well I went up to the first round and managed a 12.52@89 mph and won!
Second round ended with a breakout at 12.34, oh well.

After all that fun, I managed to get a few T/O runs. Well for the time only runs, I switched over to the ET Streets. Nice. They hooked up for my really good.

Still not great off the line, I just can't get a good clean launch. I need to dial the fuel back abit, it pops off the line and kinda boggs. But it seems to move out of the hole good after that though!

First T/O pass:
60' 2.009
1/8 7.543@100.22
1/4 11.429@127.33

Second:
60' 2.113
1/8 7.534@100.68
1/4 11.401@127.69

Third:
60' 2.036
1/8 7.501@100.55
1/4 11.37@127.46

Fourth:
60' 1.926
1/8 7.356@100.87
1/4 11.229@127.33


Also, I never even got a warning. Never got the boot. I just figured I had pushed my luck enough!

Edit: One of my buds grabbed some video of the 11.22 run, its very low quality, (digital Camera) but you can see it cough off the line.

VIDEO HERE

Nice runs.. Are you quitting here or are you going for more? I'll bet its nice to have a stock driving car with a smooth idle run that fast huh?

That would be nice, I need to get the converter restalled. Right now it only flashes to 2200rpm. If I could get it to 2700ish it would rock out of the hole.

Nice Ryan. Unless your car is just super heavy, that hp to mph seems about right to me. I made similiar numbers when mine went 133 mph with a raceweight of 3220, so figuring yours being a bit heavier sounds about right.

Yeup, Megasquirt in and running great. The street tune is just about nuts on, May be a bit rich on the tip in, but thats better than lean!

Well, the car has everything in it, Sub Box, Amps, FULL INTERIOR. And I am running the Iron Block, and turbo system, it all adds up, but I haven't put it on the scales. I figure its close to 3700-3800 with my big *** thrown in. I just keep telling myself, "this will not turn into a race car". One of my hold backs, is I am really trying not to put a roll bar in the car.

Thanks for all of the positive replies!
Ryan
