Yeah, last time out was mid 14s & wheel hop up the *** on the street tires, 2.5 60fts. lol, in the fall/winter the air is really great here, DA will be below 1000ft. most of the time.

I'm back & it went fairly good considering the DA was in the mid 2500ft range, i got a new best all around, but surprizeingly i couldn't muster better then a 2.0 with the exception of a 1.99 one time, overall i'm very happy with the results, the last run i up'ed the fuel pressure some, but it netted the slowest run but got the best 60ft., the air had cooled off some (sun was down), maybe it needs a better tune then the hypertech is doing, could be running lean, who knows, normally you'll run faster MPH when the sun goes down if your running on the rich end, but having it slow that much makes me think it might be lean, but its most likely just me lol, here are the runs in order.

60ft. 2.1297
330 5.89
1/8 9.02 @ 79.70
1/4 13.82 @ 100.87 Left at 3500 & dumped the clutch

60ft. 2.0032
330 5.70
1/8 8.82 @ 79.28
1/4 13.58 @ 101.56 Left at 5000 & dumped the clutch

60ft. 2.0018
330 5.68
1/8 8.81 @ 79.80
1/4 13.55 @ 101.95 Left at 4000 & let the clutch out quick (didn't dump it)

4th. run WASH missed 2nd. gear lol.

60ft. 1.9902
330 5.89
1/8 9.11 @ 78.33
1/4 13.95 @ 100.33 Left at 4000 & let the clutch out quick.

I guess just past'd or torwards the end of the 60ft. it laid over a bit, then took off, this must explain the loss, it was most likely driver error on the launch or the car had a brain fart lol, it felt like it did the same thing on the 1st. run too, but not as bad.

I honestly don't know, i would just love to work on the 60fts. i may see about taking out some spare weight, but most likely i'll get a tune & SFCs, i was really considering a 100 shot, but i don't want to scatter anything on this engine or loose a head gasket, if i had the $$$, a cam would be in the future, i don't see that happening. So my goal at this point is 13.2s with good air & driveing skills, that too me is fast as **** for what i have with the Alt. of this track plus the mileage

Good stuff, see if you can tweek what you have so you dont have to drop any cash. Especially with the 60ft, but thats all practice since you already have DRs and you should still hook good even with no suspension mods.....

you said you ran mid 14s before, so going to 13.55 this time is nothing to laugh at. Thats quite the improvement.

I usually go on wed nights, but if you go on a friday let me know and I could possibly make it up there. Ive been meaning to go this season but its been raining here a crapload.

You wouldent have had a hard time spankin me last I was there, only managed a best of 14.0 at 100.80 or 101 or something with a shitty opti and street tires spinning everywhere. Just got it back togeather with the MSD opti and have some lightly broken in MTs ready to go, maybe this time I can hook.

Opti was throwing code 36, it had no pull after 4-4500 but I ran it anyways since I drove it all the way there... That combined with the fact that I had normal tires that just spun the ENTIRE time whenever I got allllll the way into it (so yes, I had to let out of it alllooottt)....

CamaroRacing12 is right, I should have been somewhere in the 106 area. Im totally shocked that it even pulled a 14 out of its *** considering the way it ran then versus how it runs now.

But now that all of that is taken care of (new opti, tuneup, MT DRs) I will be back this season for some REAL numbers.
