well...sorry guys but i didnt get into the 12's...several issues i have to take care of...here are the results of last nights runs...

1st pass: 1.71 60 ft
8.31 1/8 @ 82.2 mph
13.31 1/4 @ unknown
I missed 4th gear on this run and still cant believe I pulled a 13.3??? This was also my best 60 of the night...

2nd pass: 1.75 60 ft
8.42 1/8 @ 80.466
13.28 1/4 @ unknown

3rd pass: 1.73 60 ft
8.46 1/8 @ 80.118
13.33 1/4 @ unknown

4th pass: 1.73 60 ft
8.47 1/8 @ 80.13
13.36 1/4 @ unknown

Like i mentioned earlier...a couple things i have to take care of...

ONE...i had previously upgraded my brakes to the bigger sn95's and i never changed over my master cylinder or booster or proportioning valve...so when i was doing a burnout, my front brakes didnt want to hold me so i had to let off and never saw white smoke come out of the slicks on all 4 passes...

SECOND...i have new adjustable suspension and just as i thought, i am gonna have to go to the track a couple of times before i am able to dial it in properly...i think the adjustments are off a little bit and not allowing me to properly hook...my car was unloading the wheels...trial and error i guess...reminds me of my ex-mach...took a couple of tries before i got it to hook hard

On a positive note...my e-fan and aluminum ds are working great...if i wouldve ran those 1/8th times without those 2 mods...i'd be running 13.5's...so i actually picked up about 2-3 tenths on the top end...my 60 is killing me so if i can get my 60 back down to a mid 1.6 like before...i think id get that 12.99 or better...

so with that being said...i gotta fine tune my suspension and get my front brakes to hold me (possibly a line lock too) and hit the track again and hope for the best...

Darn mph sensor at the track was not working so who knows what i was coming out at??? I wont let you all down...i'll be back! lol

thats too bad, i was thinkin you'd get it but that adj. suspension can be a bitch sometimes. i dont remember you sayin anything about your break upgrade but i might have just missed that thread.(gotta be fun when the breaks dont hold you that well, ha) still excellent runs and you didnt break anything which is always a plus.

good luck on the next showing.

yeah..the brakes were pissing me off...i figure the suspension was gonna need some adjusting but..man...i'm leaving out of state for some training for 3 weeks...wont be able to run again till early May...

FivePointOhh

that sucks. yea my junk will be sitting motorless for a while now that i got my new toys. sucks not being able to drive it.

Portmaster

It was pretty consistant. How were your reation times?

cant wait to see what you run when the brakes hold. good luck gettin the suspension dialed it, keep us updated!

man that really sucks you couldn't get the final mph, at our local track the dang scoreboard bulbs are half burnt out so as a spectator we can't often tell what people run

Slo5oh

Probably hitting the tires too hard and bouncing off. That and get a good burnout of it, youll be shining again. Its ****ing annoying when you dont get enough runs in to get too much tuning done. Better luck next time.

Don't worry Rooster. I'll pass by this summer hopefully that the money holds out and I can help adjust as long as you do the driving and we can get that beast into the 12's. I know it can be done. You just bring the dancing girls LOL

Thanks to everyone for the cool comments...i was a little down that my 60 suffered but hey , it happens...i'm going out of state for 3 weeks(Georgia) for some training...when i come back its on again!!! I'll have a line lock for sure next time out....gotta burn those slicks to heat them up good...i'm dowloading the video as we speak....it'll be up soon...i ahve all year to hit those 12's....of course i'd like it sooner!! lol
