Yep that right tonight at one of my clubs private track rentals I hit a 1.454 60' on MT 275/40/r17 DR's.. I dead hooked and even bogged a little on it. Could have given it more.

Here are the 4 run slips I have in front of me, there are a few more but I think they are still in the car. the 2 best are here and thats what matters.

60' ____ 1.454 ____ 1.843 ____ 1.852 ____ 1.848
330 ____ 4.919 ____ 5.303 ____ 5.335 ____ 5.351
1/8 ____ 7.785 ____ 8.150 ____ 8.211 ____ 8.228
mph ____ 86.58 ____ 86.93 ____ 86.14 ____ 86.15
1000 __ 10.219 ____ 10.578 ___ 10.653 ____ 10.671
1/4 ___ 12.686 ____ 12.63 ____ 12.762 ____ 12.744
mph __ 109.38 ____ 109.44 ____ 108.85 ____ 108.80


DA was OK.. The temps cooled down but the humidity jumped up and dew was forming on the cars.

In a couple days when the video of the event and the pics are uploaded I'll see if they got the 1.454 run on video. I can't wait to see the launch.

I did not even toy with the settings on the shocks/struts at all tonight. Since it was a night event I did not feel like getting under the car to adjust the bottom of the shocks/struts so I left them to my street settings and kept the tops set to what I ran last night which stiffened the right rear abit more then the left.

A few race cars we let run and one oiled down the track (damn chevy camaro) and then we had a few others break. A fox body left antifreeze on the track which sucked as it was only 40 minutes before the end so only had one last run not hot lap allowed ( the 12.638 run was the last run)

The 1.454 60' could have been a low 12 second run but I was early and slow on the shift to 4th and the car was a bit out of the power band in 4th.. I need those gears to make the 26in DR's worth it on the top end. But an 8.15 @ 86.93 got me a 12.6 and the 7.785 @ 86.68 got me 12.686 so you can see that the run had alot more potential for the top end.

damn, have you got cams?
Awesome nontheless

vsop

No cams here.. Just the mods in the sig..
I do have a full suspension UCA. LCA, PHB all with heim joints as well as Tubular K member and A arms plus double adjustable shocks/struts coil over setup.

Next I need the Aluminum DS, Gears (4.10's are going in) and a shifter and I should be able to hit 11's if I can dead hook like tonight.

Good God!!!
great pull nonetheless, with a good driver anything's possible

vsop

Know where I can find one of these good driver mods..? I need to find one that can shift into 4th cleaner then me.. I suck on the long throw the stock shifter has. I also probably has to do with the fact that I'm used to only shifting upto 3rd when powershifting

blueherd02gt

well, a shifter mod really is all you need

mygt500

I agree...it should help greatly and maybe shave a little more time off the top end. The gear will help everything too! Great time on the 60'! Must be a decent driver to get those numbers! Later J

Vidmond scored a 12.5 run on just Drag Radials, Intake & Tune, Short throw shifter and 4.10 gears I do believe.

On the 1.45 60ft run you definately had a low 12 second pass working. The 1/8 mile et on that run confirms this.Nevetheless those were awesome runs and i hope to see you hit 11's NA. Get those 4.10 in so you can get the car in to 4th gear alot soonerthan right before the traps. With a 4.10 gear and 26inch tall drag radial you should hit 4th gear just after the 1/8 mile at around 88-90mph assuming you shift at 6400 rpm.

vsop

Yea, I need the gears and a Drive shaft. I have heard of guys exploding the stock one so I don't want any part of that. so once I get teh DS the gears will go in at the same time.
