Finally Got Her to the Track Again.... Made 4 passes before it started to rain.... it was a Local Track Rental and we got rained out..... rescheduled to the 10th...
I ran on my M/T 275/60/15 Drag Radials
All passes at 17 psi on 110 fuel
First pass i tried off the foot brake since it was the 1st time i had tried the Radials...
Spun to a 2.1 60' and ran an 11.9@134 pedaling it...
Spun the next pass bad about 400 ft out on the 1-2 shift and rolled to a 12.9@64
3rd pass Transbrake @3psi launch did a 1.84 60' Pedaling at half track again.....11.18@144
Man was it SCARY stopping.....
This was at Richmond Dragway the same track Mightey Mouse crashed at.... there is no stopping room there....Need to mount the Chute
So i decided to practice my launch's and my 60' and run 1/8 mile...
4th pass 5psi on the brake 1.64 60' ,6.25 1/8 @118 hit the brakes and still ran a 10.45@105
I had talked to Harlan and Tom and they told me to hit the tires harder...
The radials like a hard Transbrake launch.... so i was going to try more boost off the launch and the rain started coming down......
I cant complain.... didnt cost me much... $20 in diesel on the way up and back and $30 for 5 gallons of 110 and lunch.....
They didnt even charge us to run so i cant complain... it was better then being at work on Fri.
Here are a couple Pic's
Ill be working on the vids even though there not much.....
Hopefully my new Rearend will be in by then and i can try on my new 325/50 M/T Drag Radials...

Sheesh man. I need to find myself a pair of rear Weld wheels to mount some fat MT ET DRs too. And then some real wheels with slicks.
Why didn't you run on slicks?
Either way the 1/8mile time looks nice... still room to grow, but I think the slicks will be the main factor.
Good Luck and keep us posted!

6.25 is more like a 9.55 or so maybe even a low 9.50 at least on most turbo cars I've seen...typical nitrous/motor cars pull 1.55-1.56 but on my car I ALWAYS saw between 1.520 and 1.525.
That's 1/8 to 1/4 conversion times and based on over 75 passes and it was NEVER out of that range...my prior setups were always within a very small range as well.
So figure 9.5's at your current boost at around 150 mph maybe a few higher with the same 60 ft...just gotta get that 60 ft down you have the power for bottom 9's easy.

Though I think those 275-60-15's are not what I would use at that power level. I think that FI class of the PSCA mandates a 28x11.5 DOT and they spend a lot of time getting those cars to hook.
