Default Ran my quickest times to date on Nittos!

I was on here last week crying about my Nittos and so I went to Virginia Motorsports Park Saturday to run test and tune. The weather and the track were both perfect. Right off the trailer I ran a7.602 @ 90in the1/8 and 11.90 @ 113 in the 1/4.This was with a 1.60 60'. I had to let the tires down to 12.5 psi and do a good burnout. I got the 60's down to a 1.58 and ran a 7.58 @ 90 and a 11.89 @ 113. I weighed the car after that run and it weighed 3375with me in it. The only problem I did have was hitting the rev limiter at the end of the1/4, the Nittos are a touuch shorter than the BFGs I was running.Mypevious bestwas an 7.60 1/8 and a 11.92 1/4. The changes I made were an electric fan, aluminum radiator,and moving the battery to the back.

No idea. I put my speed and car weight in the on-line dyno and it said around 390. I need to get a chip burned and run it on the dyno.

I love running this time of year, you can have your windows up and helmet on, and there is no sweat running in your face!
