Hey guys, I know a bunch of you don't hang out in the 4.6 section, so I figured I'd post this here as well. I went to the quartermile for a cure event today with SAMC, and I only got one run in by the time I had to leave, which was pretty pathetic, but I think my run turned out well even though it was a horrible 5400' DA, that and the fact that they told me I couldn't run anymore because I didn't have a fire jacket.

but anyway, enough small talk, here are the times, leaving off of idle, on 275/40/17 BFG T/A KD's

R/T .120
60' 1.737
330 4.763
1/8 7.207
mph 101.63
10000 9.303
1/4 11.077
mph 126.87

 

damn man, you got a beast. Thats a sick as time with a sick trap speed.

 

VERY NICE. Just imagine what you could have done with some sticky tires and a drag race launch.

 

Nice job OP! Thats a sick 60' time leaving off idle. Ahhh, the possibilities....

 

well, originally I was going to support quartermile for a cure, mainly because Im a cancer survivor, so it meant alot for me. Lately I've been running 8PSI, and I didn't know how many runs I was going to get in, but I brought the laptop, smaller pulley, and bigger injectors with me, but being that I was only runnin 8PSI, I was only running the street tires, I really expected to be running the 8PSI tune the entire time

We got to the strip when the gates opened, went through tech, and I was ready to start staging. It was very histarical, because when I went through tech, he looked at the car, and the fact that I was only running boost and fuel pressure gauges, street tires, and was like "oh, I see you have a helmet", marked me off, and marked me off for a fire jacket, but told me if I ran faster than 11.5, they wouldn't let me run again because of the jacket.

So, we were waiting, and they announced that we weren't going to be able to stage until 10AM, so I decided to swap pulleys and tunes and run at my normal level.

Did a short, very, very, short burnout, lined up, and almost pedaled the car. I know I didn't see full boost in 1st, so there was definitely more in the car, just a matter of how much.

The guy I was racing against was running a stockish NA GT, and was kind of cockey when he heard that I hadn't been to a drag strip before, so I think he thought he was going to beat me just because I was going to spin, but It turns out I shut him up pretty quick

 

/\LOL...

great times man! around here if u have a aftermarket blower the fire jacket is a must no matter what your times are!

you got yourself a very impassive ride! any pics or vids from the track?

 

that's one of the things that pissed me off. I didn't get to go to best buy like I had wanted the night before to get a decent camera, so all I had was my 2 megapixle camera which is supposed to have a freaking thing to video record it, and my dad was there.

apparently he couldn't figure out how to take a video, so all I have is a couple pictures of the other cars, there was a car show there as well.

The tech inspector actually came by, erased the number off of my car, and took the sticker off that said I passed tech, in a very dramatic huff.

 

older generation FTL!


what a turd!

 

well to be fair, NHRA rules say I should have been wearing a fire jacket anyway, so it wasn't his fault.

and my dad, I don't know where I'd be without him, and to be fair again, the camera sucks, and I just checked and even I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT how to record a video.

anyway, here are the couple pictures I do have

 

Were you one of the fastest cars there?
