Will do. Best time I had in TX was a 13.71, 2.26 60ft at 103 spinning 1st and 2nd on nitto 555r's...

Also..you need to size down that sig of yours....WAY TO BIG

Be careful of those rear axles, they can break easier than you think, same with differentails.

First off buddy, watch your tone. If you can not follow forum rules you can/will get an infraction from either myself or Mjr. But you did downsize it some so thank you.

And I will as soon as I get a chance tonight.

Mike, thanks!

Tinman, If I break 1 axle...I will be ok because I have another to replace it. If I break something in the diff..I have an extra one of those and a low milage 3.31 gear set, install kit and friction modifier ready for it :)

I am not going to go out and just dumb the clutch on the launch though nor and I am gonna power shift into 2nd..maybe 3rd but it will most likely cause me to miss it. This trans does need a rebuild but it works just fine on the street....4th gear..yea its getting shifted as hard as possible lol. Mainly because I know I can do it to 4th.

She should grab pretty good for ya ! Have fun . :)

Well good thing is, nothing broke and everything went pretty well. I only got 2 runs in because of some delays but its ok.

First run was on my 275/40/17 sumitomos. launched easy in 1st, short shifted into 2nd at around 4k and smoked 2nd gear having to back out of it a little and short shifted into 3rd.

2.319 60ft
9.204 1/8th at 82.78
13.930 at 105.23

Second run I used the MT Slicks at 15 PSI. I spun them over in the box, moved out of it and ATTEMPTED to smoke the slicks to warm them up BUT the were sticky enough to over power my brakes ( didn't dump the clutch at a high enough RPM) so I rolled forward as I was spinning them. Launched at 3k and matted it....hooked up good, snatched 2nd, 3rd and 4th. A little wobbly on the big end but all is good.

1.833 60ft
8.410 1/8th at 83.69
13.251 at 104.66

Was in the lanes to go a third time but the tree failed and we had to wait. They ended up shutting us down since it was after the 5pm shut down anyway. I was gonna launch it at 4k and get a better burn out before hand.

Gotta say I LOVE the slicks lol. That was my first run ever using slicks and other than the low RPM burnout it went pretty well.

My buddy ran a 12.3 with a trick flow top end and a 150 shot. on the way home I stuck with him from 30mph to 120 the whole way....a run before he decided to feed me the bottle and ran away from me when he noticed I was staying with him :)

Good times!! Can't wait to do it again :)

mjr46 03-31-2012 09:49 PM

Good job Justin!!! drive it a little harder!! I think you can squeeze a 12.90 et outta it!! and your buddy ran a 12.3 with a tfs h/c/i?? was that with the 150 shot or without??
