Default Once again, new times!

Well, I continued my pursuit to 11's tonight, but couldn't get it. But, I did improve my 60ft. INCREDIBLY by pulling off a best of 1.79! I do want to thank all the people that told me to dump the **** out of it because I did. Anyway, I ran a best of 12.006, which I know I should have pooped before I ran, but it's fine. My best trap of the night was 117.07 which I was shocked about since my clutch is about to say goodbye. But, I'm happy with what I have and now I have some downtime to add my goodies to it so I can really do some damage. Once again, here's the slip:

Wow you couldn't have got much closer to the 11s then you did lol

Good run and good job on the continued improvements. What tires are you running?

Awesome time!


Must sound sick with the turbo spooling as you're doing your burn outs.

Thanks man. Wish I could have gotten those 11s, but this will have to do for now. I'm currently running 26x11.5x17 m/t e/t streets @ 18psi. I'm going to lower it next time for better 60ft's.

Appreciate it and It does sound sick! A guy in a gt500 was like "damn, I think I like yours better" lol.

I gave you credit on s197forums!!

I'm not power shifting. My clutch can barely handle my 1st to 2nd shift. I also don't want to hurt my motor just yet by missing a shift.

I'm at 18psi right now, but probably going to lower it when I'm out next time.

Damn those are some nice times. What really impresses me the most is the trap. 117 is the range you should be in all day. Like I said last time I can't wait to see what kind of numbers you get with a good clutch in there. Makes me wanna say forget the fox I want an S197 with a turbo.

Clutch is coming soon and I can't wait any longer. Just debating on what to get is killing me. If you have any ideas, throw em out there as I need some people that can give me good advice. With whichever one I get, I want a flywheel too. Than I'll be trapping well into the 117-120 range, if not more

Congrats dude, keep up the good work. She still probably got a good 3 or 4 tenths left in her.
