Track Tonight New Best
Headed down to the 2 to last night of test and tune at Englishtown Raceway Park. Got a total of three runs in and left because it was getting to crowded. First two runs were 13.4s at a 104 and 105 mph with a 2.0 and 1.9 60 ft. I was bogging on the launch. 315 Nitto DRs heated up fairly well. I was launching too low around 2400 rpm. Third run I did the a nice hot burnout and launched it alot higher at 3k rpm and still bogged a little. Down at the other end hit a 13.2 at 106 or 7, dont have the slip next to me. I got really excited about that since its that much closer to the 12's i'm looking for. Got some vids but I won't have them up till later. That was the last night for me racing this year. Comments and advice is appreciated. I was shifting up around 6200 or 6300 rpm

congrats on getting closer to 12's, nice runs but i wanted to say from experience you should be runnin mid 12's with those numbers, just going by my experience...
i ran 13.0 @108 with a 1.89 60' and im makin 261/297 on a mustangdyno
def. launch it a lil higher, try 3200 cause thats what i launched at and was perfect for everytime.....

i never reliezed how hard it is too launch a car without a two step after I tried my friends 02 set up on the two step with an xcal. Its takes some concetration to do it. The track was packed tonight so I was a little disappointed they took my card so early. I felt with one more run I could have dropped those 2 tenths to get it down even.
