Default 8.781 @ 155.90

posted this up in the drag racing results section:

Made two passes tonight at cecil county.

First pass off the trailer 5.71 @ 123.xx 1.38.

Changed the tune up, ran it out the back door:

1.348 60'
3.667
5.636 @ 124.87 1/8 mile
7.337 1000'
8.781 @ 155.90

Loaded it up and went home....between 12 hour workdays and staying up all night working on this car, I was exhausted.

I think there is a 5.4-5.5 1/8 mile in it. I brought in the direct port a little later and have a little left in the tune up. I either stand it up or smoke the radials, but now I think I've got it working.

The setup is an iron 402 with TEA heads, Fast Intake, NX direct port, Nitro Daves Plate. I've minitubbed the car and added a 10 pt roll cage to it.

Me too man - I really miss US41 dragway....a lot more relaxed than the tracks here in Maryland, and less people.

Never weighed it.

2 stages. The first is a plate with a .062 nitrous jet (like 125-150 hp). Then, .3 second out, I bring in a direct port with .031 nitrous jets (275-300 hp).

Fast intake, 402 cubic inches, glide, narrowed 9 inch, minitubs, 325 hoosier drag radials.
